A bone tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in bone, traditionally classified as noncancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant).[1][4] Cancerous bone tumors usually originate from a cancer in another part of the body such as from lung, breast, thyroid, kidney and prostate.[1] There may be a lump, pain, or neurological signs from pressure.[1] A bone tumor might present with a pathologic fracture.[1] Other symptoms may include fatigue, fever, weight loss, anemia and nausea.[2][3] Sometimes there are no symptoms and the tumour is found when investigating another problem.[2][3]

Diagnosis is generally by X-ray and other radiological tests such as CT scan, MRI, PET scan and bone scintigraphy.[1] Blood tests might include a complete blood count, inflammatory markers, serum electrophoresis, PSA, kidney function and liver function.[1] Urine may be sent for Bence Jones protein.[1] For confirmation of diagnosis, a biopsy for histological evaluation might be required.[1]

The most common bone tumor is a non-ossifying fibroma.[4] Average five-year survival in the United States after being diagnosed with bone and joint cancer is 67%.[5] The earliest known bone tumor was an osteosarcoma in a foot bone discovered in South Africa, between 1.6 and 1.8 million years ago.[6]

My antidote for stress | Hidde de Vries | TEDxDelftSalon

health No Comments »

Hidde de Vries was running a successful communication and public relations company, when he suffered from a burnout. He went on a search for a way to deal with workstress, but was surprised by how little he found that would help. And so, determined to find an effective way to deal with burnouts, went in search of the antidote.

Throughout his career Hidde de Vries has had strong ties to the field of communication and marketing, eventually leading to him starting his own agency. Since then he has started working for Google. He also set up another company, 7 day recharge, which focusses on helping people find balance between their work and private lives.

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx

6 Silent Signs Stress Is Killing You

How are you managing stress lately? Stress is described as the feeling of either emotional or physical tension. Stress is the body’s reaction when faced with challenges and can be positive for a short burst, as it will help you avoid danger or meet deadlines. But feeling stress constantly long-term can be very dangerous because of how easily stress can become a part of your daily life. In this video, we’ll be talking about the silent stress signs that are killing you slowly.

“C. diff” - How It Spreads, Symptoms & Prevention

Physicians with the Beacon Center for Infectious Diseases – specialists in diagnosing and treating infections – discuss a common health care associated infection called Clostridium difficile or “C. diff.”

C. diff can be a serious infection that causes symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. It’s linked to an estimated 14,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. The infection most commonly affects people staying in a hospital or long-term health care facility and usually occurs after the use of antibiotics.

To reach our Beacon Center, call 303-415-8850. For more information, visit https://www.bch.org/beacon-center/bea…

Dr. Freda Lewis- Hall, Pfizer’s Chief Patient Officer discusses C. difficile, a highly contagious bacterium that can cause symptoms ranging from stomach pain and diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. For more information visit: https://on.pfizer.com/2QSGNSZ

The Effects of Hyperglycemia on the Immune System

cure No Comments »

Developed and produced for http://www.MDPracticeGuide.com, a CME resource for physicians and healthcare providers.

Animation Description: Under normal circumstances, bacterial infection results in the release of chemokines that attract circulating neutrophils to the endothelium. This process is known as chemotaxis.

A variety of molecules are expressed on the endothelial cell surface that allow the neutrophil to be captured, then roll along the endothelium, then adhere.

Following adherence, the neutrophil migrates into the subendothelial tissue to reach the site of infection.

The neutrophil engulfs the bacteria and eliminates them via breakdown within the phagosomes — a process known as phagocytosis.

In states of hyperglycemia, chemotaxis is reduced. Adherence is also adversely affected.
Phagocytosis is also impaired by hyperglycemia.

Hyperglycemia also adversely affects the macrophage system. Under normal circumstances, circulating monocytes are attracted to sites of infection, roll, adhere, and then migrate into the subendothelial space. The monocyte then transforms into a macrophage.

which is then activated by cytokines released by the bacteria. The activated macrophage then engulfs the bacteria.

However, hyperglycemia results in decreased activation of macrophages, thereby arresting the process of macrophage phagocytosis of bacteria.

In addition to affecting neutrophil and macrophage function, hyperglycemia also affects the complement cascade. Under situations of normal glycemia, bacteria can activate the complement cascade.

Activation of the complement cascade results in the formation of transmembrane protein channels known as membrane attack complex (MAC) in bacterial membrane.

Membrane attack complexes make the bacterial membrane porous and the rapid influx of fluid results in the bacterial cell death.

Hyperglycemia inhibits the proper activation of the complement cascade, thereby reducing another pathway of the immune system.

Autoimmune Diseases – Causes, Symptoms, Treatments & More…

cure No Comments »

Your body’s immune system protects you from disease and infection. But if you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system attacks healthy cells in your body by mistake. Autoimmune diseases can affect many parts of the body.

No one is sure what causes autoimmune diseases. They do tend to run in families. Women – particularly African-American, Hispanic-American, and Native-American women – have a higher risk for some autoimmune diseases.

There are more than 80 types of autoimmune diseases, and some have similar symptoms. This makes it hard for your health care provider to know if you really have one of these diseases, and if so, which one. Getting a diagnosis can be frustrating and stressful. Often, the first symptoms are fatigue, muscle aches and a low fever. The classic sign of an autoimmune disease is inflammation, which can cause redness, heat, pain and swelling.

The diseases may also have flare-ups, when they get worse, and remissions, when symptoms get better or disappear. Treatment depends on the disease, but in most cases one important goal is to reduce inflammation. Sometimes doctors prescribe corticosteroids or other drugs that reduce your immune response.

How Does Hepatitis C Make You Feel? Hepatitis C Symptoms

pain No Comments »

The virus that causes hepatitis C (known as HCV) spreads through contaminated blood and causes dangerous inflammation in the liver. However, about half the people who have hepatitis C don’t even know it, so they feel relatively healthy. Symptoms can take years to appear after the infection actually begins. Eventually, liver inflammation from hepatitis C does enough damage to the liver to cause the signs and symptoms described in this video.
