Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia - behavior and sleep problems. Having a daily routine may help. Calmly reassuring and giving cues to orient the person who has dementia is also helpful in the evening and closer to bedtime. Try to keep the person going to bed at the same time every night. Calm activities at the end of the day and before bedtime may help the person with dementia sleep better at night. If they are active during the day, these calm activities can make them tired and better able to sleep. Avoid loud noises and activity in the home at night, so the person does not wake up once they are asleep. DO NOT restrain a person with dementia when they are in bed. If you are using a hospital bed that has guard rails in the home, putting the rails up may help keep the person from wandering at night. Always talk with the person's health care provider before giving them store-bought sleep medicines. Many sleep aids can make confusion worse. If the person with dementia has hallucinations (sees things that are not there): Try to decrease the stimulation around them. Help them avoid things with bright colors or bold patterns. Make sure there is enough light so that there are no shadows in the room. But DO NOT make rooms so bright that there is a glare. Help them avoid movies or television shows that are violent or action-packed. Take the person to places where they can move around and exercise during the day, such as shopping malls. If the person who has dementia has an angry outburst, try not to touch or restrain them -- only do so if you need to for safety. If possible, try to stay calm and distract the person during outbursts. Do not take their behavior personally. Call 911 if you or the person with dementia is in danger. Try to prevent them from getting hurt if they start wandering. Also, try to keep the person's home stress-free. Keep lighting low, but not so low that there are shadows. Take down mirrors or cover them. DO NOT use bare light bulbs. Call the person's provider if: You think medicines may be the cause of changes in the behavior of the person who has dementia. You think the person may not be safe at home. Sundowning - care. Alzheimer disease Alzheimer disease. Budson AE, Solomon PR. Evaluating the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia - daily care. People who have early memory loss can give themselves reminders to help them function each day. Some of these include: Asking the person you are talking with to repeat what they said. Repeating what someone said to you 1 or 2 times. This will help you remember it better. Writing down your appointments and other activities in a planner or on a calendar. Keep your planner or calendar in an obvious place, like beside your bed. Posting messages around your home where you will see them, such as the bathroom mirror, next to the coffee pot, or on the phone. Keeping a list of important phone numbers next to every phone. Having clocks and calendars around the house so you stay aware of the date and what time it is. Labeling important items. Developing habits and routines that are easy to follow. Planning activities that improve your thinking, such as puzzles, games, baking, or indoor gardening. Have someone nearby for any tasks that may have a risk of injury. Some people who have dementia may refuse food or not eat enough to stay healthy on their own. Help the person get enough exercise. Ask them to go outside with you for a walk. Have someone the person likes, such as a friend or relative, prepare and serve them food. Reduce distractions around the eating area, such as the radio or TV. Do not give them foods that are too hot or too cold. Give the person finger foods if they have problems using utensils. Try different foods. It is common for people who have dementia to have decreased smell and taste. This will affect their enjoyment of food. In later stages of dementia, the person may have trouble chewing or swallowing. Talk with the person's health care provider about a proper diet. At some point, the person may need a diet of only liquid or soft foods, to prevent choking. Keep distractions and noise down: Turn off the radio or TV Close the curtains Move to a quieter room To avoid surprising the person, try to make eye contact before touching or speaking to them. Use simple words and sentences, and speak slowly. Speak in a quiet voice. Talking loudly, as if the person is hard of hearing, will not help. Repeat your words, if needed. Use names and places the person knows. Try not to use pronouns, such as 'he,' 'she,' and 'them.' This can confuse someone with dementia. Tell them when you are going to change the subject. Talk to people who have dementia as adults. Don't make them feel as if they are children. And don't pretend to understand them if you do not. Ask questions so they can answer with 'yes' or 'no.' Give the person clear choices, and a visual cue, such as pointing to something, if possible. Don't give them too many options. When giving instructions: Break directions down into small and simple steps. Allow time for the person to understand. If they get frustrated, consider switching to another activity. Try to get them talking about something they enjoy. Many people with dementia like to talk about the past, and many can remember the distant past better than recent events. Even if they remember something wrong, do not insist on correcting them. People with dementia may need help with personal care and grooming. Their bathroom should be nearby and easy to find. Consider leaving the bathroom door open, so they can see it. Suggest that they visit the bathroom several times a day. Make sure their bathroom is warm. Get them undergarments made for urine or stool leakage. Make sure they are cleaned well after going to the bathroom. Be gentle when helping. Try to respect their dignity. Make sure the bathroom is safe. Common safety devices are: A tub or shower seat Handrails Anti-skid mats Do not let them use razors with blades. Electric razors are best for shaving. Remind the person to brush their teeth at least 2 times a day. A person with dementia should have clothing that is easy to put on and take off. Do not give them too many choices about what to wear. Velcro is much easier than buttons and zippers to use. If they still wear clothes with buttons and zippers, they should be in the front. Get them pullover clothes and slip on shoes, as their dementia gets worse. Alzheimer disease Alzheimer disease. Alzheimer's Association website.

Life adjustments for memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia - home care. A loved one with dementia will need support in the home as the disease gets worse. You can help by trying to understand how the person with dementia perceives his or her world. Give the person a chance to talk about any challenges and take part in his or her own daily care. Start by talking with your loved one's health care provider. Ask how you can: Help the person stay calm and oriented Make dressing and grooming easier Talk to the person Help with memory loss Manage behavior and sleep problems Encourage activities that are both stimulating and enjoyable Tips for reducing confusion in people with dementia include: Have familiar objects and people around. Family photo albums can be useful. Keep lights on at night. Use reminders, notes, lists of routine tasks, or directions for daily activities. Stick to a simple activity schedule. Talk about current events. Taking regular walks with a caregiver can help improve communication skills and prevent wandering. Calming music may reduce wandering and restlessness, ease anxiety, and improve sleep and behavior. People with dementia should have their eyes and ears checked. If problems are found, hearing aids, glasses, or cataract surgery may be needed. People with dementia should also have regular driving tests. At some point, it won't be safe for them to continue to drive. This may not be an easy conversation, so seek help from their provider and other family members. State laws vary on the ability of a person with dementia to continue to drive. Supervised meals can help with feeding. People with dementia often forget to eat and drink, and can become dehydrated as a result. Talk to the provider about the need for extra calories due to increased physical activity from restlessness and wandering. Also talk to the provider about: Watching for risk of choking and what to do if choking occurs How to increase safety in the home How to prevent falls Ways to improve bathroom safety The Alzheimer's Association's Safe Return Program requires people with dementia to wear an identification bracelet. If they wander, their caregiver can contact the police and the national Safe Return office, where information about them is stored and shared nationwide. Eventually, people with dementia may need 24-hour monitoring and assistance to provide a safe environment, control aggressive or agitated behavior, and meet their needs. LONG-TERM CARE A person with dementia may need monitoring and help at home or in an institution. Possible options include: Adult day care Boarding homes Nursing homes In-home care Many organizations are available to help you care for a person with dementia. They include: Adult protective services Community resources Local or state government departments of aging Visiting nurses or aides Volunteer services In some communities, dementia-related support groups may be available. Family counseling can help family members cope with home care. Advance directives, power of attorney , and other legal actions may make it easier to decide on care for the person with dementia. Seek legal advice early, before the person is unable to make these decisions. There are support groups that can provide information and resources for people with Alzheimer disease and their caregivers. Caring for someone with dementia; Home care - dementia. Budson AE, Solomon PR. Why diagnose and treat memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia? Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia - keeping safe in the home. Wandering can be a serious problem for people who have more advanced dementia. These tips may help prevent wandering: Place alarms on all doors and windows that will sound if the doors are opened. Place a 'Stop' sign on doors to the outside. Keep car keys out of sight. To prevent harm when someone with dementia does wander: Have the person wear an ID bracelet or necklace with their name, address, and phone number on it. Tell neighbors and others in the area that the person who has dementia may wander. Ask them to call you or to help them get home if this happens. Fence and close off any areas that may be dangerous, such as a stairwell, deck, a hot tub, or a swimming pool. Consider giving the person a GPS device or a cell phone with a GPS locator embedded in it. Inspect the person's house and remove or reduce hazards for tripping and falling. DO NOT leave a person who has advanced dementia alone at home. Lower the temperature of the hot water tank. Remove or lock up cleaning products and other items that may be poisonous. Make sure the kitchen is safe. Remove knobs on the stove when it is not in use. Lock up sharp objects. Remove, or store the following in locked areas: All medicines, including the person's medicines and any over-the-counter drugs and supplements. All alcohol. All guns.

