			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is Dermographism?<br />
The mast cells present in the skin&#8217;s surface act as a defense system, providing protection against pathogens. For people who suffer from dermographism, the membranes around the mast cells are weak. Upon rubbing or scratching, the skin releases histamine, which leads to swelling and breakouts. It looks very similar to an allergic reaction; most sufferers get fooled into believing that they have an allergy to a certain substance, when it is actually just the friction that is responsible for the welts. Normally, these welts disappear within a few hours, but serious cases take longer.<br />
What are the Causes?<br />
✔Dermographism affects 4 to 5% of our total population, but its causes are mostly unknown.<br />
✔In certain people, it is caused due to exposure to extreme temperatures; be it hot or cold.<br />
✔Constricted clothing, friction from wearing jewelry, tight watch straps; anything can trigger a reaction.<br />
✔Temperature variations and other environmental factors can also lead to skin breakouts.<br />
✔At times, emotional stress has also been observed as a possible cause of dermographism.<br />
✔Hereditary factors also have a role to play in the occurrence of this disorder, as do allergies and other related skin problems. Minor itches, rubbing or a slap on the skin leads to eruption of welts.<br />
How is it Treated?<br />
✔As the discomfort is caused due to the histamines released by the mast cells in the absence of antigens, an antihistamine is usually prescribed by doctors to treat dermographism.<br />
✔People suffering from this condition are advised to stay away from being out in the sunshine for too long, and they need to be careful in extreme cold climates as well.<br />
✔Using the correct moisturizer keeps the skin hydrated and prevents the itching caused by dryness.<br />
✔For some patients, a warm bath brings relief, but this strictly cannot be generalized for everyone.<span id="more-889"></span><br />
✔Certain soaps, lotions or fabrics may cause a rash, so the patient needs to keep away from those and stick to hypoallergenic and biodegradable body care products.<br />
✔Acupuncture has helped some patients get rid of this condition. With more serious cases, steroids or cortisone have also been prescribed.<br />
The Latest Research Says &#8230;<br />
According to latest research, alternative medicine is seen by some to be a treatment without the side effects brought about by strong chemicals. If some theories are to be believed, the occurrence of dermographism has its roots in a weak immune system. Studies also show a connection between dermographism and thyroid problems, Celiac disease and gluten intolerance; so, addressing these problems is advisable to get rid of this condition. Vitamin C is considered to be a natural antihistamine, which can bring relief. As mentioned before, acupuncture has been practiced by the Chinese to cure people of dermographism since a long time now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The birth control ring is a hormonal contraceptive, which when placed inside a woman&#8217;s body, releases the hormones estrogen and progestin. These hormones not only prevent ovulation, but also thin out the lining of the uterus, making it nearly impossible for an egg to implant itself to the uterus, and bring about a change in the cervical mucus by thickening it, which does not allow sperm to pass into the uterus. They also bring about a change in the composition of the mucus, which refrains the sperm from permeating the egg.</p>
<p>Once you start using the ring, you should continue to use it for three consecutive weeks, and then discard it. Start using a new ring after exactly one week, during which you will most likely get your period. In the event the ring is outside your body for more than three hours at a stretch during the three weeks, its effectiveness decreases even after you insert it back and it may not protect you against a pregnancy. In such a case, you need to use another form of contraception for a week even after you reinsert it.</p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong><br />
The advantages far outweigh its risks, hence, is quite a suitable <a href="http://www.buzzle.com/articles/different-types-of-birth-control.html"><span style="color: #0027aa;">contraceptive</span></a>. Let&#8217;s understand how beneficial it is in terms of a woman&#8217;s health.</p>
<ul>
<li>It works well for women who find it hard to remember to pop a pill everyday. It is much easier to use the ring as you need to insert it just once a month.</li>
<li>The ring exposes the body to a lesser dose of hormones, as compared to the birth control pill, and is equally effective.</li>
