Diarrhea refers to loose stools or an increase in the frequency of passing stools. There is a loss of bodily fluids when diarrhea occurs and this can result in dehydration and imbalance of electrolyte levels. In some cases symptoms such as abdominal pain, headache, fever and vomiting may accompany diarrhea. It is a common condition and most individuals experience it at some point in their lives. Diarrhea mostly occurs due to viral or bacterial infection and may be acute or chronic. The infection usually occurs when you consume contaminated food or beverages. Disorders of the intestine and allergies may also lead to diarrhea.

Symptoms of Diarrhoea

The most common symptoms of diarrhea include:

Acute diarrhea usually subsides within a couple of days. In case the symptoms persist or become aggravated, it is essential to seek medical care. Some of the more serious symptoms of diarrhea include:

In case there is passage of black stools, it may be indicative of bleeding in the stomach or upper intestine. Individuals, who suffer from kidney or heart disease, should seek quick medical attention when diarrhea occurs.

Causes of Diarrhoea

The most common causes of diarrhea are as follows:

Bacteria: Various types of bacteria may be responsible for causing diarrhea. These bacteria are usually present in contaminated food and water. Some examples of bacteria that cause diarrhea are salmonella, campylobacter and E. coli.
Viruses: Herpes simplex virus, rotavirus and Norwalk virus are some of the viruses that cause diarrhea.
Parasites: These can cause infection in the digestive system when they enter the body through food and water.

Intolerance to Certain Foods: Some individuals cannot digest the components present in certain foods. Lactose allergy is one of the most common food allergies.
Medications: The intake of certain medications can result in adverse reactions in the body. Many individuals react in this manner to antibiotics or medications used to treat hypertension.
Diseases: Conditions that affect the intestine such as celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease usually trigger diarrhea.

Bowel Disorders: Irritable bowel syndrome and other conditions that hamper the functioning of the intestine commonly cause bouts of diarrhea.
Hormone Disorders: Conditions that arise due to hormonal imbalances such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes can also lead to diarrhea.
Cancer: One of the symptoms of bowel cancer is diarrhea.
Remedies for Diarrhoea

It is important to consult your doctor for diarrhea treatment in case the symptoms are severe. Quick medical attention is also necessary in case of diarrhea in infants and young children. The treatment for diarrhea will depend on the underlying cause and may include the intake of oral rehydration drinks, medications to relieve pain and anti-nausea medications. In severe cases, intravenous fluid replacement may become necessary. Anti-diarrhea drugs are helpful in alleviating the symptoms; however you should consult your doctor before taking them. Treatment of diarrhea may also involve treatment for the underlying disorder, such as Crohns disease, or Ulcerative Colitis or infections.

There are also some natural ways to treat diarrhea symptoms. Some common home remedies for diarrhea include:

Herbs such as chamomile and thyme are known to help in relieving diarrhea. You may use them in the form of tinctures, pills or teas.

Some studies have found that an arrowroot solution prepared with boiled water, or simply a glass of tender coconut juice could help alleviate the symptoms. In the same study, like arrowroot, a water based solution with African finger millet was also tested and the findings indicate that all of these solutions decreased water loss induced by a cholera infection, while instead increasing water absorption.
Turmeric helps to destroy bacteria and thus helps in treating infection. Add one teaspoon of turmeric to warm water and drink.

To treat dehydration caused by diarrhea, add a little salt to the juice of bitter gourd and drink.
To reduce abdominal cramps arising from diarrhea, add half a teaspoon each of lemon juice and ginger juice to black pepper powder. Consume the mixture thrice daily.

Indian gooseberry serves as an effective diarrhea treatment. Add a pinch of black salt to half a teaspoon of Indian gooseberry powder and consume after meals.
Mashed apples are known to be a beneficial food for those with diarrhea.
The herb goldenseal helps to kill the bacteria that cause diarrhea. It contains berberine which has antibiotic properties. It is available in the form of capsules and you can take a couple of goldenseal capsules a day until the condition is resolved.