Life adjustments for memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia and driving. People with signs of dementia should have regular driving tests. Even if they pass a driving test, they should be retested in 6 months. If your loved one does not want you getting involved in their driving, get help from their health care provider, lawyer, or other family members. Even before you see driving problems in someone with dementia, look for signs that the person may not be able to drive safely, such as: Forgetting recent events Mood swings or getting angry more easily Problems doing more than one task at a time Problems judging distance Trouble making decisions and solving problems Becoming confused more easily Signs that driving may be getting more dangerous include: Getting lost on familiar roads Reacting more slowly in traffic Driving too slowly or stopping for no reason Not noticing or paying attention to traffic signs Taking chances on the road Drifting into other lanes Getting more agitated in traffic Getting scrapes or dents on the car Having trouble parking. It may help to set limits when driving problems start. Stay off busy roads, or do not drive at times of the day when traffic is heaviest. Do not drive at night when it is hard to see landmarks. Do not drive when the weather is bad. Do not drive long distances. Drive only on roads the person is used to. Caregivers should try to lessen the person's need to drive without making them feel isolated. Have someone deliver groceries, meals, or prescriptions to their home. Find a barber or hairdresser who will make home visits. Arrange for family and friends to visit and take them out for a few hours at a time. Plan other ways to get your loved one places. Family members or friends, buses, taxis, and senior transportation services may be available. As danger to others or to your loved one increases, you may need to prevent them from being able to use the car. Ways to do this include: Hiding the car keys Leaving out car keys that will not start the car Disabling the car so it will not start Selling the car Storing the car away from the home. Alzheimer disease Alzheimer disease. Budson AE, Solomon PR. Life adjustments for memory loss, Alzheimer's disease, and dementia. Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia due to metabolic causes. Possible metabolic causes of dementia include: Hormonal disorders, such as Addison disease , Cushing disease Heavy metal exposure, such as to lead, arsenic, mercury, or manganese Repeat episodes of low blood sugar ( hypoglycemia ), most often seen in people with diabetes who use insulin High level of calcium in the blood, such as due to hyperparathyroidism Low level of thyroid hormone ( hypothyroidism ) or high level of thyroid hormone ( thyrotoxicosis ) in the body Liver cirrhosis Kidney failure Nutritional disorders, such as vitamin B1 deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, pellagra , or protein-calorie malnutrition Porphyria Poisons, such as methanol Severe alcohol use Wilson disease Disorders of the mitochondria (energy-producing parts of cells) Rapid changes in sodium level. Metabolic disorders may cause confusion and changes in thinking or reasoning. These changes may be short-term or lasting. Dementia occurs when the symptoms are not reversible. Symptoms can be different for everyone. They depend on the health condition causing the dementia. The early symptoms of dementia can include: Difficulty with tasks that take some thought but used to come easily, such as balancing a checkbook, playing games (such as bridge), and learning new information or routines Getting lost on familiar routes Language problems, such as trouble with names of familiar objects Losing interest in things previously enjoyed, flat mood Misplacing items Personality changes and loss of social skills, which can lead to inappropriate behaviors As the dementia gets worse, symptoms are more obvious and interfere with the ability to take care of yourself: Changing sleep patterns, often waking up at night Forgetting details about current events, forgetting events in one's life history Having difficulty doing basic tasks, such as preparing meals, choosing proper clothing, or driving Having hallucinations, arguments, striking out, and behaving violently More difficulty reading or writing Poor judgment and losing the ability to recognize danger Using the wrong word, not pronouncing words correctly, speaking in confusing sentences Withdrawing from social contact The person may also have symptoms from the disorder that caused dementia. Depending on the cause, a nervous system (neurologic examination) is done to identify the problems. Tests to diagnose a medical condition causing the dementia may include: Ammonia level in the blood Blood chemistry , electrolytes Blood glucose level BUN , creatinine to check kidney function Liver function tests Lumbar puncture (spinal tap) Nutritional assessment Thyroid function tests Urinalysis Vitamin B12 level To rule out certain brain disorders, an EEG (electroencephalogram), head CT scan , or head MRI scan is usually done. The aim of treatment is to manage the disorder and control symptoms. With some metabolic disorders, treatment may stop or even reverse the dementia symptoms. Medicines used to treat Alzheimer disease have not been shown to work for these types of disorders. Sometimes, these drugs are used anyway, when other treatments fail to control the underlying problems. Plans should also be made for home care for people with dementia. Outcome varies, depending on the cause of the dementia and the amount of damage to the brain. Complications may include the following: Loss of ability to function or care for self Loss of ability to interact Pneumonia , urinary tract infections , and skin infections Pressure sores Symptoms of the underlying problem (such as loss of sensation due to a nerve injury from vitamin B12 deficiency). Call for an appointment with your health care provider if symptoms get worse or continue. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if there is a sudden change in mental status or a life-threatening emergency. Treating the underlying cause may reduce the risk for metabolic dementia. Chronic brain - metabolic; Mild cognitive - metabolic; MCI - metabolic. Brain Brain Brain and nervous system Brain and nervous system. Budson AE, Solomon PR. Other disorders that cause memory loss or dementia. Encyclopedia Entry for Dementia : Dementia. Dementia usually occurs in older age. Most types are rare in people under age 60. The risk of dementia increases as a person gets older. Most types of dementia are nonreversible (degenerative). Nonreversible means the changes in the brain that are causing the dementia cannot be stopped or turned back. Alzheimer disease is the most common type of dementia. Another common type of dementia is vascular dementia. It is caused by poor blood flow to the brain, such as with stroke. Lewy body disease is a common cause of dementia in older adults. People with this condition have abnormal protein structures in certain areas of the brain. The following medical conditions can also lead to dementia: Huntington disease Brain injury Multiple sclerosis Infections such as HIV/ AIDS , syphilis , and Lyme disease Parkinson disease Pick disease Progressive supranuclear palsy Some causes of dementia may be stopped or reversed if they are found soon enough, including: Brain injury Brain tumors Long-term (chronic) alcohol abuse Changes in blood sugar, sodium, and calcium levels ( dementia due to metabolic causes ) Low vitamin B12 level Normal pressure hydrocephalus Use of certain medicines, including cimetidine and some cholesterol drugs Some brain infections. Dementia symptoms include difficulty with many areas of mental function, including: Emotional behavior or personality Language Memory Perception Thinking and judgment (cognitive skills) Dementia usually first appears as forgetfulness. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is the stage between normal forgetfulness due to aging and the development of dementia. People with MCI have mild problems with thinking and memory that do not interfere with daily activities. They often know about their forgetfulness. Not everyone with MCI develops dementia. Symptoms of MCI include: Difficulty doing more than one task at a time Difficulty solving problems or making decisions Forgetting recent events or conversations Taking longer to do more difficult mental activities Early symptoms of dementia can include: Difficulty with tasks that take some thought, but that used to come easily, such as balancing a checkbook, playing games (such as bridge), and learning new information or routines Getting lost on familiar routes Language problems, such as trouble with the names of familiar objects Losing interest in things previously enjoyed, flat mood Misplacing items Personality changes and loss of social skills, which can lead to inappropriate behaviors As dementia becomes worse, symptoms are more obvious and interfere with the ability to take care of oneself. Symptoms may include: Change in sleep patterns, often waking up at night Difficulty with basic tasks, such as preparing meals, choosing proper clothing, or driving Forgetting details about current events Forgetting events in one's own life history, losing self-awareness Having hallucinations , arguments, striking out, and violent behavior Having delusions, depression, and agitation More difficulty reading or writing Poor judgment and loss of ability to recognize danger Using the wrong word, not pronouncing words correctly, speaking in confusing sentences Withdrawing from social contact People with severe dementia can no longer: Perform basic activities of daily living, such as eating, dressing, and bathing Recognize family members Understand language Other symptoms that may occur with dementia: Problems controlling bowel movements or urine Swallowing problems. A skilled health care provider can often diagnose dementia using the following: Complete physical exam, including nervous system exam Asking about the person's medical history and symptoms Mental function tests (mental status examination) Other tests may be ordered to find out if other problems may be causing dementia or making it worse. These conditions include: Anemia Brain tumor Long-term (chronic) infection Intoxication from medicines Severe depression Thyroid disease Vitamin deficiency The following tests and procedures may be done: B12 level Blood ammonia levels Blood chemistry ( chem-20 ) Blood gas analysis Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis Drug or alcohol levels ( toxicology screen ) Electroencephalograph (EEG) Head CT Mental status test MRI of head Thyroid function tests , including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) Thyroid stimulating hormone level Urinalysis. Treatment depends on the condition causing the dementia. Some people may need to stay in the hospital for a short time. Sometimes, dementia medicine can make a person's confusion worse. Stopping or changing these medicines is part of the treatment. Certain mental exercises can help with dementia. Treating conditions that can lead to confusion often greatly improve mental function. Such conditions include: Anemia Congestive heart failure Decreased blood oxygen ( hypoxia ) Depression Heart failure Infections Nutritional disorders Thyroid disorders Medicines may be used to: Slow the rate at which symptoms get worse, though improvement with these drugs may be small Control problems with behavior, such as loss of judgment or confusion Someone with dementia will need support in the home as the disease gets worse. Family members or other caregivers can assist by helping the person cope with memory loss and behavior and sleep problems. It is important to make sure the homes of people who have dementia are safe for them. People with MCI do not always develop dementia. When dementia does occur, it usually gets worse over time. Dementia often decreases quality of life and lifespan. Families will likely need to plan for their loved one's future care. Call your provider if: Dementia develops or a sudden change in mental status occurs The condition of a person with dementia gets worse You are unable to care for a person with dementia at home. Most causes of dementia are not preventable. The risk of vascular dementia may be reduced by preventing strokes through: Eating healthy foods Exercising Quitting smoking Controlling high blood pressure Managing diabetes. Chronic brain syndrome; Lewy body dementia; DLB; Vascular dementia; Mild cognitive impairment; MCI.

Encyclopedia Entry for Dengue : Dengue - Break Bone fever- dengue fever - dengue virus (Flavivirus) Encyclopedia Entry for Dengue : Dengue fever. Dengue fever is caused by 1 of 4 different but related viruses. It is spread by the bite of mosquitoes, most commonly the mosquito Aedes aegypti , which is found in tropic and subtropic regions. This area includes parts of: Indonesian archipelago into northeastern Australia South and Central America Southeast Asia Sub-Saharan Africa Some parts of the Caribbean (including Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands) Dengue fever is rare in the US mainland. Dengue fever should not be confused with dengue hemorrhagic fever, which is a separate disease caused by the same type of virus, but has much more severe symptoms. Dengue fever begins with a sudden high fever, often as high as 105 F (40.5 C), 4 to 7 days after the infection. A flat, red rash may appear over most of the body 2 to 5 days after the fever starts. A second rash, which looks like the measles , appears later in the disease. Infected people may have increased skin sensitivity and are very uncomfortable. Other symptoms include: Fatigue Headache (especially behind the eyes) Joint aches (often severe) Muscle aches (often severe) Nausea and vomiting Swollen lymph nodes Cough Sore throat Nasal stuffiness. Tests that may be done to diagnose this condition include: Antibody titer for dengue virus types Complete blood count ( CBC ) Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test for dengue virus types Liver function tests. There is no specific treatment for dengue fever. Fluids are given if there are signs of dehydration. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is used to treat a high fever. Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve). They may increase bleeding problems. The condition generally lasts a week or more. Although uncomfortable, dengue fever is not deadly. People with the condition should fully recover. Untreated, dengue fever may cause the following health problems: Febrile convulsions Severe dehydration. Call your health care provider if you have traveled in an area where dengue fever is known to occur and you have symptoms of the disease. Clothing, mosquito repellent, and netting can help reduce the risk for mosquito bites that can spread dengue fever and other infections.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TEETH Healthy teeth are clean and have no cavities. Healthy gums are pink and firm. To maintain healthy teeth and gums, follow these steps: Floss at least once per day. It is best to floss before brushing. Flossing removes plaque from between the teeth and on the gums. Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Brush 2 minutes each time. Use fluoride toothpaste. The fluoride helps strengthen tooth enamel and helps prevent tooth decay. Replace your toothbrush every 3 to 4 months or sooner if needed. A worn-out toothbrush will not clean your teeth as well. Eat a healthy diet. You are less likely to get gum disease if you eat healthy foods. Avoid sweets and sweetened drinks. Eating and drinking a lot of sweets increases your risk of cavities. If you do eat or drink sweets, brush your teeth soon after. DO NOT smoke. Smokers have more teeth and gum problems than non-smokers. Keep dentures, retainers, and other appliances clean. This includes brushing them regularly. You may also need to soak them in a cleansing solution. Schedule regular checkups with your dentist. Many dentists recommend having the teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months. Regular teeth cleaning by a dentist removes plaque that may develop, even with careful brushing and flossing. This is very important for getting at areas that are hard to reach on your own. Professional cleaning includes scaling and polishing. This procedure uses instruments to loosen and remove deposits from the teeth. Routine exams may include dental x-rays. Your dentist can catch problems early, so they do not become more serious and expensive to fix. Ask your dentist: What kind of toothbrush you should use, and how to brush your teeth well. Ask if an electric tooth brush is right for you. Electric tooth brushes have been shown to clean teeth better than manual toothbrushes. They often also have a timer to let you know when you have reached the 2 minute mark. How to properly floss your teeth. Overly vigorous or improper flossing may injure the gums. Whether you should use any special appliances or tools, such as water irrigation. This may sometimes help supplement (but not replace) brushing and flossing. Whether you could benefit from particular toothpastes or mouth rinses. In some cases, over-the-counter pastes and rinses may be doing you more harm than good, depending on your condition. WHEN TO CALL THE DENTIST Call your dentist if you have symptoms of a cavity that include: Pain in the tooth that occurs for no reason or is caused by food, beverages, brushing or flossing Sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks Get early treatment for gum disease. Call your dentist if you have symptoms of gum disease that include: Red or swollen gums Bleeding in the gums when you brush your teeth Bad breath Loose teeth Drifting teeth.

