Extractions: Section 3: Aetiology and risk factors Retinal vein occlusion is due to thrombosis of retinal veins (central, hemi or branch) . Established cardiovascular risk factors are the predominant medical associations for both central and branch vein occlusions and are summarised below and include differentiation by age and ethnic groups. ( See table 1 Strength of evidence Hypertension This is the predominant risk factor with up to 64% of patients having hypertension ( Table 1 ) in the older age group (more than 50 years). This is more prevalent in BRVO than CRVO. A new diagnosis or uncontrolled hypertension is a common finding. Inadequately controlled hypertension is associated with recurrence of RVO in the same eye or fellow eye involvement. Diabetes mellitus Diabetes mellitus ( table 1 ) is associated with retinal vein occlusion. This may be due to an increase of other cardiovascular risk factors (e.g. 70% of type II diabetics are hypertensive). Glaucoma Current evidence suggests an association between central retinal vein occlusion and glaucoma. One study suggests that BRVO is associated with glaucoma Thrombophilia Factor V Leiden and other such abnormalities have been implicated in RVO but their aetiology is unclear. Deficiency or abnormal activity of various factors have been identified in patients with RVO including protein S,C, anti-thrombin 3, activated protein C resistance, hyperhomocysteinaemia and the presence of lupus anticoagulant or anti-cardiolipin antibody deficiency.

Iritis Non infectious causes like eye injury, sarcoidoisis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis etc. How do I know it is Iritis? http://members.tripod.com/manisha_b/Iris/iritis.htm
Extractions: Iris Anatomy I ritis Iritis is the inflammation of the iris. If this is associated with inflammation of the choroid, it is called as uveitis (pronounced as you-v-i-tis). Many times retina also gets infected, termed as chorio-retinitis (Pronounced as ko-rio -retinitis) Causes Infections like Tuberculosis, Leprosy, Herpes virus infection, AIDS, Toxoplasmosis etc. Non- infectious causes like eye injury, Sarcoidoisis, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis etc. How do I know it is Iritis? Besides redness, there will be pain in the eye, watering, photophobia (inability to withstand day-light), decreased vision . This tells you that it is not likely to be just Conjunctivitis. To distinguish it from glaucoma, you will have to go to an eye-doctor and get your eye examined. He will take the eye pressure, examine you on the slit-lamp and then will make the diagnosis. Tests are required to know the cause so, treatment can be given accordingly. Blood tests, skin tests, X-ray Chest may be done. Steroid eye drops Any inflammation in the eye will cause scarring, which will hamper vision. To avoid this, the inflammation has to be urgently controlled.
Extractions: Problems of Tuberculosis and Pulmonary Diseases ¹8 2005 Garmash Yu. Yu. A role of social and occupational factors in the development of chronic forms of respiratory sarcoidoisis and its relapses The social status and the presence of occupational and household hazards were analyzed in 134 patients with torpid chronic and undulating course of sarcoidosis lasting 3 years or more to estimate the significance of the above factors when the course of sarcoidosis was poor. The fact that 162 cases of hazards (metals, building materials, wood, textile, and paper dust, smoking, chemical substances, contact with patients with tuberculosis) occurred in 113 patients and 49 of the 134 patients with chronic forms of the disease were exposed to psychoemotional factors suggests that dust substances and chemical elements of different kinds, frequent stressful situations, and the X-ray signs of fibrosis of sarcoidosis-induced changes due to the absence of timely examinations should be regarded as a risk factors of the torpid chronic course of respiratory sarcoidosis (just at the stage of its primary detection).

Previous Next Folic acid and methotrexate for cancer Folate is important for cells and tissues that rapidly divide (2). Cancer cells divide rapidly, and drugs that interfere with folate metabolism are used to treat cancer. Methotrexate is a drug often used to treat cancer because it limits the activity of enzymes that need folate. Unfortunatley, methotrexate can be toxic (45-48), producing side effects such as inflammation in the digestive tract that make it difficult to eat normally. Leucovorin is a form of folate that can help "rescue" or reverse the toxic effects of methotrexate (49). It is not known whether folic acid supplements can help control the side effects of methotrexate without decreasing its effectiveness in chemotherapy (50-51). It is important for anyone receiving methotrexate to follow a medical doctor's advice on the use of folic acid supplements. mboxCreate('fa-widgettest');

Pelvic Inflammatory Disease; Polycystic Ovaries Causes of infertility can be found in about 90% of infertility cases, but despite extensive tests, about 10% of couples will never know why they cannot conceive. Between 10% and 30% of cases of infertility have more than one cause. Male or female infertility each account for about 30% to 40% of cases. In men, sperm defects (their quality and quantity) are usually responsible. Female infertility is more complex. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is the major cause of infertility worldwide. PID comprises a variety of infections caused by different bacteria that affect the reproductive organs, appendix, and parts of the intestine that lie in the pelvic area. The sites of infection most often implicated in infertility are in the fallopian tubes, a specific condition referred to as salpingitis Causes of PID.

Extractions: Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease characterised by the presence of non-caseating granulomas. A granuloma is a collection of inflammatory cells. They may occur in any organ or tissue, but the lungs, eyes and skin are most frequently affected. In most instances, the granulomas will heal with or without treatment. However, if the granulomas do not resolve and the inflammation persists, then scarring (or fibrosis) occurs leading to damage, or rarely failure of the organ involved. Who does it affect? Sarcoidosis is a relatively common condition, which is estimated to affect approximately 1 in 2000 people worldwide. It occurs in all races, but is most often seen in people of Afro-Caribbean, Scandinavian, German, Irish, Peurto Rican and Asian decent. Sarcoidosis affects both sexes and, although it can occur at any age, it most frequently occurs in people aged 20-40years. What causes it? Making a diagnosis can be difficult because the most of the symptoms can occur in a variety of other diseases and are not specific to sarcoidosis. It is therefore possible that it may occasionally be mistaken for other diseases, and vice versa. Although typical combinations of general complaints often raise the possibility of sarcoidosis, the diagnosis is usually confirmed following examination and investigations. What investigations will I require?

Resources Definition Sarcoidosis is a disease which can affect many organs within the body. It causes the development of granulomas. Granulomas are masses resembling little tumors. They are made up of clumps of cells from the immune system. Description Sarcoidosis is a very puzzling disorder. In addition to having no clear-cut understanding of the cause of sarcoidosis, researchers are also puzzled by its distribution in the world population. In the United States, for example, 10-17 times as many African-Americans are affected as white Americans. In Europe, whites are primarily affected. Prevalence is a way of measuring the number of people affected per 100,000 people in a given population. The prevalence figures for sarcoidosis are very unusual. In the United States, prevalence figures range from five (5/100,000 in the United States) for whites to 40 for blacks. In Europe, prevalence ranges from three in Poland, to 10 in France, to 64 in Sweden, to 200 for Irish women living in London. Furthermore, a person from a group with very low prevalence who leaves his or her native land for a second location with a higher prevalence will then have the same risk as anyone living in that second location.
