Coeliac Disease

    This week's disease is coeliac disease, or as it is spelled in North America; Celiac Disease. The other names; sprue, gluten intolerance, gluen-sensitive enteropathy.
    What is coeliac disease?
    It is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestine, an allergy to gluten. The hypersensitivity causes an inflammation in the small intestine tissue, and prevents it to absorbe the nutrients that are lethally important to stay healthy and alive. The damage occurs due to the reaction in small intestines to the substance gluten, a protein which is found in wheat, barley, rye and oats.
    What are the causes?
    Actually, the exact cause is unknown. The lining of small intestines called villus (villi in plural), that are increasing the surface area of the intestine, so we can absorbe the nutrients. A person with celiac disease eats a food that contains gluten, his or her immune system reacts the nutrient by damaging villi. And the intestine becomes unabled to absorb the nutrients properly. As a result, the person becomes malnourished, whatever he or she eats. Gluten sensitive enteropathy can develop in any point of life. Any point an infant to a very old person. It is genetically predisposed. Ten percent of the persons who have the disease, has a family member who has the same condition. It is thirty percent in twins.

   In the picture, you see acomparison of the normal small intestine tissue and a celiac diseased s.i.t.
   
    What are the symptoms?
    Abdominal pain, gas or/and indigestion
    Constipation
    Decreased appetite
    Lactose intolerance (can be cured with a treatment, and i'll talk about the loctose intolerance after)
    Vomiting
    And the children characteristically would be growing slower and have a shorter height for their age
   What are the tests?
    Albumin may be low
    Alkaline phosphatase may be high as asign of bone loss
    Clotting factor abnormalities
    For seeing the anemia a complete blood count may be wanted.
   What is the treatment?
    Unfortunately, the gluten-sensitive enteropathy cannot be cured. However, there is a diet style called gluten-free diet. And with a lifelong gluten-free diet you and your villi can be saved from all the damage and symptoms of celiac disease. You should not eat foods or take medications that contains gluten that we specified above. And a warning! You are not supposed to begin this diet unless you're exactly diagnosed. It may be a incorrect negativity in the tests.
    How is the prognosis?
    The prognosis is pretty cool. Patients have complete healing. But as the time, it takes two-three years in adult patients.
    How can we prevent?
    As we said above, because the axact cause is unknown, we cannot prevent the development of sprue.
   Thanks to Pubmed Health. Take care. Bye.

A Disease a Day

   I want to start a new sort of content here. I wanna write about diseases. I said "a disease a day" yes, I know that I cannot manage it but it's ok just as an intention. The first writing will be about Celiac Disease. It will be coming soon.
   As a reminder to myself, i am gonna talk about the diseases in an organised way. There will be seven subjects for any disease, by the order; causes, symptoms, tests, treatment, prognosis, complications and prevention.
   And; why am I doing this? Well, I am a student in a Medical School. I want to spend my free time with reminding the diseases and improve my explaining ability about my profession, well my prospective profession, yes.
   Take care. Bye.

What's Up With Arizona

    Hey Arizona, how are you doing? Greetings to Phoenix; one of the largest cities in United States by land area, and good cold evening in there now, and to Tucson, 33rd largest city in the United States; i love the number 33, and to Scottsdale; a desert version of Miami's South Beach as The New York Times says.
    So, it's not going well for AZ in NBA this year, Suns are having an awful season. 36 losses in 54 games! Let's hope the things get better. Last game was with Portland Trail Blazers and it was a narrow win. Tonight they face Golden State Warriors. It would be great to start a winning streak, and a loooong one. Good bye. Take care.

Django Unchained

   1858, two years before civil war. We're goin' to South. And there are a lot of facts for us to face about 19. century's America. Another classic from Quentin Tarantino. 3 hours of greatness, I say. He is unique, really. No director's movies have the taste that Tarantino's movies have. Jamie Foxx, who play Django in the film says; in the set, there is no teamwork; it's all inside Quentin's head.
    Cast is awesome: Jamie Foxx as Django, Cristoph Waltz as Dr. King Schultz, Leonardo DiCaprio as Calvin J. Candie, Kerry Washington as Broomhilda Von Shaft and Samuel L. Jackson as Steven.
    Django is a badass. He is a slave and becomes a bounty hunter under the mentorship of Dr. Schultz who is a German and a dentist. Have you heard of any black bounty hunter before? Well the fastest gun in the south does have a surprise for you.
    The movie has the Tarantino violence itself. Blood throws into the screen. Flesh blowing with bullets. While everything is goin' pretty well, quick tantrums occuring all of a sudden.
     If you're looking for a Western movie and also you want it to talk to you, you want to watch a thrilling adventure but also you want it to mean something and have a modern mouth, this is exactly what you are looking for. Well, Tarantino says that. This is all for me today. Bye.

    And one awkward thing for me in the movie; how and why do a lot of people in the movie spit a huge amount of saliva in the movie? Is this about something in Southern habits? Whatever, you are gonna see alot of blood and saliva. It'll be a bloody good time; enjoy it.
