hereditary liver disease :: Article Creator 7 Reasons Most People Get Liver Cancer Liver cancer remains one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, often detected only in later stages when treatment options become limited. Understanding the primary risk factors helps individuals make informed decisions about their health and take preventive measures before problems develop. Chronic viral hepatitis Hepatitis B and C infections represent the leading causes of liver cancer worldwide. These viruses gradually damage liver tissue through chronic inflammation, eventually leading to cirrhosis. This scarring process creates an environment where cancer cells can develop and flourish. The risk increases significantly for individuals who carry these viruses long-term without treatment. While Hepatitis B has a preventive vaccine, Hepatitis C lacks one but responds to antiviral medications. Early detection through regular screening proves crucial for preve

hemophilia a in women :: Article Creator What Is Hemophilia? Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, And Treatment It's common for people who have or have had family members with hemophilia to get their baby boys tested for the condition shortly after they're born. About one-third of babies who have hemophilia have no relatives with the disorder, so infants may be evaluated if they show symptoms. [9] Ideally, testing is planned before the baby's birth so that a blood sample can be drawn from the umbilical cord. Umbilical cord blood testing is better at discovering low levels of factor 8 than at finding low levels of factor 9, because factor 9 levels are not at a normal level until a baby is at least 6 months old. Two types of tests are used for diagnosis: screening tests and clotting factor tests, which are also called factor assays. Screening Tests Screening tests are blood tests that reveal whether the blood is clotting properly. There

autoimmune disease internal bleeding :: Article Creator The Ancient Disease Scurvy Is Shockingly Making A Comeback — Here's Why Arrrrrr you kidding? Scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency disease that plagued sailors and pirates centuries ago, appears to be re-emerging thanks to the rising cost of living and the popularity of weight loss surgery, a new study finds. "Scurvy is still seen as a disease of the past, especially in developed countries," Australian doctors wrote Tuesday in the journal BMJ Case Reports. "However, sporadic cases of scurvy occur, especially in the elderly, patients with alcoholism and children with psychiatric or developmental problems." Scurvy has been prevalent throughout history. This is a picture of scurvy patients at a station for abandoned children in Russia during World War I.

male chromosomal abnormalities :: Article Creator X Y Chromosomes In the imprinted brain theory, everyone's brain is configured somewhere on a spectrum between hypomentalism and hypermentalism. In hypomentalism, the mechanistic, paternal genes are over-expressed, creating a baby with a larger head who demands more from the mother; this child is more likely to have autism. In hypermentalism, the mentalistic, maternal genes are over-expressed; the baby is likely to have a smaller head, demand less from the mother, and develop psychosis. The normal brain falls somewhere between the two extremes, ensuring that the child exhibits neither autism nor psychosis. Karyotyping For Chromosomal Abnormalities In order to maximize the diagnostic information obtained from a chromosome preparation, images of the individual chromosomes are arranged into a standardized format known as a karyotype, or more precisely, a karyogram (Figure 1a-c).

treacher collins syndrome jono :: Article Creator People With Visible Differences Put In The Frame Jono has been photographed for exhibition Rarely Reframed, which wants to raise awareness about the prejudice those with a visible difference experience In a bid to avoid awkward questions and stares from strangers, Jono Lancaster makes a point of smiling and saying hello to everyone he meets. "I'm creating a positive interaction before they even see me, or say anything, or think anything... I'm taking ownership of it," he said. Jono has Treacher Collins syndrome, a condition caused by a genetic mutation which affects the development of the facial skeleton, cheekbones, jaws, palate and mouth. He is one of several people with a visible difference who have taken part in project Rarely Reframed by Welsh photographer Ceridwen Hughes.

blood too thick disease :: Article Creator Polycythemia Vera Polycythemia vera (PV) is a blood cancer that begins in the marrow of your bones, the soft center where new blood cells grow. It causes your marrow to make too many red blood cells so your blood is too thick. You may be more likely to have clots, a stroke, or a heart attack. This disease gets worse slowly, usually over many years. It can be life-threatening if you don't get treatment, but the right care can help you live a long life. Most people who have PV don't get diagnosed until they're 60 or older, usually after a routine blood test. But it can happen at any age. Men get it more often than women. It's common to worry when you find out that you have cancer. Remember that everyone is different and that all cancers aren't the same. With the support of your doctor, family, friends, and other people who have polycythemia vera, you'll be in the best position

cytomegalovirus hearing loss :: Article Creator Congenital CMV Linked To Hearing Loss In most cases, the virus known as Cytomegalovirus has no symptoms but pregnant women who contract the virus can pass it along to their babies. A new Georgia law is in effect that makes it mandatory for early testing for hearing loss, and pediatric Dr. Paula Harmon visited Good Day to discuss what parents need to know with Alex Whittler. Listen Closely: CMV Shouldn't Be Overlooked Hearing loss. Developmental delay. Vision loss.  These are all effects experienced by children who contracted congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) at birth. In a healthcare system as well funded and forward-thinking as California's, no child should be at risk of suffering permanent disabilities as a result of a missed diagnosis. Their suffering could be greatly reduced with early treatment, which requires early detection — preferably at birth. But that approach has yet to be uni