Infections of the oral cavity, neck, and head. Encyclopedia Entry for Dental : Dental care - child. Your child must have healthy teeth and gums for overall good health. Injured, diseased, or poorly developed teeth can result in: Poor nutrition Painful and dangerous infections Problems with speech development Problems with facial and jaw bone development Poor self-image Bad bite CARING FOR AN INFANT'S TEETH Even though newborns and infants do not have teeth, it is important to take care of their mouth and gums. Follow these tips: Use a damp washcloth to wipe your infant's gums after each meal. DO NOT put your infant or young child to bed with a bottle of milk, juice, or sugar water. Use only water for bedtime bottles. Begin using a soft toothbrush instead of a washcloth to clean your child's teeth as soon as their first tooth shows (usually between 5 and 8 months of age). Ask your child's health care provider if your infant needs to take oral fluoride. THE FIRST TRIP TO THE DENTIST Your child's first visit to the dentist should be between the time the first tooth appears and the time when all the primary teeth are visible (before 2 1/2 years). Many dentists recommend a 'trial' visit. This can help your child get used to the sights, sounds, smells, and feel of the office before their actual exam. Children who are used to having their gums wiped and teeth brushed every day will be more comfortable going to the dentist. CARING FOR A CHILD'S TEETH Brush your child's teeth and gums at least twice each day and especially before bed. Let children brush on their own to learn the habit of brushing, but you should do the real brushing for them. Take your child to a dentist every 6 months. Let the dentist know if your child thumb sucks or breathes through the mouth. Teach your child how to play safe and what to do if a tooth is broken or knocked out. If you act quickly, you can often save the tooth. When your child has teeth, they should begin flossing each evening before going to bed. Your child may need orthodontic treatment to prevent long-term problems. Teach children to brush Teach children to brush Infant dental care Infant dental care. Hughes CV, Dean JA. Mechanical and chemotherapeutic home oral hygiene. Encyclopedia Entry for Dental : Dental cavities. Tooth decay is a common disorder, second only to the common cold. It most often occurs in children and young adults, but it can affect anyone. Tooth decay is a common cause of tooth loss in younger people. Bacteria are normally found in your mouth. These bacteria change foods, especially sugar and starch, into acids. Bacteria, acid, food pieces, and saliva combine in the mouth to form a sticky substance called plaque. Plaque sticks to the teeth. It is most common on the back molars, just above the gum line on all teeth, and at the edges of fillings. Plaque that is not removed from the teeth turns into a substance called tartar, or calculus. Plaque and tartar irritate the gums, resulting in gingivitis and periodontitis. Plaque begins to build up on teeth within 20 minutes after eating. If it is not removed, it will harden and turn into tartar (calculus). The acids in plaque damage the enamel covering your teeth. It also creates holes in the tooth called cavities. Cavities usually do not hurt, unless they grow very large and affect nerves or cause a tooth fracture. An untreated cavity can lead to an infection in the tooth called a tooth abscess. Untreated tooth decay also destroys the inside of the tooth (pulp). This requires more extensive treatment, or possibly removal of the tooth. Carbohydrates (sugars and starches) increase the risk of tooth decay. Sticky foods are more harmful than non-sticky foods because they remain on the teeth. Frequent snacking increases the time that acids are in contact with the surface of the tooth. There may be no symptoms. If symptoms occur, they may include: Tooth pain or achy feeling, particularly after sweet or hot or cold foods and drinks Visible pits or holes in the teeth. Most cavities are discovered in the early stages during routine dental checkups. A dental exam may show that the surface of the tooth is soft. Dental x-rays may show some cavities before they can be seen just by just looking at the teeth. Treatment can help prevent tooth damage from leading to cavities. Treatment may involve: Fillings Crowns Root canals Dentists fill teeth by removing the decayed tooth material with a drill and replacing it with a material such as composite resin, glass ionomer, or amalgam. Composite resin more closely match the natural tooth appearance, and are preferred for front teeth. There is a trend to use high strength composite resin in the back teeth as well. Crowns or 'caps' are used if tooth decay is extensive and there is limited tooth structure, which may cause weakened teeth. Large fillings and weak teeth increase the risk of the tooth breaking. The decayed or weakened area is removed and repaired. A crown is fitted over the remainder of the tooth. Crowns are often made of gold, porcelain, or porcelain attached to metal. A root canal is recommended if the nerve in a tooth dies from decay or injury. The center of the tooth, including the nerve and blood vessel tissue (pulp), is removed along with decayed portions of the tooth. The roots are filled with a sealing material. The tooth is filled, and a crown is needed in most cases. Treatment often saves the tooth. Treatment is less painful and less expensive if it is done early. You may need numbing medicine and prescription pain medicines to relieve pain during or after dental work. Nitrous oxide with local anesthetic or other medicines may be an option if you are afraid of dental treatments. Dental cavities can lead to: Discomfort or pain Fractured tooth Inability to bite down on tooth Tooth abscess Tooth sensitivity Infection of the bone Bone loss. Call your dentist if you have any tooth pain or discomfort. See your dentist for a routine cleaning and exam if you have not had one in the last 6 months. Oral hygiene is necessary to prevent cavities. This consists of regular professional cleaning (every 6 months), brushing at least twice a day, and flossing at least daily. X-rays may be taken yearly to detect possible cavity development in high-risk areas of the mouth. It is best to eat chewy, sticky foods (such as dried fruit or candy) as part of a meal rather than alone as a snack. If possible, brush your teeth or rinse your mouth with water after eating these foods. Limit snacking, since it creates a constant supply of acid in your mouth. Avoid constant sipping of sugary drinks or frequent sucking on candy and mints. Dental sealants can prevent some cavities. Sealants are thin plastic-like coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of the molars. This coating prevents the buildup of plaque in the deep grooves on these surfaces. Sealants are often applied on the teeth of children, shortly after their molars come in. Older people may also benefit from tooth sealants. Fluoride is often recommended to protect against tooth decay. People who get fluoride in their drinking water or by taking fluoride supplements have less tooth decay. Topical fluoride is also recommended to protect the surface of the teeth. This may include a fluoride toothpaste or mouthwash. Many dentists include application of topical fluoride solutions (applied to a localized area of the teeth) as part of routine visits. Caries; Tooth decay; Cavities - tooth.

Encyclopedia Entry for Dental : Dental crowns. Getting a dental crown usually takes two dental visits. At the first visit, the dentist will: Numb the neighboring teeth and gum area around the tooth that is getting the crown so you do not feel anything. Remove any old and failing restorations or decay from the tooth. File down your tooth to prepare it for a crown. Fill any cavities. Take an impression of your tooth to send to the dental lab where they make the permanent crown. Some dentists can make a crown in their office. Make and fit your tooth with a temporary crown. At the second visit, the dentist will: Remove the temporary crown. Fit your permanent crown. Your dentist may take an x-ray to make sure the crown fits well. Cement the crown in place. A crown can be used to: Attach a bridge, which fills a gap created by missing teeth Repair a weak tooth and keep it from breaking Support and cover a tooth Replace a misshapen tooth or dental implant Correct a misaligned tooth Talk to your dentist if you need a crown. You may need a crown because you have a: Large cavity with too little of the natural tooth left to hold a filling Chipped or broken tooth Worn down or cracked tooth from grinding your teeth Discolored or stained tooth Badly shaped tooth that does not match your other teeth. Several problems can occur with a crown: Your tooth under the crown can still get a cavity: To prevent cavities, be sure to brush your teeth twice a day and floss once a day. The crown could fall off: This can happen if the core of the tooth that holds the crown in place is too weak. You may need a root canal to save the tooth. Or, you may need to have the tooth pulled and replaced with a dental implant. Your crown could chip or crack: If you grind your teeth or clench your jaw, you may need to wear a night mouth guard to protect your crown when you sleep. The nerve of your tooth could become extra sensitive to cold and hot temperatures: It may be painful. In this case, you may need a root canal. There are several types of crowns, and each has pros and cons. Talk to your dentist about the type of crown that works best for you. The different types of crowns include: Stainless steel crowns: Are pre-made Work well as temporary crowns, especially for young children. The crown falls off when the child loses the baby tooth. Metal crowns: Hold up to chewing and teeth grinding Rarely chip Last the longest Do not look natural Resin crowns: Cost less than other crowns Wear down more quickly and may need to be replaced sooner than other crowns Are weaker and prone to cracking Ceramic or porcelain crowns: Wear down opposing teeth more than metal crowns Match the color of other teeth May be a good choice if you have a metal allergy Porcelain fused to metal crowns: Are made from porcelain covering a metal crown Metal makes the crown stronger Porcelain part is more prone to fracture than crowns made of all porcelain. While you have the temporary crown in place, you may need to: Slide your floss out, rather than lifting it up, which can pull the crown off the tooth. Avoid sticky foods, such as gummy bears, caramels, bagels, nutrition bars, and gum. Try to chew of the other side of your mouth. Call your dentist if you: Have swelling that is getting worse Feel that your bite is not right Lose your temporary crown Feel as if your tooth is out of place Once the permanent crown is in place: If your tooth still has its nerve, you may have some sensitivity to heat or cold. This should go away over time. Expect that it will take a few days to get used to the new crown in your mouth. Take care of your crown the same way you take care of your normal teeth. If you have a porcelain crown, you may want to avoid chewing on hard candy or ice to avoid chipping your crown. When you have a crown, you should be more comfortable chewing, and it should look good. Most crowns can last at least 5 years and as long at 15 to 20 years. Dental caps; Porcelain crowns; Lab-fabricated restoration. Academy of General Dentistry. What are crowns? Updated January 2012.

Porcelain-full coverage and partial coverage restorations. Encyclopedia Entry for Dental : Dental plaque identification at home. There are two ways to perform this test. One method uses special tablets that contain a red dye that stains the plaque. You chew 1 tablet thoroughly, moving the mixture of saliva and dye over your teeth and gums for about 30 seconds. Then rinse your mouth with water and examine your teeth. Any red-stained areas are plaque. A small dental mirror may help you check all areas. The second method uses a plaque light. You swirl a special fluorescent solution around your mouth. Then rinse your mouth gently with water. Examine your teeth and gums while shining an ultraviolet plaque light into your mouth. The light will make any plaque look bright yellow-orange. The advantage of this method is that it leaves no red stains in your mouth. In the office, dentists are often able to detect plaque by doing a thorough exam with dental tools. Brush and floss your teeth thoroughly. Your mouth may feel slightly dried out after using the dye. The test helps identify missed plaque. It can encourage you to improve your brushing and flossing so that you remove more plaque from your teeth. Plaque that remains on your teeth can cause tooth decay or make your gums bleed easily and become red or swollen. No plaque or food debris will be seen on your teeth. The tablets will stain areas of plaque dark red. The plaque light solution will color the plaque a bright orange-yellow. The colored areas show where brushing and flossing was not sufficient. These areas need to be brushed again to get rid of the stained plaque. There are no risks. The tablets may cause a temporary pink coloring of your lips and cheeks. They may color your mouth and tongue red. Dentists suggest using them at night so that the color will be gone by morning. Dental plaque stain Dental plaque stain. Hughes CV, Dean JA. Mechanical and chemotherapeutic home oral hygiene. Encyclopedia Entry for Dental : Dental sealants. The grooves on the top of molars and premolars are deep and hard to clean with a toothbrush. Bacteria can build up in the grooves and cause cavities. Dental sealants can help: Keep food, acids, and plaque from sitting in the grooves of the molars and premolars Prevent decay and cavities Save time, money, and the discomfort of getting a filling Children are most at risk for cavities on molars. Sealants can help protect permanent molars. Permanent molars come in when children are about 6 years old and then again when they are 12 years old. Getting sealants soon after the molars have come in will help protect them from cavities. Adults who do not have cavities or decay on their molars can also get sealants. Sealants last about 5 to 10 years. Your dentist should check them at each visit in case a sealant needs to be replaced. Your dentist applies sealants on the molars in a few quick steps. There is no drilling or scraping of the molars. Your dentist will: Clean the tops of the molars and premolars. Put a conditioning acid gel on the top of the molar for a few seconds. Rinse and dry the tooth surface. Paint the sealant into the grooves of the tooth. Shine a light on the sealant to help it dry and harden. This takes about 10 to 30 seconds. Ask your dental office about the cost of dental sealants. The cost of dental sealants is usually priced per tooth. Check with your insurance plan to see if the cost of sealants is covered. Many plans cover sealants. Some plans have limits on coverage. For example, sealants may be covered only up to a certain age. You should call the dentist if you: Feel that your bite is not right Lose your sealant. Pit and fissure sealants. American Dental Association. Dental sealants. Updated October 19, 2016.

Some of them are: Bitewing. Shows the crown portions of the top and bottom teeth together when the person bites on a biting tab. Periapical. Shows 1 or 2 complete teeth from crown to root. Palatal (also called occlusal). Captures all the upper or lower teeth in one shot while the film rests on the biting surface of the teeth. Panoramic. Requires a special machine that rotates around the head. The x-ray captures all of the jaws and teeth in one shot. It is used to plan treatment for dental implants, check for impacted wisdom teeth, and detect jaw problems. A panoramic x-ray is not the best method for detecting cavities, unless the decay is very advanced and deep. Cephalometric. Presents the side view of the face and represents relationship of the jaw to each other as well as to the rest of the structures. It is helpful to diagnose any airway problems. Many dentists are also taking x-rays using digital technology. These images run through a computer. The amount of radiation given off during the procedure is less than traditional methods. Other types of dental x-rays can create a 3-D picture of the jaw. Cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) may be used before dental surgery, such as when several implants are being placed. There is no special preparation. You need to remove any metal objects in the area of the x-ray exposure. A lead apron may be placed over your body. Tell your dentist if you might be pregnant. The x-ray itself causes no discomfort. Biting on the piece of film makes some people gag. Slow, deep breathing through the nose usually relieves this feeling. Both CBCT and cephalometric x-ray do not require any biting pieces. Dental x-rays help diagnose disease and injury of the teeth and gums as well as help planning the appropriate treatment. Normal x-rays show a normal number, structure, and position of the teeth and jaw bones. There are no cavities or other problems. Dental x-rays may be used to identify the following: The number, size, and position of teeth Partially or fully impacted teeth The presence and severity of tooth decay (called cavities or dental caries) Bone damage (such as from gum disease called periodontitis ) Abscessed teeth Fractured jaw Problems in the way the upper and lower teeth fit together ( malocclusion ) Other abnormalities of the teeth and jaw bones. There is very low radiation exposure from dental x-rays. However, no one should receive more radiation than necessary. A lead apron can be used to cover the body and reduce radiation exposure. Pregnant women should not have x-rays taken unless necessary. Dental x-rays can reveal dental cavities before they are clinically visible, even to the dentist. Many dentists will take yearly bitewings to look for early development of cavities in between the teeth.

