Positive Self-care is vitally important in keeping you at your best physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Make sure your medical providers are aware of any family risk factors so that there is a focus on health promotion and disease prevention that is specific to your heath care needs. What does that mean? For example, if the men in your family develop heart conditions in their late 40's and/or early 50's that cause death, that is something you should make your medical provider aware of so that the focus on lifestyle changes can include nutrition, stress management and monitoring of certain blood test. |

Legionnaires' Disease Outbreak! Importance: High : Legionnaires' disease is a severe form of pneumonia — lung inflammation usually caused by infection. Legionnaires' disease is caused by a bacterium known as legionella. Legionella bacteria is usually found (often in harmlessly low numbers) in sources of water, such as ponds, rivers and lakes. However, the bacteria can rapidly multiply if they find their way into artificial water supply systems, such as air conditioning systems. Most cases of Legionnaires' disease can be traced to whirlpool spas, hot tubs, humidifiers, hot water tanks, cooling towers, and evaporative condensers of large air-conditioning systems. Symptoms usually appear two to 10 days after significant exposure to Legionella bacteria. Legionnaires' disease cannot be spread from person to person. One becomes infected by inhaling mist/water vapor that is contaminated with the Legionella bacteria. If you have respiratory symptoms, such as fever, cough, chills and muscle aches, seek prompt medical attention. Additional symptoms include: headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, confusion and diarrhea. Most cases of Legionnaire's disease can be treated with antibiotics. In some cases, Legionnaires' disease can lead to further, life-threatening problems. Severe infection can cause some organs, such as your lungs or kidneys, to stop working properly. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms you should call your doctor and ask about testing for Legionnaire's disease. Legionnaires' disease can have symptoms like many other forms of pneumonia, so it can be hard to diagnose. Groups at high risk for Legionnaire's disease include:
The best way to prevent an outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease is to ensure that any water system under your control is properly maintained and conforms to relevant health and safety regulations. |

 Cancer is a disease that develops when normal body cells change and begin to grow in an abnormal and uncontrolled way. Most cancers in children, like those in adults, are thought to develop as a result of mutations in genes that lead to uncontrolled cell growth and eventually cancer. Most cancers are initially recognized either because of the appearance of signs or symptoms or through screening. Neither of these lead to a definitive diagnosis, which requires the examination of a tissue sample by a pathologist. The types of cancer that largely affect children include: leukaemias, neuroblastomas, Wilms’ tumours, brain cancers, rhabdomyosarcomas, lymphomas, retinoblastomas, osteosarcomas and Ewing’s sarcomas. People with suspected cancer are investigated with medical tests. These commonly include:
The most common type of childhood cancer is leukemia- a cancer of the blood which begins in the bone marrow, (the spongy substance inside our bones where blood cells are made)The symptoms of these leukemias include:
Brain and central nervous system tumors are the second most common cancers in children. A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in your brain or close to your brain There are many types of brain tumors. The symptoms depend on the location of the tumour, and the treatment and outlook for each is different. As the tumor grows, it creates pressure on and changes the function of surrounding brain tissue,which causes signs and symptoms, such as:
It is upsetting for parents, family, and friends when a child is diagnosed with cancer. People around you feel better when they can do something or provide something you or your family needs. It helps them and you.
While coping with a cancer diagnosis and managing the treatments is painful and challenging, it is important to remember that the majority of children’s cancer patients survive this frightening disease.

Jin-Tai Yu, M.D., Ph.D., an associate specialist in neurology at the University of California, San Francisco, and colleagues reviewed the findings of 323 studies completed between 1968 and 2014. Collectively, the studies involved more than 5,000 patients and looked at 93 conditions with the potential to affect Alzheimer's risk. The team set out to determine which factors appeared to offer some protection against developing Alzheimer's. The
strongest evidence suggested that:
Patients battling several serious health conditions also seemed to see their risk fall, including those with:
By contrast, a complex statistical analysis enabled the research
team to zero in on the nine factors that appeared to elevate Alzheimer's risk
among 66 percent of those who ultimately get the disease. Those include:
Effective interventions in diet, medications, biochemical exposures, psychological condition, pre-existing disease and lifestyle may decrease new incidence of AD. |
