Allergies

Allergies;
            when you have gone to a new place and suddenly you started sneezing, wheezing for no explained reason, and when you went away, your symptoms dissappeared. Did you know why this happened? some of us are sensitive to some particles in the environment.The above mentioned reactions could be because allergy to pollen, mites, etc.
                    The exaggerated response of the immune system to certain antigens present in the environment is called allergy.
                           The substances to which such a immune response is produced are called allergens.
The antibodies produced to these are IgE type. Common examples of allergens are mites in dust, pollens, animal dander, etc. Symptoms of allergic reactions include sneezing, watery eyes, running nose and difficulty in breathing.
Cause; Allergy is due to the release of chemicals like histamine and serotonin from the mast cells.
  Detection and Treatment; For determining the cause of allergy, the patient is exposed to or injected with very small doses of possible allergens, and the reactions studied. The use of drugs like anti-histamine, adrenalin and steroids quickly reduce the symptoms of allergy.
                        Somehow, modern day life style has resulted in lowering of immunity and many more sensitive to allergens.

  Detection and treatment of cancer Early detection of cancers is essential as it allows the disease to be treated successfully in many cases. Cancer detection is based on biopsy and histopathological studies of the tissue and blood and bone marrow tests for increased cell counts in the case of leukemias. Biopsy ; In biopsy, a piece of suspected tissue cut into thin sections is stained and examined under microscope (histopathological studies) by a pathologist . Techniques of detection Techniques like radiography (use of X-rays), CT (computed tomography) and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) are very use full to detect cancer of the internal organs. Computed tomography;   This technique uses X-rays to generate a three dimensional image of the internals of an object. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI);  MRI uses strong magnetic fields and non-ionising radiations to detect accurately pathological and physiological changes in the living tissues. Antibodies against cancer-specifi...

Cancer and its causes

  Cancer Cancer  is one of the most dreaded diseases of human beings and is a major cause of death all over the globe. More than a million Indians suffer from cancer and a large number of them die from it annually.   Causes of cancer;   In our body, cell growth and differentiation is highly controlled and regulated. In cancer cells, there is breakdown of these regulatory mechanisms. Normal cells show a property called cotnact inhibition by virtue of which contact of other cells inhibits their uncontrolled growth. Cancer cells appears to have lost this property. As a result of this, cancerous cells just continue to divide giving rise to masses of cells called tumors. Tumors are of two types;                     1.   Benign tumor and                     2.   Malagnant tumor Transformation of normal cells into cancerous neoplastic cells may b...