<li>Women experience shorter and pain-free periods once they are on the birth control ring. This also significantly reduces the chances of women suffering from iron deficiency and anemia, two of the most common causes of constant fatigue and weakness.</li>
<li>Regular use of the ring can help clear up acne.</li>
<li>The birth control ring proves to be very effective at preventing an ectopic pregnancy, since it inhibits ovulation. An ectopic pregnancy can, in some cases, prove fatal to the mother.</li>
<li>It greatly reduces the chances of ovarian and endometrial cancer. It also reduces pain and inflammation of the pelvis, and chances of developing benign breast and ovarian cysts.</li>
<li>A possible health benefit is an increase in bone mineral density, which decreases the chances of getting osteoporosis.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Disadvantages</strong><br />
A commonly reported disadvantage is that the ring sometimes falls out of place, but this is not of any serious concern as it can be reinserted without much of a problem. The other major disadvantage is that the ring does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.</p>
<p><strong>Side Effects</strong><br />
The ring is a relatively safe contraceptive, and most women in the prime of their health, with no prior medical conditions, do not suffer from any severe side effects when they use the ring. However, as with other medication/contraceptives, the ring has its share of side effects (as listed below) which are not considered as serious and usually clear up after a couple of months of use.</p>
<ul>
<li>Vaginal irritation and infection</li>
<li>Nausea and vomiting</li>
<li>Breast tenderness</li>
<li>Dizziness and headache</li>
<li>Weight gain<span id="more-875"></span></li>
<li>Abdominal bloating</li>
<li>Mood swings and/or irritability</li>
<li>Irregular spotting between periods/changes in menstrual cycle</li>
<li>Change in vision/difficulty using contacts</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Possible Risks</strong><br />
The ring is a type of combined hormonal contraceptive, since it uses both estrogen and progestin. The use of such contraceptives can have rare but serious side effects, which include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Blood clots</li>
<li>Cardiovascular disease</li>
<li>Hypertension</li>
<li>Heart attack/stroke</li>
<li>Breast cancer</li>
<li>Liver cancer (extremely rare cases)</li>
<li>Pancreatitis (in women who suffer from abnormal lipid metabolism)</li>
</ul>
<p>These risks may be aggravated in cases where women smoke, suffer from diabetes, are obese, and have a family history of cardiovascular disease, or suffer from an existing medical condition.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>LNS is an X-linked genetic disorder. This means, the gene mutation is present on the X-chromosome (that comes from the mother). Therefore, as is the case with all X-linked genetic disorders, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is more prevalent in men and is rarely found in women. However, females can be carriers of LNS, thus passing on the rogue gene to future generations. The rarity of the disease is compounded by the fact that males affected with LNS are often unable to reproduce due to the physical manifestations of the disease. Unfortunately, the genetic malfunction is irreversible and hence, treatment for LNS is administered purely to give relief from the painful symptoms of the disease.</p>
<p>Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome Symptomatology</p>
<p>LNS symptoms can be broadly classified into physical, neurological and behavioral indications.</p>
<p>Physical Symptoms</p>
<p>LNS manifests the following physiological symptoms:<br />
•Kidney stones, bladder stones due to overproduction of uric acid<br />
•In infants as young as 3 months, orange-colored crystal like deposits seen in their diaper indicating uric acid deposits (the earliest sign of LNS)<br />
•Blood in the urine<br />
•Testicular atrophy seen as the affected male goes through delayed physical growth and delayed puberty<br />
•Gout like arthritis with swelling of joints<br />
•Difficulty in swallowing<br />
Neurological Symptoms</p>
<p>LNS affects muscle coordination manifesting mainly as dystonia in different parts of the body. Until an affected infant is three to six months old, these symptoms will not be obvious. Motor functions are gradually diminished resulting in developmental delay. The infant will be late in sitting up, turning on his/her back, crawling and walking. Late speech or inability to speak clearly is also common. In fact, most are not able to walk at all and will be bound to a wheelchair for their entire lives. In addition, there may be arching of the spine and overactive reflexes. These neurological dysfunction symptoms often resemble symptoms of cerebral palsy leading to misdiagnosis.<span id="more-873"></span></p>
<p>Cognitive and Behavioral Symptoms</p>