Encyclopedia Entry for Dermatitis : Dermatitis herpetiformis. DH usually begins in people age 20 and older. Children can sometimes be affected. It is seen in both men and women. The exact cause is unknown. It is an autoimmune disorder. There is a strong link between DH and celiac disease. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation in the small intestine from eating gluten. People with DH also have a sensitivity to gluten, which causes the skin rash. About 25% of people with celiac disease also have DH. Symptoms include: Extremely itchy bumps or blisters, most often on the elbows, knees, back, and buttocks. Rashes that are usually the same size and shape on both sides. The rash can look like eczema. Scratch marks and skin erosions instead of blisters in some people. Most people with DH have damage to their intestines from eating gluten. But only some have intestinal symptoms. In most cases, a skin biopsy and direct immunofluorescence test of the skin are performed. The health care provider may also recommend a biopsy of the intestines. Blood tests may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis. An antibiotic called dapsone is very effective. A strict gluten-free diet will also be recommended to help control the disease. Sticking to this diet may eliminate the need for medicines and prevent later complications. Drugs that supress the immune system may be used, but are less effective. The disease may be well-controlled with treatment. Without treatment, there may be a significant risk of intestinal cancer. Complications may include: Autoimmune thyroid disease Develop certain cancers, especially lymphomas of the intestines Side effects of the drugs used to treat DH. Call your provider if you have a rash that continues despite treatment. There is no known prevention of this disease. People with this condition may be able to prevent complications by avoiding foods that contain gluten. Duhring disease; DH.

Encyclopedia Entry for Dermatomyositis : Dermatomyositis. The cause of dermatomyositis is unknown. Experts think it may be due to a viral infection of the muscles or a problem with the body's immune system. It may also occur in people who have cancer in the abdomen, lung, or other parts of the body. Anyone can develop this condition. It most often occurs in children age 5 to 15 and adults age 40 to 60. It affects women more often than men. Polymyositis is a similar condition, but the symptoms do not include a skin rash. Symptoms may include: Muscle weakness , stiffness, or soreness Problems swallowing Purple color to the upper eyelids Purple-red skin rash Shortness of breath The muscle weakness may come on suddenly or develop slowly over weeks or months. You may have trouble raising your arms over your head, getting up from a sitting position, and climbing stairs. The rash may appear on your face, knuckles, neck, shoulders, upper chest, and back. The health care provider will do a physical exam. Tests may include: Bloods test to check levels of muscle enzymes called creatine phosphokinase and aldolase Blood tests for autoimmune diseases ECG Electromyography (EMG) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Muscle biopsy Skin biopsy Other screening tests for cancer. The disease is treated with anti-inflammatory medicines called corticosteroids. Medicines to suppress the immune system may be used to replace the corticosteroids. These may include azathioprine, methotrexate or mycophenolate. If the condition does not respond to these medicines, other drugs, such as biologics may be tried. Rituximab appears to be the most promising. When your muscles get stronger, your provider may tell you to slowly cut back on your doses. Many people with this condition must take a medicine called prednisone for the rest of their lives. If a cancer is causing the condition, the muscle weakness and rash may get better when the tumor is removed. Symptoms may go away completely in some people, such as children. The condition may be fatal in adults due to: Severe muscle weakness Malnutrition Pneumonia Lung failure The major causes of death with this condition are cancer and lung disease. Complications may include: Lung disease Acute renal failure Cancer ( malignancy ) Inflammation of the heart Joint pain.

| Detox Lead | XTRA | 4202.3,19007.15 | Lead is a chemical element with the symbol Pb (from the Latin plumbum) and atomic number 82. It is a heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. When freshly cut, lead is silvery with a hint of blue; it tarnishes to a dull gray color when exposed to air. Lead has the highest atomic number of any stable element and three of its isotopes are endpoints of major nuclear decay chains of heavier elements. In the late 19th century, lead's toxicity was recognized, and its use has since been phased out of many applications. However, many countries still allow the sale of products that expose humans to lead, including some types of paints and bullets. Lead is a neurotoxin that accumulates in soft tissues and bones; it damages the nervous system and interferes with the function of biological enzymes, causing neurological disorders, such as brain damage and behavioral problems. |

| Detox Pesticide | XTRA | 1,6,26,73 | Pesticides are substances that are meant to control pests, including weeds. The term pesticide includes all of the following: herbicide, insecticides (which may include insect growth regulators, termiticides, etc.) nematicide, molluscicide, piscicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, insect repellent, animal repellent, antimicrobial, and fungicide. The most common of these are herbicides which account for approximately 80% of all pesticide use. Most pesticides are intended to serve as plant protection products (also known as crop protection products), which in general, protect plants from weeds, fungi, or insects. In general, a pesticide is a chemical or biological agent (such as a virus, bacterium, or fungus) that deters, incapacitates, kills, or otherwise discourages pests. Target pests can include insects, plant pathogens, weeds, molluscs, birds, mammals, fish, nematodes (roundworms), and microbes that destroy property, cause nuisance, or spread disease, or are disease vectors. Along with these benefits, pesticides also have drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to humans and other species. |

| Detox Respiratory | XTRA | 6.29,9.18,9.19,20.5 | The respiratory system (also respiratory apparatus, ventilatory system) is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history. In land animals the respiratory surface is internalized as linings of the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in millions of small air sacs called alveoli in mammals and reptiles, but atria in birds. These microscopic air sacs have a very rich blood supply, thus bringing the air into close contact with the blood. These air sacs communicate with the external environment via a system of airways, or hollow tubes, of which the largest is the trachea, which branches in the middle of the chest into the two main bronchi. These enter the lungs where they branch into progressively narrower secondary and tertiary bronchi that branch into numerous smaller tubes, the bronchioles. In birds the bronchioles are termed parabronchi. It is the bronchioles, or parabronchi that generally open into the microscopic alveoli in mammals and atria in birds. Air has to be pumped from the environment into the alveoli or atria by the process of breathing which involves the muscles of respiration. Lung |

Encyclopedia Entry for Diabetes Insipidus : Diabetes insipidus - central. Diabetes insipidus (DI) is an uncommon condition in which the kidneys are unable to prevent the excretion of water. DI is a different disease than diabetes , though both share common symptoms excessive urination and thirst. Central diabetes insipidus is a form of DI that occurs when the body has a lower than normal amount of antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is also called vasopressin. ADH is produced in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then stored and released from the pituitary gland. This is a small gland at the base of the brain. ADH controls the amount of water excreted in urine. Without ADH, the kidneys do not work properly to keep enough water in the body. The result is a rapid loss of water from the body in the form of dilute urine. This results in the need to drink large amounts of water due to extreme thirst and to make up for excessive water loss in the urine (10 to 15 liters a day). The reduced level of ADH may be caused by damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland. This damage may be due to surgery, infection, inflammation, tumor , or injury to the brain. In rare cases, central diabetes insipidus is caused by a genetic problem. Symptoms of central diabetes insipidus include: Increased urine production Excessive thirst Confusion and changes in alertness due to dehydration and higher than normal sodium level in the body, if the person is unable to drink. The health care provider will ask about your medical history and symptoms. Tests that may be ordered include: Blood sodium and osmolarity Desmopressin (DDAVP) challenge MRI of the head Urinalysis Urine concentration Urine output. The cause of the underlying condition will be treated. Vasopressin (desmopressin, DDAVP) is given either as a nasal spray, tablets, or injections. This controls urine output and fluid balance and prevents dehydration. In mild cases, drinking more water may be all that is needed. If the body's thirst control is not working (for example, if the hypothalamus is damaged), a prescription for a certain amount of water intake may also be needed to ensure proper hydration. Outcome depends on the cause. If treated, central diabetes insipidus usually does not cause severe problems or result in early death. Not drinking enough fluids can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. When taking vasopressin and your body's thirst control is not normal, drinking more fluids than your body needs can cause dangerous electrolyte imbalance. Call your provider if you develop symptoms of central diabetes insipidus. If you have central diabetes insipidus, contact your provider if frequent urination or extreme thirst returns. Many of the cases may not be preventable. Prompt treatment of infections, tumors, and injuries may reduce risk. Central diabetes insipidus; Neurogenic diabetes insipidus. Endocrine glands Endocrine glands. Brimioulle S. Diabetes insipidus. Encyclopedia Entry for Diabetes Insipidus : Diabetes insipidus. During the day, your kidneys filter all your blood many times. Normally, most of the water is reabsorbed, and only a small amount of concentrated urine is excreted. DI occurs when the kidneys cannot concentrate the urine normally, and a large amount of dilute urine is excreted. The amount of water excreted in the urine is controlled by antidiuretic hormone (ADH). ADH is also called vasopressin. ADH is produced in a part of the brain called the hypothalamus. It is then stored and released from the pituitary gland. This is a small gland just below the base of the brain. DI caused by a lack of ADH is called central diabetes insipidus. When DI is caused by a failure of the kidneys to respond to ADH, the condition is called nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Nephrogenic means related to the kidney. Central DI can be caused by damage to the hypothalamus or pituitary gland as a result of: Genetic problems Head injury Infection Problem with the ADH-producing cells due to an autoimmune disease Loss of blood supply to the pituitary gland Surgery Tumors in or near the pituitary gland Nephrogenic DI involves a defect in the kidneys. As a result, the kidneys do not respond to ADH. Like central DI, nephrogenic DI is very rare. Nephrogenic DI may be caused by: Certain drugs, such as lithium Genetic problems High level of calcium in the body ( hypercalcemia ) Kidney disease, such as polycystic kidney disease. Symptoms of DI include: Excessive thirst that may be intense or uncontrollable, usually with the need to drink large amounts of water or craving for ice water Excessive urine volume Excessive urination, often needing to urinate every hour throughout the day and night. The health care provider will ask about your medical history and symptoms. Tests that may be ordered include: Blood sodium and osmolality Desmopressin (DDAVP) challenge MRI of the head Urinalysis Urine concentration and osmolality Urine output. The cause of the underlying condition will be treated when possible. Central DI may be controlled with vasopressin (desmopressin, DDAVP). You take vasopressin as an injection, a nasal spray, or tablets. If nephrogenic DI is caused by medicine, stopping the medicine may help restore normal kidney function. But after many years of use of some medicines, such as lithium, nephrogenic DI can be permanent. Hereditary nephrogenic DI and lithium-induced nephrogenic DI are treated by drinking enough fluids to match urine output. Medicines that lower urine output also need to be taken. Nephrogenic DI is treated with anti-inflammatory medicines and diuretics (water pills). Outcome depends on the underlying disorder. If treated, DI does not cause severe problems or result in early death. If your body's thirst control is normal and you are able to drink enough fluids, there are no significant effects on body fluid or salt balance. Not drinking enough fluids can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, which can be very dangerous. If DI is treated with vasopressin and your body's thirst control is not normal, drinking more fluids than your body needs can also cause dangerous electrolyte imbalance. Call your provider if you develop symptoms of DI. If you have DI, contact your provider if frequent urination or extreme thirst returns.