Black tea contains beneficial tannins which help to alleviate inflammation and infection in the intestines. You can add some sugar to the tea since it helps to enhance the absorption of water and sodium.
Blackberries also contain tannins which help in naturally treating diarrhea. Add some dried leaves of blackberry to boiling water, steep for about ten minutes and then filter. Drink about three cups of this tea daily. You can also boil fresh blackberries in water and drink the solution after straining.
Black seed oil is known to help in treating diarrhea. Add one teaspoon of black seed oil to a cup of yogurt and consume twice daily.

To reduce pain and cramps, soak a small towel in warm water and place it over your abdomen. The heat will help to relieve cramping and muscle spasms.
Do keep in mind, that while many of these remedies can help reduce the discomfort of diarrhea and hasten recovery, not all of them will be equally effective in all situations and for everyone. Many of these home remedies have also not been researched adequately.

Diet for Diarrhoea

Your diet, quite naturally, has a direct influence on the outcome of the condition and it would be absolutely necessary for you to adhere strictly to the dietary recommendations given to you by your doctor. You can also incorporate some of these diet tips to help with the recovery:

Diarrhea can be alleviated by following a diet comprising of foods such as ginger, garlic, cumin, fennel, carom seeds, buttermilk and bananas.
Drink fruit juices such as orange and pomegranate juices.
Doctors usually recommend eating bananas, rice, toast, yogurt, tea and applesauce during bouts of diarrhea. These foods help to regulate bowel movements by making the stools firmer. Stick to a diet comprising mainly of these foods until the symptoms subside. You can then slowly progress to eating foods such as rice cereal, crackers, baked fish and steamed vegetables.
Probiotics contain ‘good’ bacteria that help to alleviate diarrhea. Consume foods containing probiotics such as yogurt and cheese.

Avoid eating foods that are high in sugar, spices and oil. Also avoid those foods which are difficult to digest.
Avoid eating foods which are high in fiber as it is difficult for the stomach to digest them properly.
Suggestions for Diarrhoea

Some people find benefits in alternative therapies. The most common alternative treatments for diarrhea include:

Acupuncture: Stimulating certain points in the body may help to reduce discomfort and improve functioning of the digestive system.

Aromatherapy: The use of essential oils helps to relieve different ailments, including intestinal problems. The oils may be used in a diffuser or during massage therapy.
Meditation: Relaxing the body through meditation helps to reduce anxiety and stress.
Yoga: Certain yoga poses help to stimulate and strengthen the stomach and intestines.

It turns out there are. Researchers have done a lot of work in recent years looking at the signs and symptoms patients experienced in the months or even years leading up to a heart attack. “The heart, together with the arteries that feed it, is one big muscle, and when it starts to fail the symptoms can show up in many parts of the body,” says cardiologist Jonathan Goldstein of Saint Michael’s Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey. Here are seven surprising clues that your heart needs a check. Any of these signs — and particularly two or more together — should send you to the doctor for tests.

Sexual problems

Something cardiologists know but the average guy doesn’t: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is one of the best early tip-offs to progressive heart disease. “Today, any patient who comes in with ED should be considered a cardiovascular patient until proven otherwise,” says Goldstein. In women, reduced blood flow to the genital area can impede arousal, make it harder to reach orgasm, or make orgasms less satisfying.

Scary stat: Researchers at the Mayo clinic followed men ages 40-49 with erectile dysfunction and found they were twice as likely to develop heart disease as those with no sexual health problems. Another study looked backward and found that two out of three men being treated for cardiovascular disease had suffered from erectile dysfunction, often for years, before they were diagnosed with heart trouble.

Why it happens: Narrowing and hardening of the arteries restricts blood flow to the penis, which can give men trouble when it comes to getting or keeping an erection. And because those arteries are smaller than the ones leading to the heart, erectile dysfunction can occur before any other sign of artery stiffness. Lack of oxygen can also lead to ongoing fatigue and weakness, which can sabotage libido, so lack of desire may accompany lack of success.

What to do: If you or your partner has difficulty getting or maintaining an erection or has problems with sexual satisfaction, that’s reason enough to visit your doctor to investigate cardiovascular disease as an underlying cause. Get a full workup to assess possible causes of erectile dysfunction or difficulty with orgasm. (Guys, see your GP, not just a urologist; gals, don’t just see an ob/gyn.) If your doctor doesn’t mention heart tests, request them.