<p>LNS causes cognitive impairment and presents involuntary behavioral disruptions that are seen from 2-3 years of age. A distinctive characteristic of LNS is physical and emotional self-injury. Self-mutilation starts from infancy where the child begins to bite his/her fingers, lips and inside the mouth. As the child becomes older, aggression is more pronounced with leg banging, partial amputation of fingers, hurting his/her own eyes and gouging his/her nose, extending arms in doorways and hurting those around him/her. Emotional aggression is displayed by swearing, spitting, inappropriate remarks, frequent lying, etc. It is extremely vital to understand that this is involuntary behavior. The patient is not doing it on purpose and should not be mistaken as an attempt to draw attention. In fact, despite serious injuries being caused, due to lack of cognitive responses, the patient repeats the episodes. This is different from attention-seeking behavior where a person knows what he/she is doing. In fact, LNS patients are often said to behave in a way contrary to what they want.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If the label on your mouthwash bottle lists ethanol as an ingredient, it is an alcohol based dental rinse solution. The presence of alcohol in mouthwash is of grave importance as it has been discovered that alcohol containing mouthwash causes cancer. One of the most enlightening studies in this regard was published in the Australian Dental Journal, in 2009. According to this study, currently most mouthwashes are manufactured with an average 26% alcohol content. That is more alcohol in your dental rinse solution than the beer you order in a bar. Any liquid that contains more than 20% alcohol concentration has damaging effects on oral health. Such mouthwashes create a burning sensation and penetrate the lining inside the mouth to fight bacteria which weakens and makes it more vulnerable to carcinogens. If you are a smoker, rinsing with an alcohol containing mouthwash leaves you more exposed to nicotine that readily attaches itself to the walls of your mouth. The study claims that a smoker using an alcohol containing mouthwash is at a nine times increased risk of oral cancer. We all know that alcohol shares a direct relationship with oral cancer. Most researchers have concluded that using mouthwash can make you 4 to 5 times more vulnerable to develop a mouth cancer as compared to a person who does not use it at all. A frequent consumer of alcoholic beverages is also at a five times greater risk of mouth cancer than a teetotaler. This study also helps to understand why non-smokers and non-drinkers develop mouth cancers.</p>
<p>Did you know? Johnson &amp; Johnson, one of the world&#8217;s most respected companies that manufactures medical and consumer products, was sued in July 2011 by Oral Cancer Prevention Inc. The latter is a manufacturer of oral cancer detection kits. According to the $60 million lawsuit, Johnson &amp; Johnson tried to curb the sale of these kits after the above-mentioned Australian study was published. It is alleged that the company made this move to protect its product Listerine, a popular mouthwash that is manufactured and distributed by Johnson &amp; Johnson. Post the ordeal, the multinational maintains that it thoroughly tests its products. Interestingly, following the 50% drop in sales of Listerine in Australia, the American Dental Association released a statement denying that mouthwashes are unsafe for oral health.</p>
<p>Since the Australian study did not cite the magnitude of the risk of oral cancer attached to the daily use of mouthwash, the research was dismissed as having no absolute evidence to prove a direct link between mouthwash and cancer. Other researches in this field have suffered a similar fate due to the lack of data recording the frequency, duration of usage, alcohol content and dosage of mouthwash. <span id="more-867"></span>Accordingly, the Cancer Research UK maintains that it cannot be ascertained whether mouthwash does cause cancer in the absence of consistent results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was Dutch psychologists Ad Vingerhoets and Maaike van Huijgevoort who came up with the possible existence of this condition. As the name suggests, this syndrome is characterized by a person falling ill or feeling so only or mostly when he/she is on a vacation or a weekend than when working. Having said that, it can be understood that workaholics may be the group of people who may exhibit the typical trait of the leisure sickness syndrome. According to some people, this condition somehow mimics the condition called Paradise Syndrome. While not officially attributed to be a real psychological condition, here the affected person bears a sense of dissatisfaction despite having accomplished all that he/she desired in life. Apparently, Ad Vingerhoets conducted a survey on about 2000 men and women who carried large workloads and felt very responsible for their work. He found that 3.2% of these people reported to have been suffering from this illness, when they had little to do.</p>