Your main focus is on keeping your blood sugar (glucose) level in your target range. To help manage your blood sugar , follow a meal plan that has: Food from all the food groups Fewer calories About the same amount of carbohydrates at each meal and snack Healthy fats Along with healthy eating, you can help keep your blood sugar in target range by maintaining a healthy weight. People with type 2 diabetes are often overweight or obese. Losing even 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms) can help you manage your diabetes better. Eating healthy foods and staying active (for example, 60 total minutes of walking or other activity per day) can help you meet and maintain your weight loss goal. HOW CARBOHYDRATES AFFECT BLOOD SUGAR Carbohydrates in food give your body energy. You need to eat carbohydrates to maintain your energy. But carbohydrates also raise your blood sugar higher and faster than other kinds of food. The main kinds of carbohydrates are starches, sugars, and fiber. Learn which foods have carbohydrates. This will help with meal planning so that you can keep your blood sugar in your target range. Not all carbohydrates can be broken down and absorbed by your body. Foods with more non-digestable carbohydrates, or fiber, are less likely to increase your blood sugar out of your goal range. These include foods such as beans and whole grains. MEAL PLANNING FOR CHILDREN WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES Meal plans should consider the amount of calories children need to grow. In general, three small meals and three snacks a day can help meet calorie needs. Many children with type 2 diabetes are overweight. The goal should be able to reach a healthy weight by eating healthy foods and getting more activity (60 minutes each day). Work with a registered dietitian to design a meal plan for your child. A registered dietitian is an expert in food and nutrition. The following tips can help your child stay on track: No food is off-limits. Knowing how different foods affect your child's blood sugar helps you and your child keep blood sugar in target range. Help your child learn how much food is a healthy amount. This is called portion control. Have your family gradually switch from drinking soda and other sugary drinks, such as sports drinks and juices, to plain water or low-fat milk. PLANNING MEALS Everyone has individual needs. Work with your doctor, registered dietitian, or diabetes educator to develop a meal plan that works for you. When shopping, read food labels to make better food choices. A good way to make sure you get all the nutrients you need during meals is to use the plate method. This is a visual food guide that helps you choose the best types and right amounts of food to eat. It encourages larger portions of non-starchy vegetables (half the plate) and moderate portions of protein (one quarter of the plate) and starch (one quarter of the plate). You can find more information about the plate method at the American Diabetes Association website: www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/planning-meals/create-your-plate/. EAT A VARIETY OF FOODS Eating a wide variety of foods helps you stay healthy. Try to include foods from all the food groups at each meal. VEGETABLES (2 to 3 cups or 450 to 550 grams a day) Choose fresh or frozen vegetables without added sauces, fats, or salt. Non-starchy vegetables include dark green and deep yellow vegetables, such as cucumber, spinach, broccoli, romaine lettuce, cabbage, chard, and bell peppers. Starchy vegetables include corn, green peas, lima beans, carrots, yams and taro. Note that potato should be considered a pure starch, like white bread or white rice, instead of a vegetable. FRUITS (1 to 2 cups or 240 to 320 grams a day) Choose fresh, frozen, canned (without added sugar or syrup), or unsweetened dried fruits. Try apples, bananas, berries, cherries, fruit cocktail, grapes, melon, oranges, peaches, pears, papaya, pineapple, and raisins. Drink juices that are 100% fruit with no added sweeteners or syrups. GRAINS (3 to 4 ounces or 85 to 115 grams a day) There are 2 types of grains: Whole grains are unprocessed and have the entire grain kernel. Examples are whole-wheat flour, oatmeal, whole cornmeal, amaranth, barley, brown and wild rice, buckwheat, and quinoa. Refined grains have been processed (milled) to remove the bran and germ. Examples are white flour, de-germed cornmeal, white bread, and white rice. Grains have starch, a type of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates raise your blood sugar level. For healthy eating, make sure half of the grains you eat each day are whole grains. Whole grains have lots of fiber. Fiber in the diet keeps your blood sugar level from rising too fast. PROTEIN FOODS (5 to 6 ounces or 140 to 184 grams a day) Protein foods include meat, poultry, seafood, eggs, beans and peas, nuts, seeds, and processed soy foods. Eat fish and poultry more often. Remove the skin from chicken and turkey. Select lean cuts of beef, veal, pork, or wild game. Trim all visible fat from meat. Bake, roast, broil, grill, or boil instead of frying. When frying proteins, use healthy oils such as olive oil. DAIRY (3 cups or 245 grams a day) Choose low-fat dairy products. Be aware that milk, yogurt, and other dairy foods have natural sugar, even when they do not contain added sugar. Take this into account when planning meals to stay in your blood sugar target range. Some non-fat dairy products have a lot of added sugar. Be sure to read the label. OILS/FATS (no more than 7 teaspoons or 35 milliliters a day) Oils are not considered a food group. But they have nutrients that help your body stay healthy. Oils are different from fats in that oils remain liquid at room temperature. Fats remain solid at room temperature. Limit your intake of fatty foods, especially those high in saturated fat, such as hamburgers, deep-fried foods, bacon, and butter. Instead, choose foods that are high in polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats. These include fish, nuts, and vegetable oils. Oils can raise your blood sugar, but not as fast as starch. Oils are also high in calories. Try to use no more than the recommended daily limit of 7 teaspoons (35 milliliters). WHAT ABOUT ALCOHOL AND SWEETS? If you choose to drink alcohol, limit the amount and have it with a meal. Check with your health care provider about how alcohol will affect your blood sugar and to determine a safe amount for you. Sweets are high in fat and sugar. Keep portion sizes small. Here are tips to help avoid eating too many sweets: Ask for extra spoons and forks and split your dessert with others. Eat sweets that are sugar-free. Always ask for the smallest serving size or children's size. YOUR DIABETES CARE TEAM IS THERE TO HELP YOU In the beginning, meal planning may be overwhelming. But it will become easier as your knowledge grows about foods and their effects on your blood sugar. If you're having problems with meal planning, talk with your diabetes care team. They are there to help you. Type 2 diabetes diet; Diet - diabetes - type 2.

Encyclopedia Entry for Diabetic Ketoacidosis : Diabetic ketoacidosis. DKA happens when the signal from insulin in the body is so low that: Glucose (blood sugar) can't go into cells to be used as a fuel source. The liver makes a huge amount of blood sugar. Fat is broken down too rapidly for the body to process. The fat is broken down by the liver into a fuel called ketones. Ketones are normally produced when the body breaks down fat after a long time between meals. When ketones are produced too quickly and build up in the blood and urine, they can be toxic by making the blood acidic. This condition is known as ketoacidosis. DKA is sometimes the first sign of type 1 diabetes in people who have not yet been diagnosed. It can also occur in someone who has already been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Infection, injury, a serious illness, missing doses of insulin shots, or surgery can lead to DKA in people with type 1 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes can also develop DKA, but it is less common and less severe. It is usually triggered by prolonged uncontrolled blood sugar, missing doses of medicines, or a severe illness or infection. Common symptoms of DKA can include: Decreased alertness Deep, rapid breathing Dry skin and mouth Flushed face Frequent urination or thirst that lasts for a day or more Fruity-smelling breath Headache Muscle stiffness or aches Nausea and vomiting Stomach pain. Ketone testing may be used in type 1 diabetes to screen for early ketoacidosis. The ketone test is usually done using a urine sample or a blood sample. Ketone testing is usually done when DKA is suspected: Most often, urine testing is done first. If the urine is positive for ketones, most often beta-hydroxybutyrate is measured in the blood. This is the most common ketone measured. The other main ketone is acetoacetate. Other tests for ketoacidosis include: Arterial blood gas Basic metabolic panel, (a group of blood tests that measure your sodium and potassium levels, kidney function, and other chemicals and functions, including the anion gap) Blood glucose test Blood pressure measurement Osmolality blood test. The goal of treatment is to correct the high blood sugar level with insulin. Another goal is to replace fluids lost through urination, loss of appetite, and vomiting if you have these symptoms. If you have diabetes, it is likely your health care provider told you how to spot the warning signs of DKA. If you think you have DKA, test for ketones using urine strips. Some glucose meters can also measure blood ketones. If ketones are present, call your provider right away. DO NOT delay. Follow any instructions you are given. It is likely that you will need to go to the hospital. There, you will receive insulin, fluids, and other treatment for DKA. Then providers will also search for and treat the cause of DKA, such as an infection. Most people respond to treatment within 24 hours. Sometimes, it takes longer to recover. If DKA is not treated, it can lead to severe illness or death. Health problems that may result from DKA include any of the following: Fluid buildup in the brain (cerebral edema) Heart stops working ( cardiac arrest ) Kidney failure. DKA is often a medical emergency. Call your provider if you notice symptoms of DKA. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you or a family member with diabetes has any of the following: Decreased consciousness Fruity breath Nausea and vomiting Trouble breathing. If you have diabetes, learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of DKA. Know when to test for ketones, such as when you are sick. If you use an insulin pump, check often to see that insulin is flowing through the tubing. Make sure the tube is not blocked, kinked or disconnected from the pump.

Ketone testing is usually done when DKA is suspected: Most often, urine testing is done first. If the urine is positive for ketones, most often beta-hydroxybutyrate is measured in the blood. This is the most common ketone measured. The other main ketone is acetoacetate. Other tests for ketoacidosis include: Arterial blood gas Basic metabolic panel, (a group of blood tests that measure your sodium and potassium levels, kidney function, and other chemicals and functions, including the anion gap) Blood glucose test Blood pressure measurement Osmolality blood test. The goal of treatment is to correct the high blood sugar level with insulin. Another goal is to replace fluids lost through urination, loss of appetite, and vomiting if you have these symptoms. If you have diabetes, it is likely your health care provider told you how to spot the warning signs of DKA. If you think you have DKA, test for ketones using urine strips. Some glucose meters can also measure blood ketones. If ketones are present, call your provider right away. DO NOT delay. Follow any instructions you are given. It is likely that you will need to go to the hospital. There, you will receive insulin, fluids, and other treatment for DKA. Then providers will also search for and treat the cause of DKA, such as an infection. Most people respond to treatment within 24 hours. Sometimes, it takes longer to recover. If DKA is not treated, it can lead to severe illness or death. Health problems that may result from DKA include any of the following: Fluid buildup in the brain (cerebral edema) Heart stops working ( cardiac arrest ) Kidney failure. DKA is often a medical emergency. Call your provider if you notice symptoms of DKA. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if you or a family member with diabetes has any of the following: Decreased consciousness Fruity breath Nausea and vomiting Trouble breathing. If you have diabetes, learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of DKA. Know when to test for ketones, such as when you are sick. If you use an insulin pump, check often to see that insulin is flowing through the tubing. Make sure the tube is not blocked, kinked or disconnected from the pump.

Encyclopedia Entry for Diaphragmatic Hernia : Diaphragmatic hernia repair - congenital. Before this surgery, nearly all infants need a breathing device to improve their oxygen levels. The surgery is done while your child is under general anesthesia (asleep and not able to feel pain). The surgeon makes a cut (incision) in the belly under the upper ribs. This allows the organs in the area to be reached. The surgeon gently pulls these organs down into place through the opening in the diaphragm and into the abdominal cavity. The surgeon repairs the hole in the diaphragm. If the hole is small, it may be repaired with stitches. In most cases, a piece of plastic patch is used to cover the hole. The diaphragm is a muscle. It is important for breathing. It separates the chest cavity (where the heart and lungs are) from the belly area. In a child born with a diaphragmatic hernia, the diaphragm muscle is not completely formed. So, organs from the belly (stomach, spleen, liver, and intestines) may go up into the chest cavity where the lungs are. This prevents the lungs from growing normally. The lungs stay too small for babies to breathe on their own when they are born. A diaphragmatic hernia can be life threatening. Surgery to repair it must be done in the first few days or weeks of a child's life. Risks for this surgery include: Breathing problems , which may be severe Bleeding Collapsed lung Lung problems that do not go away Infection Reactions to medicines. Infants with a diaphragmatic hernia are admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). It may be days or weeks before the baby is stable enough for surgery. In the NICU, your baby will probably need a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator) before the surgery. This helps the baby breathe. If your child is very sick, a heart-lung bypass machine ( ECMO ) may be needed to do the work of the heart and lungs. Before surgery, your baby will have x-rays and regular blood tests to see how well the lungs are working. A light sensor (called a pulse oximeter) is taped to baby's skin to monitor the oxygen level in the blood. Your baby may be given medicines to control blood pressure and keep them comfortable. Your baby will have tubes placed: From the mouth or nose to the stomach to keep air out of the stomach In an artery to monitor blood pressure In a vein to deliver nutrients and medicines. Your baby will be on a breathing machine after the surgery and will stay in the hospital for several weeks. Once taken off the breathing machine, your baby may still need oxygen and some medicine for a while. Feedings will start after your baby's bowels start working. Feedings are usually given through a small, soft feeding tube from the mouth or nose into the stomach or small intestine until your baby can take milk by mouth. Most infants with diaphragmatic hernias have reflux when they eat. This means the food or acid in their stomach moves up into their esophagus, the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach. This can be uncomfortable for your baby. It also leads to frequent spitting up, vomiting, and pneumonia, which makes feedings more difficult once your baby is taking food by mouth. The nurses and feeding specialists will teach you ways to hold and feed your baby to prevent reflux. Some babies need to be on a feeding tube for a long time to get enough food to grow. The outcome of this surgery depends on how well your baby's lungs have developed. Some babies have other medical problems, especially with the heart, brain, muscles, and joints, which may affect how well the baby does. Often, the outlook is good for infants who have well-developed lung tissue and no other problems. Most babies who are born with a diaphragmatic hernia are very ill and will stay in the hospital for a long time. With advances in medicine, the outlook for these infants is improving. All babies who have had diaphragmatic hernia repairs will need to be watched closely to make sure the hole in their diaphragm does not open up again as they grow. Babies who had a large opening or defect in the diaphragm, or who had more problems with their lungs after birth, may have lung disease after they leave the hospital. They may need oxygen, medicines, and a feeding tube for months or years. Some babies will have problems crawling, walking, talking, and eating. They will need to see physical or occupational therapists to help them develop muscles and strength. Diaphragmatic hernia - surgery.

