Does Ringworm Mean I Have Worms?
close
Ringworm gets its name from its appearance, not from the agent that causes it. The characteristic feature of ringworm is patches of rough, reddened skin. The patches often contain circular lesions (pronounced LEE-zhuns), open wounds, that look as if they were caused by tiny worms under the skin.

Spider Bites
close
Brown recluse spiders (loxosceles reclusa) cause painful bites and serious local reactions, but are not nearly as dangerous as black widows. Brown recluse spiders are slightly smaller than black widows; they have a white "violin" pattern on their backs. This type of spider is very reclusive and most people are not even aware that they have been bitten.
Initially, there may be an itch and a small puncture from the spider bite but within a few hours local skin reactions may appear, including minor pain, swelling, and discoloration around the bite where the venom was injected. This requires a trip to the doctor or emergency room.

Intense itching is the most common symptom of scabies. This usually occurs at night. Unlike hair lice, it is essentially impossible to see the mite without the aid of a microscope.

Asthma Triggers and Inflammation
close
Asthma is a disorder affecting the airways of the lungs. People with asthma have very sensitive airways that narrow in response to certain "triggers", leading to difficulty in breathing. The airway narrowing is caused by inflammation and swelling of the airway lining, the tightening of the airway muscles, and the production of excess mucus. This results in a reduced airflow in and out of the lungs.Asthma is Australia's most widespread chronic (long-term and persistent) health problem.

What is Diabetes?
close
During digestion most foods are converted into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is the main fuel source for the body. Once food has been converted into glucose, it moves into the bloodstream where it is circulated around the body. It then passes into the body's cells to be used as energy.For glucose to pass from the bloodstream into the cells, insulin is required. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas - a large gland that sits behind the stomach. Specialised cells in the pancreas, called beta cells, automatically produce the correct amounts of insulin to move the glucose into the cells. Insulin production rises and falls throughout the day in response to the body's needs.

What is Blood Pressure?
close
The main function of the heart is to pump blood through the body in order to transport oxygen and nutrients to organs and working muscle. Blood pressure refers to the pressure exerted by the blood in the body onto the walls of the blood vessels, and is generated by the contraction of the lower part of the heart. The pressure in the blood vessels changes according to whether the heart is contracting or relaxing. Both values are equally important as they give us an idea of the resistance the heart has to work against, i.e. if the blood pressure is low, the heart will have to work against less resistance and will therefore be under less strain.

close
Eating chocolates or fried stuff will not make too much of a difference, but healthy eating - 3 servings a day of fruits and vegetables will help. We need to drink a lot of water, have meals with whole grains and greens to avoid constipation.
Some Don'ts: Wash your hands frequently and try not to touch your face too often.Keep your hair from falling on the face or forehead.Avoid the use of make-up; try to let the pores breathe.
Don't squeeze or pinch the pimples as the membrane gets ruptured and causes the sebum and bacteria spread.Don't wash your face more than twice because the more we wash the sebaceous glands become more active and produce more sebum.

What is Digestive Diseases?
close
The digestive system, or digestive tract, includes the mouth, the esophagus, the stomach, the gallbladder, the small intestine, the large intestine, and the anus, all linked as a long twisting tube that starts at the mouth and ends at the anus. It also includes the liver and the pancreas, two organs that produce substances needed for digestion such as enzymes, reaching the intestine through small tubes. The function of the digestive system is to transform ingested food for use by the cells that make up the body. Food enters through the mouth and proceeds to the gut where it is chemically modified for absorption by the body or waste disposal.