<p>Reported Symptoms</p>
<p>People who were reported to be suffering from this syndrome, exhibited symptoms such as feeling nauseous, experiencing headache, fatigue, migraines, muscular aches and pain, and even common infections such as cold and flu. Research indicates that this condition can have two manifestations. In one type, these symptoms immediately appear when the person shifts from a working environment to a leisure one which could be on a weekend, or may be before a vacation. In another type, this syndrome onsets in people who after giving up a busy life, decide to adopt a slow and quiet one.</p>
<p>What may happen is, when a person is overloaded with work, his/her body adapts itself to the stress. But the moment, the same person tries to make a transition to a relaxed setting such as a weekend, the body thinks that it is a let-down response thus, triggering stress and the symptoms mentioned above.</p>
<p>It has been reported that about 3% of both men and women seem to be affected by the syndrome. And this 3% consist of people bearing characteristics such as perfectionism, eagerness to always stay ahead in the race, over-developed sense of responsibility; in short, driven personalities. It may be said that, the immune system of such people works better when they are coping with stress in their work environment.<span id="more-860"></span></p>
<p>What Could be Done</p>
<p>Leisure sickness syndrome is a newly coined term in medical science, and since its reputation is not recognized as medically relevant, any specific treatment is out of expectation. But one logical solution, or let&#8217;s say treatment for this condition is returning to the job a person enjoys or getting himself/herself more involved. And nothing beats the benefits of exercise. If someone feels that he/she is not at ease or getting ill when on a vacation, then what best can be done is to indulge in exercise. This would not only keep the person engaged but also help in reducing negative stress.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The birth control ring is a hormonal contraceptive, which when placed inside a woman&#8217;s body, releases the hormones estrogen and progestin. These hormones not only prevent ovulation, but also thin out the lining of the uterus, making it nearly impossible for an egg to implant itself to the uterus, and bring about a change in the cervical mucus by thickening it, which does not allow sperm to pass into the uterus. They also bring about a change in the composition of the mucus, which refrains the sperm from permeating the egg.</p>
<p>Once you start using the ring, you should continue to use it for three consecutive weeks, and then discard it. Start using a new ring after exactly one week, during which you will most likely get your period. In the event the ring is outside your body for more than three hours at a stretch during the three weeks, its effectiveness decreases even after you insert it back and it may not protect you against a pregnancy. In such a case, you need to use another form of contraception for a week even after you reinsert it.</p>
<p>Advantages<br />
The advantages far outweigh its risks, hence, is quite a suitable contraceptive. Let&#8217;s understand how beneficial it is in terms of a woman&#8217;s health.<br />
•It works well for women who find it hard to remember to pop a pill everyday. It is much easier to use the ring as you need to insert it just once a month.<br />
•The ring exposes the body to a lesser dose of hormones, as compared to the birth control pill, and is equally effective.<br />
•Women experience shorter and pain-free periods once they are on the birth control ring. This also significantly reduces the chances of women suffering from iron deficiency and anemia, two of the most common causes of constant fatigue and weakness.<br />
•Regular use of the ring can help clear up acne.<br />
•The birth control ring proves to be very effective at preventing an ectopic pregnancy, since it inhibits ovulation. An ectopic pregnancy can, in some cases, prove fatal to the mother.<span id="more-857"></span><br />
•It greatly reduces the chances of ovarian and endometrial cancer. It also reduces pain and inflammation of the pelvis, and chances of developing benign breast and ovarian cysts.<br />
•A possible health benefit is an increase in bone mineral density, which decreases the chances of getting osteoporosis.<br />
Disadvantages<br />
A commonly reported disadvantage is that the ring sometimes falls out of place, but this is not of any serious concern as it can be reinserted without much of a problem. The other major disadvantage is that the ring does not protect against sexually transmitted diseases.</p>
