  • Warning Signals Of Tetanus
    Warning signals of tetanus should be kept in mind, because the disease could occur even when the injury is minor and totally forgotten. In that case, probably, the injury was so minimal that the patient may not have cared to take a booster dose of the vaccination, or may have remained entirely unimmunized. In such cases, the disease appears like a bolt from the blue. However, if the patient is aware of the early symptoms and signs of the disease, he is likely to immediately r...
  • Treatment Guide For Coeliac Disease
    Whilst 'coeliac', in its strictest medical sense may refer to gluten intolerance only, in more general terms it means, simply, 'of or in the abdominal cavity'.

    The primary, and most important, treatment is the elimination of grains containing gluten from the diet. In addition, it may be necessary to severely restrict intake of non-glutinous grains and refined carbohydrate. If these rules are not adhered to, a severe relapse, especially in later life, will generally follow....
  • Symptoms Of Coeliac Disease
    Available evidence suggests that symptoms fall equally into two broad categories. In some cases, they can arise directly from the effects of gluten on the small intestine, such as diarrhoea or abdominal fullness, discomfort, pain and vomiting. The remainder, however, do not experience these specific symptoms to any marked degree. Instead, they complain of a more general malaise involving chronic fatigue, irritability, depression and perhaps, breathlessness. Inevitably, all co...
  • Things To Know About Coeliac Disease
    Coeliac disease in children:

    A coeliac disorder can manifest itself at any age. In children it usually becomes evident three to five months after commencing eating gluten-containing foods. In the worst cases, the infant will refuse his feeds, stop putting on weight, become irritable, or listless and develop a large abdomen. Stools become abnormal, either large, pale and offensive or developing into diarrhoea.

    In other cases, no symptoms are shown until later in childhoo...
  • History Of Coeliac Disease
    The ancient physician, who recognized and recorded the disease, was known as Aretaeus of Cappadocia and was a contemporary of the great Roman physician of that time, Galen. In 1856, Francis Adams translated Aretaeus' writings for the Sydenham Society of Great Britain. The ancient Greek text used the world KOILIAKOS, from which the word coeliac is derived. It means, literally, 'suffering in the bowels'. Aretaeus appears to have understood a great deal about the illness. In his...
  • Symptoms And Treatment For Myalgic Encephalomyelitis
    Symptoms:

    The most dominant symptoms are persistent exhaustion, muscle weakness and impaired mental function. In some cases the disease can progress to a point where bed rest for a prolonged period is required. Because this is a polysymptomatic illness, the sufferer is rarely free of symptoms. It seems that all parts of the body are affected at various times with a constantly changing symptomatology. Often three or four symptoms are raging at the same time. Some sufferers ...
  • What Is Myalgic Encephalomyelitis?
    Myalgic encephalomyelitis, commonly known as M.E., is an ongoing condition, resulting from a severe viral or other illness. Another name for this condition is post viral syndrome. It is not in itself infectious but occurs when the victim is left with a damaged immune system, causing a range of debilitating symptoms. They include, extreme tiredness, aching, muscle weakness and impairment of some mental processes.

    Symptoms, such as these, are not uncommon after viral infecti...