Respiratory tract disorders. Encyclopedia Entry for Diaphragmatic Hernia : Diaphragmatic hernia. A diaphragmatic hernia is a rare defect. It occurs while the baby is developing in the womb. Because the diaphragm is not fully developed, organs, such as the stomach, small intestine, spleen, part of the liver, and the kidney, may take up part of the chest cavity. CDH most often involves only one side of the diaphragm. It is more common on the left side. Often, the lung tissue and blood vessels in the area do not develop normally either. It is not clear if the diaphragmatic hernia causes the underdeveloped lung tissue and blood vessels, or the other way around. 40% of babies with this condition have other problems as well. Having a parent or sibling with the condition increases the risk. Severe breathing problems almost always develop shortly after the baby is born. This is due in part to poor movement of the diaphragm muscle and crowding of the lung tissue. Problems with breathing and oxygen levels are often due to underdeveloped lung tissue and blood vessels as well. Other symptoms include: Bluish colored skin due to lack of oxygen Rapid breathing (tachypnea) Fast heart rate (tachycardia). Fetal ultrasound may show abdominal organs in the chest cavity. The pregnant woman may have a large amount of amniotic fluid. An exam of the infant shows: Irregular chest movements Lack of breath sounds on side with the hernia Bowel sounds that are heard in the chest Abdomen that looks less protuberant than a normal newborn's and feels less full when touched A chest x-ray may show abdominal organs in the chest cavity. A diaphragmatic hernia repair is an emergency that requires surgery. Surgery is done to place the abdominal organs into the proper position and repair the opening in the diaphragm. The infant will need breathing support during the recovery period. Some infants are placed on a heart/lung bypass machine to help deliver enough oxygen to the body. If a diaphragmatic hernia is diagnosed early during pregnancy (before 24 to 28 weeks), fetal surgery may be an option in some situations. The outcome of surgery depends on how well the baby's lungs have developed. It also depends on whether there are any other congenital problems. Most often the outlook is good for infants who have a sufficient amount of working lung tissue and have no other problems. Medical advances have made it possible for over half of infants with this condition to survive. The babies survived will often have ongoing challenges with breathing, feeding, and growth. Complications may include: Lung infections Other congenital problems. Go to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911). A diaphragmatic hernia is a surgical emergency. There is no known prevention. Couples with a family history of this problem may want to seek genetic counseling. Hernia - diaphragmatic; Congenital hernia of the diaphragm (CDH).

Encyclopedia Entry for Diarrhea : Diarrhea - overview. In some people, diarrhea is mild and goes away in a few days. In other people, it may last longer. Diarrhea can make you feel weak and dehydrated. Diarrhea in babies and children can be serious. It needs to be treated differently than you would treat diarrhea in adults. Talk with your health care provider if your child has diarrhea. There can be a lot to know. Your provider can help you learn how to recognize and treat diarrhea in babies and in children. The most common cause of diarrhea is the stomach flu ( viral gastroenteritis ). This mild viral infection most often goes away on its own within a few days. Eating or drinking food or water that contains certain types of bacteria or parasites can also lead to diarrhea. This problem may be called food poisoning. Certain medicines may also cause diarrhea , including: Some antibiotics Chemotherapy drugs for cancer Laxatives containing magnesium Diarrhea may also be caused by medical disorders, such as: Celiac disease Inflammatory bowel diseases ( Crohn disease and ulcerative colitis ) Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) Lactose intolerance (which causes problems after drinking milk and eating other dairy products) Malabsorption syndromes Less common causes of diarrhea include: Carcinoid syndrome Disorders of the nerves that supply the intestines Removal of part of the stomach ( gastrectomy ) or small intestine Radiation therapy People who travel to developing countries can get diarrhea from unclean water or food that has not been handled safely. Plan ahead by learning the risks and treatment for traveler's diarrhea before your trip. Most times, you can treat diarrhea at home. You will need to learn: To drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration (when your body does not have the proper amount of water and fluids) Which foods you should or should not eat What to do if you are breastfeeding What danger signs to watch out for Avoid medicines for diarrhea that you can buy without a prescription, unless your provider tells you to use them. These drugs can make some infections worse. If you have a long-term form of diarrhea, such as diarrhea caused by irritable bowel syndrome, changes to your diet and lifestyle may help. Call your provider right away if you or your child shows signs of dehydration: Decreased urine (fewer wet diapers in infants) Dizziness or lightheadedness Dry mouth Sunken eyes Few tears when crying Call for an appointment with your provider if you have: Blood or pus in your stools Black stools Stomach pain that does not go away after a bowel movement Diarrhea with a fever above 101 F or 38.33 C (100.4 F or 38 C in children) Recently traveled to a foreign country and developed diarrhea Also call your provider if: The diarrhea gets worse or does not get better in 2 days for an infant or child, or 5 days for adults A child over 3 months old has been vomiting for more than 12 hours; in younger babies, call as soon as vomiting or diarrhea begins. Your provider will perform a physical exam and ask you questions about your medical history and symptoms. Lab tests may be done on your stools to find the cause of your diarrhea. This is also a good time to ask your provider any questions you have about diarrhea. Over-the-counter supplements that contain healthy bacteria may help prevent diarrhea caused by taking antibiotics. These are called probiotics. Yogurt with active or live cultures is also a good source of these healthy bacteria. The following healthy steps can help you prevent illnesses that cause diarrhea: Wash your hands often, particularly after going to the bathroom and before eating. Use alcohol-based hand gel frequently. Teach children to not put objects in their mouth. Take steps to avoid food poisoning. When traveling to underdeveloped areas, follow the steps below to avoid diarrhea: Drink only bottled water and DO NOT use ice, unless it is made from bottled or purified water. DO NOT eat uncooked vegetables or fruits that do not have peels. DO NOT eat raw shellfish or undercooked meat. DO NOT consume dairy products.

Encyclopedia Entry for Diarrhea : Diarrhea in infants. Diarrhea in babies usually does not last long. Most often, it is caused by a virus and goes away on its own. Your baby could also have diarrhea with: A change in your baby's diet or a change in the mother's diet if breastfeeding. Use of antibiotics by the baby, or use by the mother if breastfeeding. A bacterial infection. Your baby will need to take antibiotics to get better. A parasite infection. Your baby will need to take medicine to get better. Rare diseases such as cystic fibrosis. Infants and young children under age 3 can become dehydrated quickly and get really sick. Dehydration means that your baby does not have enough water or liquids. Watch your baby closely for signs of dehydration, which include: Dry eyes and little to no tears when crying Fewer wet diapers than usual Less active than usual, lethargic Irritable Dry mouth Dry skin that does not spring back to its usual shape after being pinched Sunken eyes Sunken fontanelle (the soft spot on top of the head). Make sure your baby gets plenty of liquids so she does not get dehydrated. Keep breastfeeding your baby if you are nursing. Breastfeeding helps prevent diarrhea, and your baby will recover quicker. If you are using formula, make it full strength unless your health care provider gives you different advice. If your baby still seems thirsty after or between feedings, talk to your provider about giving your baby Pedialyte or Infalyte. Your provider may recommend these extra liquids that contain electrolytes. Try giving your baby 1 ounce (2 tablespoons or 30 milliliters) of Pedialyte or Infalyte, every 30 to 60 minutes. Do not water down Pedialyte or Infalyte. Do not give sports drinks to young infants. Try giving your baby a Pedialyte popsicle. If your baby throws up, give them only a little bit of liquid at a time. Start with as little as 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of liquid every 10 to 15 minutes. Do not give your baby solid foods when she is vomiting. DO NOT give your baby ant-diarrhea medicine unless your provider says it is OK. If your baby was on solid foods before the diarrhea began, start with foods that are easy on the stomach, such as: Bananas Crackers Toast Pasta Cereal Do not give your baby food that makes diarrhea worse, such as: Apple juice Milk Fried foods Full-strength fruit juice. Your baby might get diaper rash because of the diarrhea. To prevent diaper rash: Change your baby's diaper frequently. Clean your baby's bottom with water. Cut down on using baby wipes while your baby has diarrhea. Let your baby's bottom air dry. Use a diaper cream. Wash your hands well to keep you and other people in your household from getting sick. Diarrhea caused by germs can spread easily. Call your provider if your baby is a newborn (under 3 months old) and has diarrhea. Also call if your child has signs of being dehydrated, including: Dry and sticky mouth No tears when crying No wet diaper for 6 hours Know the signs that your baby is not getting better, including: Fever and diarrhea that last for more than 2 to 3 days More than 8 stools in 8 hours Vomiting continues for more than 24 hours Diarrhea contains blood, mucus, or pus Your baby is much less active than normal (is not sitting up at all or looking around) Seems to have stomach pain.

See Corynebacterium Diphtheriae. Respiratory Encyclopedia Entry for Diphtheria : Diphtheria - Corynebacterium diphtheriae (G+ rod: non-sporulating: non-filamentous) Encyclopedia Entry for Diphtheria : Diphtheria. The bacteria that cause diphtheria spread through respiratory droplets (such as from a cough or sneeze) of an infected person or someone who carries the bacteria but has no symptoms. The bacteria most commonly infect your nose and throat. The throat infection causes a gray to black, tough, fiber-like covering, which can block your airways. In some cases, diphtheria infects your skin first and causes skin lesions. Once you are infected, the bacteria make dangerous substances called toxins. The toxins spread through your bloodstream to other organs, such as the heart and brain, and cause damage. Because of widespread vaccination (immunization) of children, diphtheria is now rare in many parts of the world. Risk factors for diphtheria include crowded environments, poor hygiene, and lack of immunization. Symptoms usually occur 1 to 7 days after the bacteria enter your body: Fever and chills Sore throat, hoarseness Painful swallowing Croup-like (barking) cough Drooling (suggests airway blockage is about to occur) Bluish coloration of the skin Bloody, watery drainage from nose Breathing problems, including difficulty breathing, fast breathing, high-pitched breathing sound (stridor) Skin sores (usually seen in tropical areas) Sometimes there are no symptoms. The health care provider will perform a physical exam and look inside your mouth. This may reveal a gray to black covering (pseudomembrane) in the throat, enlarged lymph glands , and swelling of the neck or vocal cords. Tests used may include: Gram stain or throat culture to identify the diphtheria bacteria Toxin assay (to detect the presence of the toxin made by the bacteria) Electrocardiogram ( ECG ). If the provider thinks you have diphtheria, treatment will likely be started right away, even before test results come back. Diphtheria antitoxin is given as a shot into a muscle or through an IV (intravenous line). The infection is then treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin and erythromycin. You may need to stay in the hospital while getting the antitoxin. Other treatments may include: Fluids by IV Oxygen Bed rest Heart monitoring Insertion of a breathing tube Correction of airway blockages People without symptoms who carry diphtheria should be treated with antibiotics. Diphtheria may be mild or severe. Some people do not have symptoms. In others, the disease can slowly get worse. Recovery from the illness is slow. People may die, especially when the disease affects the heart. The most common complication is inflammation of the heart muscle ( myocarditis ). The nervous system is also frequently and severely affected, which may result in temporary paralysis. The diphtheria toxin can also damage the kidneys. There can also be an allergic response to the antitoxin. Contact your provider right away if you have come in contact with a person who has diphtheria. Diphtheria is a rare disease. It is also a reportable disease , and any cases are often publicized in the newspaper or on television. This helps you to know if diphtheria is present in your area. Routine childhood immunizations and adult boosters prevent the disease. Anyone who has come into contact with an infected person should get an immunization or booster shot against diphtheria, if they have not already received it. Protection from the vaccine lasts only 10 years. So it is important for adults to get a booster vaccine every 10 years. The booster is called tetanus-diphtheria ( Td ). (The shot also has vaccine medicine for an infection called tetanus.) If you have been in close contact with a person who has diphtheria, contact your provider right away.