Snoring, Sleep Apnea

If you snore loudly enough to keep your sleeping partner awake or to force him or her to resort to earplugs, your heart may be at risk as well. Restricted breathing during sleep — the underlying cause of snoring — is linked with all types of cardiovascular disease. Sleep apnea, in which breathing briefly stops during sleep, is linked with a higher risk of both cardiovascular disease and heart attack.

Scary stat: Those with sleep apnea were found to have three times the normal risk of having a heart attack within five years.

Why it happens: Sleep-disordered breathing, which includes sleep apnea and a lesser condition known as UARS, lowers the blood oxygen that feeds the heart. Obstructive sleep apnea is thought to damage the right side of the heart, which has to pump harder to support the lungs, which are strained by trying to overcome the airway obstruction.

What to do: Any sleep-related breathing problem is a clue that something’s wrong, so call the doctor. She may recommend a sleep study, but get your heart checked out too.

Sore, swollen, or bleeding gums

Sore, swollen, or bleeding gums are symptoms not only of periodontal disease — in which exposure to bacteria causes the gums to become inflamed and pull away from the teeth — but also a possible early sign of underlying cardiovascular disease.

Scary stat: A 2010 study by the American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) estimated that the prevalence of periodontal disease may be underestimated by as much as 50 percent.

Why it happens: Experts believe that poor circulation due to heart disease could be an underlying cause of periodontal disease. Researchers are also studying whether a common bacteria is involved in both gum disease and plaque buildup inside coronary arteries.
What to do: See a dentist to treat gum disease and prevent the presence of bacteria. Because gum disease can be a red flag for inflammation and circulatory problems, ask your doctor if ongoing gum symptoms warrant a checkup.

Puffy or Swollen Legs

If you notice that your feet swell enough to make your shoes tight; your ankles, wrists, or fingers are noticeably puffy; or there are deep pressure marks or indents when you take off socks or hose, you may have a problem with fluid retention. Also called edema, fluid retention can be a sign of coronary artery disease (CAD), heart failure, and other forms of cardiovascular disease.

Scary stat: More than 80 million people have one or more forms of cardiovascular disease, and approximately 900,000 people die from it each year.

Why it happens: Fluid retention occurs when the heart doesn’t pump strongly enough and blood doesn’t carry waste products away from tissues. Edema usually starts in the feet, ankles, fingers, hands, and legs because they’re furthest from the heart, where circulation is poorer.

What to do: Report problems with edema to your doctor, who can run tests that may indicate CAD and can determine if your heart function is normal.

Shortness of Breath

An early sign that something is wrong with a major bodily system is shortness of breath, typically with exercise, exertion, and stress. (Typically, shortness of breath indicates either early-stage heart disease or early-stage lung disease, and it’s not possible to know which it is without seeing a doctor.) It may feel like you can’t catch your breath, or you may notice a feeling of compression in the chest and lungs, making it difficult to take a deep breath. Another breathing symptom of poor circulation may be labored breathing, which occurs when fluid accumulates in the lungs. If you notice that your breathing problems are worse at night or anytime you lie down, that can also indicate a heart problem.

Scary stat: In a landmark study by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Institute, 95 percent of women who’d had heart attacks reported experiencing unusual symptoms in the weeks and months before the attack, and 40 percent reported shortness of breath.

Why it happens: When your heart isn’t pumping strongly enough, less oxygen circulates in your blood. The result is shortness of breath; you might feel like you do at high altitude or when you’ve run for the bus, unable to draw enough oxygen into your lungs.

What to do: Shortness of breath, either with exercise and stress or all the time, is always a reason to see the doctor for a checkup, since it can be a symptom of a number of serious conditions.

Constriction or aching in the chest or shoulder

The most common symptom of coronary artery disease (CAD) is angina, a type of chest pain. Angina (officially called angina pectoris) is different from the sharp clutching pain of a heart attack; it’s likely to feel like a deep ache or a constriction or weight on the chest, and it may worsen when you draw in a breath. One of the reasons angina is often missed is that it feels different to different people; to some it’s more of a heaviness, fullness, or pressure rather than pain. It can also be mistaken for indigestion or heartburn when the pain occurs lower down in the abdominal area. The tightness, constriction, or pain may also occur in the shoulder, neck, jaw, arm, or upper back, where it may be mistaken for a pulled muscle.

A tip-off to angina versus a pulled muscle or gastrointestinal problem is that you’re likely to experience the problem repeatedly rather than to have one isolated or prolonged episode.

Scary stat: According to the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 17 million people are living with angina. Cases of angina are divided almost equally between men and women, with men being slightly more at risk.

Why it happens: When plaque builds up in the coronary arteries, it deprives the heart muscle of blood, making it feel squeezed. Most people with stable angina find that episodes are most often triggered by anything that puts an additional strain on the heart, such as exercise or stress.

What to do: If you’re diagnosed with angina, your doctor will recommend resting when episodes occur; or she may prescribe nitroglycerin, which relaxes the coronary arteries and other blood vessels, increasing blood supply to the heart and easing its workload.

“In your lifetime or my lifetime, we may be able to have a vaccine capable of stopping this terrible disease,” says Vincent Tuohy, PhD, at the Cleveland Clinic. After 11 years, his dream to develop a breast cancer vaccine is coming to fruition.

“We came up with this idea in 2002 when we realized we have this enormous deficiency in our healthcare system. We have a wonderful childhood vaccine program that protects us,”. “Yet we reach our adult years and face all these adult-onset cancers like breast cancer, ovarian cancer and prostate cancer.”
This led him to his groundbreaking finding: a single vaccine could prevent breast cancer tumors from occurring in mice genetically bred to develop the disease as well as stop the growth of already present breast cancer tumors. The research was published in 2010 in the journal Nature Medicine.

For the past three years, Dr. Tuohy and his colleagues have built upon that breakthrough. “I refer to it as my retired protein hypothesis,” he says. “With age, we retire proteins. They are no longer being made and almost every tissue goes through this process.” Think of it as grey hair: hair turns white because the pigment units in the follicle retire. This is what happens in the breast; certain proteins retire except that they can be rejuvenated by tumor tissue. “We identified a protein—more than one protein actually—that is overexpressed in the most aggressive form of breast cancer called triple negative breast cancer,” Dr. Tuohy says. The vaccine would be made up of these proteins, which would provide the immune system the ability to be pre-emptive against emerging breast tumors.

Triple negative breast cancer is the most lethal form; it kills women at a three-fold greater rate than all other forms of breast cancer. It is highly aggressive and it recurs very rapidly with a very poor five-year overall survival rate compared to other breast cancers. What’s more: it is the most predominant form of breast cancer that occurs in high-risk patients with BRCA-1 mutations, who also have an 80% chance of getting breast cancer in their lifetime, Dr. Tuohy says. This perfect storm of breast cancer provides the team with the clinical trial population to determine safety and efficacy.

There will be two Phase I trial groups. “The first trial is the treatment arm where we will be testing the vaccine on women who already have triple negative breast cancer and have recovered. It is designed mostly, primarily, for safety and dosage. We need to determine the dosage in this population; the right dose that gives us the right immune response,” Dr. Tuohy explains. “We can see in that population, hopefully, whether or not our vaccine prevents or significantly delays the development of breast cancer in this high risk population.”

For the second trial, Dr. Tuohy and colleagues hope to recruit some of the women who voluntarily undergo prophylactic mastectomies to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. They will ask these women a few months prior to their procedure if they will be willing to be vaccinated. Then upon their mastectomy, Dr. Tuohy and his team will examine the tissue to see if the vaccine did any damage to the normal healthy tissues and ducts. “It is more of a safety trial after we have determine the right dose.”

Recruitment for Phase I testing will be done at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland. But for Phase 2 and, definitely Phase 3, there will be multicenter trials involving several sites where people can be recruited. “We don't want to go into what will and won't go into the inclusion or exclusion of subjects right now because that won't happen for another five years,” he says.

Yes, it will be five years before a breast cancer vaccine will see rounds of clinical trials that determine effectiveness. All in all, a breast cancer vaccine will not be publicly available for at least 10 years.

“It takes at least 10 years to develop a drug,” Dr. Tuohy says. “That is the reality. I didn't make the rules.”