| Diphtheria | RIFE | 800000,1090154 | Bacteria causing sore throat, fever, rapid heartbeat, nausea, chills, and headache. Toxins may damage heart and nerves. See Corynebacterium Diphtheriae. Encyclopedia Entry for Diphtheria : Diphtheria - Corynebacterium diphtheriae (G+ rod: non-sporulating: non-filamentous) Encyclopedia Entry for Diphtheria : Diphtheria. The bacteria that cause diphtheria spread through respiratory droplets (such as from a cough or sneeze) of an infected person or someone who carries the bacteria but has no symptoms. The bacteria most commonly infect your nose and throat. The throat infection causes a gray to black, tough, fiber-like covering, which can block your airways. In some cases, diphtheria infects your skin first and causes skin lesions. Once you are infected, the bacteria make dangerous substances called toxins. The toxins spread through your bloodstream to other organs, such as the heart and brain, and cause damage. Because of widespread vaccination (immunization) of children, diphtheria is now rare in many parts of the world. Risk factors for diphtheria include crowded environments, poor hygiene, and lack of immunization. Symptoms usually occur 1 to 7 days after the bacteria enter your body: Fever and chills Sore throat, hoarseness Painful swallowing Croup-like (barking) cough Drooling (suggests airway blockage is about to occur) Bluish coloration of the skin Bloody, watery drainage from nose Breathing problems, including difficulty breathing, fast breathing, high-pitched breathing sound (stridor) Skin sores (usually seen in tropical areas) Sometimes there are no symptoms. The health care provider will perform a physical exam and look inside your mouth. This may reveal a gray to black covering (pseudomembrane) in the throat, enlarged lymph glands , and swelling of the neck or vocal cords. Tests used may include: Gram stain or throat culture to identify the diphtheria bacteria Toxin assay (to detect the presence of the toxin made by the bacteria) Electrocardiogram ( ECG ). If the provider thinks you have diphtheria, treatment will likely be started right away, even before test results come back. Diphtheria antitoxin is given as a shot into a muscle or through an IV (intravenous line). The infection is then treated with antibiotics, such as penicillin and erythromycin. You may need to stay in the hospital while getting the antitoxin. Other treatments may include: Fluids by IV Oxygen Bed rest Heart monitoring Insertion of a breathing tube Correction of airway blockages People without symptoms who carry diphtheria should be treated with antibiotics. Diphtheria may be mild or severe. Some people do not have symptoms. In others, the disease can slowly get worse. Recovery from the illness is slow. People may die, especially when the disease affects the heart. The most common complication is inflammation of the heart muscle ( myocarditis ). The nervous system is also frequently and severely affected, which may result in temporary paralysis. The diphtheria toxin can also damage the kidneys. There can also be an allergic response to the antitoxin. Contact your provider right away if you have come in contact with a person who has diphtheria. Diphtheria is a rare disease. It is also a reportable disease , and any cases are often publicized in the newspaper or on television. This helps you to know if diphtheria is present in your area. Routine childhood immunizations and adult boosters prevent the disease. Anyone who has come into contact with an infected person should get an immunization or booster shot against diphtheria, if they have not already received it. Protection from the vaccine lasts only 10 years. So it is important for adults to get a booster vaccine every 10 years. The booster is called tetanus-diphtheria ( Td ). (The shot also has vaccine medicine for an infection called tetanus.) If you have been in close contact with a person who has diphtheria, contact your provider right away. Ask whether you need antibiotics to prevent getting diphtheria. Respiratory diphtheria; Pharyngeal diphtheria; Diphtheric cardiomyopathy; Diphtheric polyneuropathy. Antibodies Antibodies.

Encyclopedia Entry for Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation : Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation(*) - most commonly Escherichia coli (G- rod) Encyclopedia Entry for Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation : Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). When you are injured, proteins in the blood that form blood clots travel to the injury site to help stop bleeding. If these proteins become abnormally active throughout the body, you could develop DIC. The underlying cause is usually due to inflammation, infection, or cancer. In some cases of DIC, small blood clots form in the blood vessels. Some of these clots can clog the vessels and cut off the normal blood supply to organs such as the liver, brain, or kidneys. Lack of blood flow can damage and cause major injury to the organs. In other cases of DIC, the clotting proteins in your blood are consumed. When this happens, you may have a high risk of serious bleeding, even from a minor injury or without injury. You may also have bleeding that starts spontaneously (on its own). The disease can also cause your healthy red blood cells to fragment and break up when they travel through the small vessels that are filled with clots. Risk factors for DIC include: Blood transfusion reaction Cancer, especially certain types of leukemia Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) Infection in the blood, especially by bacteria or fungus Liver disease Pregnancy complications (such as placenta that is left behind after delivery) Recent surgery or anesthesia Severe tissue injury (as in burns and head injury) Large hemangioma (a blood vessel that is not formed properly). Symptoms of DIC may include any of the following: Bleeding, from many sites in the body Blood clots Bruising Drop in blood pressure Shortness of breath Confusion, memory loss or change of behavior Fever. You may have any of the following tests: Complete blood count with blood smear exam Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) Prothrombin time (PT) Fibrinogen blood test D-dimer . There is no specific treatment for DIC. The goal is to determine and treat the underlying cause of DIC. Supportive treatments may include: Plasma transfusions to replace blood clotting factors if a large amount of bleeding is occurring. Blood thinner medicine (heparin) to prevent blood clotting if a large amount of clotting is occurring. Outcome depends on what is causing the disorder. DIC can be life threatening. Complications from DIC may include: Bleeding Lack of blood flow to the arms, legs, or vital organs Stroke. Go to the emergency room or call 911 if you have bleeding that does not stop.

What to ask your doctor about diverticulitis. Colonoscopy Colonoscopy. Bhuket TP, Stollman NH. Diverticular disease of the colon. Encyclopedia Entry for Diverticulitis : Diverticulitis and diverticulosis - discharge. You may have had a CT scan or other tests that helped your doctor check your colon. You may have received fluids and drugs that fight infections through an intravenous (IV) tube in your vein. You were probably on a special diet to help your colon rest and heal. If your diverticulitis was very bad, or a repeat of past swelling, you may need surgery. Your health care provider may also recommend that you have further tests to look at your colon (large intestine) such as colonoscopy. It is important to follow up with these tests. Your pain and other symptoms should go away after a few days of treatment. If they do not get better, or if they get worse, you will need to call the provider. Once these pouches have formed, you have them for life. If you make a few simple changes in your lifestyle, you may not have diverticulitis again. Your provider may have given you antibiotics to treat any infection. Take them as you were told you to. Make sure you finish the whole prescription. Call your provider if you have any side effects. DO NOT put off having a bowel movement. This can lead to a firmer stool, which will make you use more force to pass it. Eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. Exercise regularly. When you first go home or after an attack, your provider may ask you to drink liquids only at first, then slowly increase your diet. In the beginning, you may need to avoid whole-grain foods, fruits, and vegetables. This will help your colon rest. After you are better, your provider will suggest that you add more fiber to your diet and avoid certain foods. Eating more fiber may help prevent future attacks. If you have bloating or gas, cut down the amount of fiber you eat for a few days. High fiber foods include: Fruits, such as tangerines, prunes, apples, bananas, peaches, and pears Tender cooked vegetables, such as asparagus, beets, mushrooms, turnips, pumpkin, broccoli, artichokes, lima beans, squash, carrots, and sweet potatoes Lettuce and peeled potatoes Vegetable juices High-fiber cereals (such as shredded wheat) and muffins Hot cereals, such as oatmeal, farina, and cream of wheat Whole-grain breads (whole wheat or whole rye). Call your provider if you have: Blood in your stools Fever above 100.4 F (38 C) that does not go away Nausea, vomiting, or chills Sudden belly or back pain, or pain that gets worse or is very severe. Diverticular disease - discharge. Bhuket TP, Stollman NH. Diverticular disease of the colon. Encyclopedia Entry for Diverticulitis : Diverticulitis. The formation of pouches or sacs on the intestinal lining is called diverticulosis. It is found in more than half of Americans over age 60. However, no one knows exactly what causes the pouches to form. Eating a low-fiber diet mostly made up of processed foods may be a cause. Constipation and hard stools are more likely when you do not eat enough fiber. Straining to pass stools increases the pressure in the colon or intestines, which may lead to the formation of these pouches. Diverticulitis is caused by small pieces of stool (feces) that become trapped in these pouches, causing infection or inflammation. People with diverticulosis often have no symptoms, but they may have bloating and cramping in the lower part of the belly. Rarely, they may notice blood in their stool or on toilet paper. Symptoms of diverticulitis are more severe and often start suddenly, but they may become worse over a few days. They include: Tenderness, usually in the left lower side of the abdomen Bloating or gas Fever and chills Nausea and vomiting Not feeling hungry and not eating. Your health care provider will examine you. You may need blood tests to see if you have an infection. Other tests that help diagnose diverticulitis may include: CT scan Ultrasound of the abdomen X-rays of the abdomen. The treatment of diverticulitis depends on how serious the symptoms are. Some people may need to be in the hospital, but most of the time, the problem can be treated at home. To help with the pain, your provider may suggest that you: Rest in bed and use a heating pad on your belly. Take pain medicines (ask your provider which ones you should use). Drink only fluids for a day or two, and then slowly begin drinking thicker liquids and then eating foods. The provider may treat you with antibiotics. After you are better, your provider will suggest that you add more fiber to your diet. Eating more fiber can help prevent future attacks. If you have bloating or gas, reduce the amount of fiber you eat for a few days. Once these pouches have formed, you will have them for life. Diverticulitis can return, but some providers think a high-fiber diet may lessen your chances of a recurrence. Most often, this is a mild condition that responds well to treatment. Some people will have more than 1 attack of diverticulitis. Surgery may be needed in some cases. Many times, providers will recommend that you have a colonoscopy after diverticulitis has healed. More serious problems that may develop are: Abnormal connections that form between parts of the colon or between the colon and another part of the body (fistula) Hole or tear in the colon (perforation) Narrowed area in the colon (stricture) Pocket filled with pus or infection (abscess) Bleeding from the diverticula.

| Diverticulosis | XTRA | 154,400,934 | Causes formation of pouches called diverticula in bowel wall. See Diverticulitis programs. Encyclopedia Entry for Diverticulosis : Diverticulosis. Diverticulosis is less common in people age 40 and younger. It's more common in older adults. About half of Americans over age 60 have this condition. Most people will have it by age 80. No one knows exactly what causes these pouches to form. For many years, it was thought that eating a low-fiber diet may play a role. Not eating enough fiber can cause constipation (hard stools). Straining to pass stools (feces) increases the pressure in the colon or intestines. This may cause the pouches to form at weak spots in the colon wall. However, whether a low-fiber diet leads to this problem is not well proven. Other possible risk factors that are also not well proven are lack of exercise and obesity. Eating nuts, popcorn, or corn does not appear to lead to diverticular disease. Most people with diverticulosis have no symptoms. When symptoms occur, they may include: Pain and cramps in your stomach Constipation (sometimes diarrhea) Bloating or gas Not feeling hungry and not eating You may notice small amounts of blood in your stools or on toilet paper. Rarely, more severe bleeding may occur. Diverticulosis is often found during an exam for another health problem. For example, it is often discovered during a colonoscopy. If you do have symptoms, you may have one or more of the following tests: Blood tests to see if you have an infection or have lost too much blood CT scan or ultrasound of the abdomen if you have bleeding, loose stools, or pain A colonoscopy is needed to make the diagnosis: A colonoscopy is an exam that views the inside of the colon and rectum. This test should not be done when you are having symptoms of acute diverticulitis. A small camera attached to a tube can reach the length of the colon. Angiography Angiography is an imaging test that uses x-rays and a special dye to see inside the blood vessels. This test may be used if the area of bleeding is not seen during a colonoscopy. Because most people have no symptoms, most of the time, no treatment is needed. Your health care provider may recommend getting more fiber in your diet. A high-fiber diet has many health benefits. Most people don't get enough fiber. To help prevent constipation, you should: Eat plenty of whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables. Limit processed foods. Drink plenty of fluids. Get regular exercise. Talk with your provider about taking a fiber supplement. You should avoid NSAIDs such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Motrin), and naproxen (Aleve). These medicines can make bleeding more likely. For bleeding that does not stop or recurs: Colonoscopy may be used to inject medicines or burn a certain area in the intestine to stop the bleeding. Angiography may be used to infuse medicines or block off a blood vessel. If bleeding does not stop or recurs many times, removal of a section of the colon may be needed. Most people who have diverticulosis have no symptoms. Once these pouches have formed, you will have them for life. Up to 25% of people with the condition will develop diverticulitis. This occurs when small pieces of stool become trapped in the pouches, causing infection or swelling. More serious problems that may develop include: Abnormal connections that form between parts of the colon or between the colon and another part of the body (fistula) Hole or tear in the colon (perforation) Narrowed area in the colon (stricture) Pockets filled with pus or infection (abscess).