Hypocalcemia does not occur in breast-fed infants because of the lower phosphate content of breast milk compared to formula; breast milk has about 140 mg/L of phosphorus and current standard formula has at least twice as much phosphorus.

The inappropriate use in a neonate of whole cow's milk, which has 956 mg/L of phosphorus, can cause hyperphosphatemia and secondary hypocalcemia.

Smoking cigarettes, pipes, or cigars is the most common cause of lung cancer. The earlier in life a person starts smoking, the more often a person smokes, and the more years a person smokes, the greater the risk of lung cancer. If a person has stopped smoking, the risk becomes lower as the years pass.

Anything that increases your chance of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn’t mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk.

Risk factors for lung cancer include the following:
-Smoking cigarettes, pipes, or cigars, now or in the past.
-Being exposed to second-hand smoke.
-Being treated with radiation therapy to the breast or chest.
-Being exposed to asbestos, radon, chromium, nickel, arsenic, soot, or tar.
-Living where there is air pollution.
-When smoking is combined with other risk factors, the risk of lung cancer is increased.

Possible signs of non-small cell lung cancer include a cough that doesn't go away and shortness of breath.
Sometimes lung cancer does not cause any symptoms and is found during a chest x-ray done for another condition. Symptoms may be caused by lung cancer or by other conditions.

Check with your doctor if you have any of the following problems:
Chest discomfort or pain.
A cough that doesn’t go away or gets worse over time.
Trouble breathing.
Wheezing.
Blood in sputum (mucus coughed up from the lungs).
Hoarseness.
Loss of appetite.
Weight loss for no known reason.
Feeling very tired.
Trouble swallowing.
Swelling in the face and/or veins in the neck.

Do The Diet
You can never really have a healthy heart if you don’t exercise dietary discipline. A diet high in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids, and low on refined sugars and trans fats is what will help you get to a healthy heart and lowered cholesterol. Cutting out the obvious like deep-fried foods, steak dinners, pizzas, etc. is the only way for you to arrive at a healthy heart. As far what you should be eating goes, eating salmon, a fish that is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, will help decrease your chances of death via a coronary artery disease. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables too. This will help keep your weight and blood pressure under control.

Say No To Alcohol
You probably knew this, but have never chosen to limit your intake of alcohol. Alcohol by itself is not bad, it’s only when people have a drink too many on a daily basis that alcohol tends to reveal its ugly side. Excessive consumption of alcohol can result in high blood pressure and at times even a heart failure. However, alcohol consumed in moderation can be effective in increasing good cholesterol.

Stop Stress
Everyone’s life is prone to stress, only varying degrees of the same. This only means that as an individual you have got to muster the courage to learn how to keep ‘stress levels’ well below the limits of harm. People who stress about the silliest of things and even more about significant issues tend to smoke, drink, and overeat. This only leads to a vicious cycle, the end of which leads to a heart attack. The only way to get out of this vicious cycle is to stop stressing and take life as easy it’s supposed to be taken.

Sleep On It 
Has someone ever told you that sleep is bad for you? No? Well, that is because sleep is only good for you. It is the only way your body recovers from what could have been an extremely tiring day. Sleep as a basic function of life not only improves your ability to perform basic and complex tasks, but also increases heart health and even does wonders for your mood. Remember this, the more you sleep, the lesser the chances of dying from a heart disease. However, this does not mean you sleep throughout the day. It only means that you at any cost have to get your 8-9 hours of sleep.

Bury The Bud
If you smoke a lot or don’t smoke much but smoke occasionally, this one’s for you. It’s a proven fact that smoking can result in a heart disease. The chances of you having to deal with a heart disease are directly proportionate to the number of cigarettes you smoke. So, remember the next time the urge to smoke kicks in, kill it by saying NO!

Exercise
Last but not least, physical activity is what should be considered for a hale and healthy heart. Exercising regularly apart from building your strength and endurance also leads to a healthy heart and this is as good as a fact. Remember, it’s called cardio for a reason. Speaking about cardio, make it a point to indulge in activities that challenge your cardiovascular system. Ultimately, it is these challenges that will help you arrive at your ‘hearty’ goals.