Most often, people say the spinning feeling can start when they roll over in bed or tilt their head up to look at something. Along with lightheadedness and vertigo, you may also have: Nausea and vomiting Hearing loss Ringing in your ears (tinnitus) Vision problems, such as a feeling that things are jumping or moving Loss of balance, difficulty standing up Lightheadedness usually gets better by itself, or is easily treated. However, it can be a symptom of other problems. There are many causes. Medicines may cause dizziness, or problems with your ear. Motion sickness can also make you dizzy. Vertigo can be a symptom of many disorders, as well. Some may be chronic, long-term conditions. Some may come and go. Depending on the cause of your vertigo, you may have other symptoms, like benign positional vertigo or Meniere disease. It is important to have your doctor decide if your vertigo is a sign of a serious problem. If you have vertigo, you may be able to prevent your symptoms from getting worse by: Avoiding sudden movements or position changes Keeping still and resting when you have symptoms Avoiding bright lights, TV, and reading when you have symptoms When you feel better, slowly increase your activity. If you lose your balance, you may need help walking to stay safe. A sudden, dizzy spell during certain activities can be dangerous. Wait 1 week after a severe spell of vertigo is gone before you climb, drive, or operate heavy machinery or consult your health care provider for advice. Chronic lightheadedness or vertigo can cause stress. Make healthy lifestyle choices to help you cope: Get enough sleep. Eat a well-balanced, healthy diet. Do not overeat. Exercise regularly, if possible. Learn and practice ways to relax, such as guided imagery, progressive muscle relaxation, yoga, tai chi, or meditation. Make your home as safe as you can, just in case you lose your balance. For example: Remove loose wires or cords from areas you walk through to get from one room to another. Remove loose throw rugs. Install night lights. Put nonskid mats and grab bars near the bathtub and toilet. Your health care provider may prescribe medicines for nausea and vomiting. Lightheadedness and vertigo may improve with some medicines. Commonly used drugs include: Dimenhydrinate Meclizine Sedatives such as diazepam (Valium) Too much water or fluid in your body may make the symptoms worse by increasing fluid pressure in your inner ear. Your provider may suggest a low salt diet or water pills (diuretics). Call 911 or your local emergency number, or go to an emergency room if you are dizzy and have: A head injury Fever over 101 F (38.3 C) Headache or a very stiff neck Seizures Trouble keeping fluids down; vomiting that does not stop Chest pain Irregular heart beat Shortness of breath Weakness Cannot move an arm or leg Change in vision or speech Fainting and losing alertness Call your provider if you have: New symptoms, or symptoms that are getting worse Dizziness after taking medicine Hearing loss. Meniere disease - aftercare; Benign positional vertigo - aftercare. Chang AK. Dizziness and vertigo. Encyclopedia Entry for Dizziness : Dizziness. Most causes of dizziness are not serious, and they either quickly get better on their own or are easy to treat. Lightheadedness occurs when your brain does not get enough blood. This may occur if: You have a sudden drop in blood pressure. Your body does not have enough water (is dehydrated) because of vomiting, diarrhea, fever, and other conditions. You get up too quickly after sitting or lying down (this is more common in older people). Lightheadedness may also occur if you have the flu , low blood sugar , a cold, or allergies. More serious conditions that can lead to light-headedness include: Heart problems, such as a heart attack or abnormal heart beat Stroke Bleeding inside the body Shock (extreme drop in blood pressure) If any of these serious disorders are present, you will usually also have symptoms like chest pain, a feeling of a racing heart, loss of speech, change in vision, or other symptoms. Vertigo may be due to: Benign positional vertigo , a spinning feeling that occurs when you move your head Labyrinthitis , a viral infection of the inner ear that usually follows a cold or flu Meniere disease , a common inner ear problem Other causes of lightheadedness or vertigo may include: Use of certain medicines Stroke Multiple sclerosis Seizures Brain tumor Bleeding in the brain. If you tend to get lightheaded when you stand up: Avoid sudden changes in posture. Get up from a lying position slowly, and stay seated for a few moments before standing. When standing, make sure you have something to hold on to. If you have vertigo, the following tips can help prevent your symptoms from becoming worse: Keep still and rest when symptoms occur. Avoid sudden movements or position changes. Slowly increase activity. You may need a cane or other help walking when you have a loss of balance during a vertigo attack. Avoid bright lights, TV, and reading during vertigo attacks because they may make symptoms worse. Avoid activities such as driving, operating heavy machinery, and climbing until 1 week after your symptoms disappear. A sudden dizzy spell during these activities can be dangerous. Call your local emergency number (such as 911) or go to an emergency room if you are dizzy and have: A head injury Fever over 101 F (38.3 C), headache, or very stiff neck Seizures Trouble keeping fluids down Chest pain Irregular heart rate (heart is skipping beats) Shortness of breath Weakness Inability to move an arm or leg Change in vision or speech Fainting and loss of alertness for more than a few minutes Call your health care provider for an appointment if you have: Dizziness for the first time New or worsening symptoms Dizziness after taking medicine Hearing loss. Your provider will perform a physical exam and ask questions about your medical history and symptoms, including: When did your dizziness begin? Does your dizziness occur when you move? What other symptoms occur when you feel dizzy? Are you always dizzy or does the dizziness come and go? How long does the dizziness last? Were you sick with a cold, flu, or other illness before the dizziness began? Do you have a lot of stress or anxiety? Tests that may be done include: Blood pressure reading Electrocardiogram ( ECG ) Hearing tests Balance testing ( ENG ) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Your provider may prescribe medicines to help you feel better, including: Antihistamines Sedatives Anti-nausea medicine Surgery may be needed if you have Meniere disease.

| DNA Heal | XTRA | 5333.69 | As we age, our bodies inevitably deteriorate. Some changes, like grey hair and wrinkles, are easily visible. Others, like high blood pressure, often go unnoticed, but can be deadly. Just as our body shows signs of ageing, so does our genome. Damage comes from chemical reactions that alter our DNA, and from errors introduced when it is copied. Our cells protect against these ravages, but these mechanisms are not foolproof and cells gradually accumulate DNA damage over a lifetime. As a consequence of this damage, your genome is not the same in every cell; you are a patchwork of cells with subtle differences in their DNA. When a cell divides it will pass on these changes, and as they accumulate there is more and more likelihood that there will be consequences. If these changes we call them mutations chip away at the systems that govern cell proliferation and survival, this can lead to cancer. |

| Down Syndrome | XTRA | 20,5000 | Palliative. Encyclopedia Entry for Down Syndrome : Down syndrome. In most cases, Down syndrome occurs when there is an extra copy of chromosome 21. This form of Down syndrome is called trisomy 21. The extra chromosome causes problems with the way the body and brain develop. Down syndrome is one of the most common causes of birth defects. Down syndrome symptoms vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe. No matter how severe the condition is, people with Down syndrome have a widely-recognized appearance. The head may be smaller than normal and abnormally shaped. For example, the head may be round with a flat area on the back. The inner corner of the eyes may be rounded instead of pointed. Common physical signs include: Decreased muscle tone at birth Excess skin at the nape of the neck Flattened nose Separated joints between the bones of the skull (sutures) Single crease in the palm of the hand Small ears Small mouth Upward slanting eyes Wide, short hands with short fingers White spots on the colored part of the eye (Brushfield spots) Physical development is often slower than normal. Most children with Down syndrome never reach average adult height. Children may also have delayed mental and social development. Common problems may include: Impulsive behavior Poor judgment Short attention span Slow learning As children with Down syndrome grow and become aware of their limitations, they may also feel frustration and anger. Many different medical conditions are seen in people with Down syndrome, including: Birth defects involving the heart, such as an atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect Dementia may be seen Eye problems, such as cataracts (most children with Down syndrome need glasses) Early and massive vomiting, which may be a sign of a gastrointestinal blockage, such as esophageal atresia and duodenal atresia Hearing problems, probably caused by repeated ear infections Hip problems and risk of dislocation Long-term (chronic) constipation problems Sleep apnea (because the mouth, throat, and airway are narrowed in children with Down syndrome) Teeth that appear later than normal and in a location that may cause problems with chewing Underactive thyroid ( hypothyroidism ). A doctor can often make a diagnosis of Down syndrome at birth based on how the baby looks. The doctor may hear a heart murmur when listening to the baby's chest with a stethoscope. A blood test can be done to check for the extra chromosome and confirm the diagnosis. Other tests that may be done include: Echocardiogram and ECG to check for heart defects (usually done soon after birth) X-rays of the chest and gastrointestinal tract People with Down syndrome need to be closely screened for certain medical conditions. They should have: An eye exam every year during infancy Hearing tests every 6 to 12 months, depending on age Dental exams every 6 months X-rays of the upper or cervical spine between ages 3 and 5 years Pap smears and pelvic exams beginning during puberty or by age 21 Thyroid testing every 12 months. There is no specific treatment for Down syndrome. If treatment is needed, it is usually for associated health problems. For example, a child born with a gastrointestinal blockage may need major surgery right after birth. Certain heart defects may also require surgery. When breast-feeding, the baby should be well supported and fully awake. The baby may have some leakage because of poor tongue control. But many infants with Down syndrome can successfully breastfeed. Obesity can become a problem for older children and adults. Getting plenty of activity and avoiding high-calorie foods are important. Before beginning sports activities, the child's neck and hips should be examined. Behavioral training can help people with Down syndrome and their families deal with the frustration, anger, and compulsive behavior that often occur. Parents and caregivers should learn to help a person with Down syndrome deal with frustration. At the same time, it is important to encourage independence. Teen girls and women with Down syndrome are usually able to get pregnant. There is an increased risk for sexual abuse and other types of abuse in both males and females. It is important for those with Down syndrome to: Be taught about pregnancy and taking the proper precautions Learn to advocate for themselves in difficult situations Be in a safe environment If the person has any heart defects or other heart problems, antibiotics may need to be prescribed to prevent a heart infection called endocarditis. Special education and training is offered in most communities for children with delays in mental development. Speech therapy may help improve language skills. Physical therapy may teach movement skills. Occupational therapy may help with feeding and performing tasks. Mental health care can help both parents and the child manage mood or behavior problems. Special educators are also often needed. The following resources can provide more information on Down syndrome: National Down Syndrome Society -- www.ndss.org National Down Syndrome Congress -- www.ndsccenter.org. Although many children with Down syndrome have physical and mental limitations, they can live independent and productive lives well into adulthood. About one half of children with Down syndrome are born with heart problems, including atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, and endocardial cushion defects. Severe heart problems may lead to early death. People with Down syndrome have an increased risk for certain types of leukemia, which can also cause early death. The level of intellectual disability varies, but is usually moderate. Adults with Down syndrome have an increased risk for dementia. A health care provider should be consulted to determine if the child needs special education and training. It is important for the child to have regular checkups with a doctor. Experts recommend genetic counseling for people with a family history of Down syndrome who wish to have a baby. A woman's risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases as she gets older. The risk is significantly higher among women age 35 and older. Couples who already have a baby with Down syndrome have an increased risk of having another baby with the condition. Tests such as nuchal translucency ultrasound , amniocentesis , or chorionic villus sampling can be done on a fetus during the first few months of pregnancy to check for Down syndrome. Trisomy 21.
