Overview of Hepatits Types and Treatments

Hepatitis is a term used to describe inflammation of the liver. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including viruses, alcohol consumption, certain medications, autoimmune diseases, and metabolic disorders. The most common cause of hepatitis is viral infections. There are several types of viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, each caused by a different virus.

1- Hepatitis A (HAV): Typically resolves with supportive care and can be prevented with vaccination.

2- Hepatitis B (HBV): Treatment may include antiviral medications, particularly for chronic cases. Vaccination is available for prevention.

3- Hepatitis C (HCV): Managed with antiviral medications, which are highly effective. Regular monitoring is crucial.

4- Hepatitis D (HDV): Managed by treating underlying hepatitis B infection; specific antiviral drugs for HDV are lacking.

5- Hepatitis E (HEV): Usually self-limiting; supportive care is the main treatment. A vaccine is available in some regions.

08/31/2023

Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the pancreas, an organ located behind the stomach. The pancreas has two main functions: it produces digestive enzymes that help break down food in the small intestine, and it produces hormones like insulin that regulate blood sugar levels.

There are two main types of pancreatic cancer:
* Exocrine Pancreatic Cancer
* Endocrine Pancreatic Cancer

Risk factors for pancreatic cancer include:
* Age
* Smoking
* Family history
* Obesity
* Diabetes
* Chronic pancreatitis
* Certain inherited gene mutations

Symptoms of pancreatic cancer may include abdominal pain, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), unexplained weight loss, loss of appetite, nausea, changes in stool color, and new-onset diabetes.

🌟 Exploring Leukonychia: What Can White Nails Tell Us? 🌟

Have you ever noticed white spots or streaks on your nails? 🤔 That's called Leukonychia, and it can provide interesting insights into your health! 💅🔍

🔬 Leukonychia comes in two types:
1️⃣ True Leukonychia: Small white spots due to minor trauma or calcium deficiency.
2️⃣ Apparent Leukonychia: Wider white bands indicating issues like zinc deficiency, liver problems, or an allergic reaction.

🚨 While most cases are harmless, consistent and extensive leukonychia might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Remember, our nails can sometimes act as messengers for our internal well-being! 🩺💚

THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERGOING PAP TEST

A Pap test, also known as a Pap smear, is a screening test used to detect cervical cancer and abnormal changes in the cells of the cervix. It involves collecting a sample of cells from the cervix using a small brush or spatula, which is then examined in a laboratory. The test aims to identify early signs of cervical cancer or precancerous conditions, allowing for timely treatment and prevention. It is recommended as a routine screening test for women starting at the age of 21 or within three years of becoming sexually active. Regular Pap tests have contributed to a significant reduction in the incidence and mortality rates of cervical cancer.

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT CANKER SORES

Canker sores, also called aphthous ulcers, are small, painful sores that appear inside the mouth on the lips, cheeks, on the gums, and tongue.

WHY DO WE GET CANKER SORES?

No one knows exactly what causes most canker sores, but we know they're not contagious and can't be spread through saliva.

They can be the result of an injury, like when you accidentally bite your cheek or when braces catch or rub against the inside of the cheeks or back of the lips, but often they appear seemingly out of nowhere.

They can be triggered by a number of things, like a weak immune system, dehydration, allergies, stress, and even medication.

OTHER COMMON CAUSES OF CANKER SORES:
- Hormonal shifts during menstrual cycle
- Sensitivity to chocolate, coffee, strawberries, eggs, nuts, cheese, or spicy or acidic foods
- A diet lacking in vitamin B-12, zinc, folic acid, or iron
- Toothpaste containing sodium lauryl sulfate
- Genetics

WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER SKIP YOUR ANNUAL PHYSICAL

When it comes to looking after our health, we tend to ignore going in for a check-up until we feel a tickle in our throat, need an X-ray, or experience unusual symptoms. However, if something is seriously wrong, you might not know it until you go in for a physical. 

Here are five reasons you shouldn’t skip your annual physical. 

1. Early detection
If there’s something wrong, the results of your physical can help catch the problem early on, when it’s easier to treat.

2. Patient history
Physicals establish your patient history, a record of your health and any changes over the years. 

3. Communication
Your physical is a chance to discuss concerns with your doctor, particularly ones that didn’t warrant a visit on their own. 

4. Updated vaccinations
If you need any new immunizations, your annual physical is likely when you’ll receive them. 

5. Predictive health
During these visits, your doctor can use your family history, lifestyle, and test results to identify possible health risks, so you stay healthy in the future.

06/15/2023

THE IMPORTANCE OF TAKING SCREEN BREAKS
When using devices with screens, your eyes stay in a fixed position for a period of time, which can lead to eye strain, fatigue, and headaches. Taking regular screen breaks will help minimize these issues and give your eyes a chance to rest by focusing on something else. Also, taking screen breaks gives you the chance to get up, move around, stretch, cross something off of your to-do list, and readjust your posture. Screen breaks can additionally help you mentally refocus before returning to the task you were working on. For children and teens especially, substantial screen breaks provide an opportunity to spend their time doing something away from their devices.

If you’re using a computer or tablet for an extended period of time, such as answering emails or being on a Zoom meeting, we recommend the 20-20-20 rule as the bare minimum for your breaks. This method does not require you to move away from your device, which can be helpful if you’re in the middle of an important project or meeting. The 20-20-20 rule states that every 20 minutes, you need to look at something approximately 20 feet away for 20 full seconds. This could be something across the room or out a window! Looking at something further away than your screen can lessen eye strain and allow you to refocus. You can also use this time to check and correct your posture. To have a more beneficial screen break while working, try getting up from your seat for at least 5-10 minutes every hour. Stretch your arms and legs, grab a snack or beverage, or even go outside for a few minutes to get a change of environment. If you are feeling stressed or anxious, some deep breathing exercises or meditation may be helpful.

Health Canada Decision on Oral COVID-19 Drugs Likely Weeks Away 🇨🇦

💊The antiviral pills, known as Paxlovid & Molnupiravir, will be available by prescription only for those with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 who are at high risk for becoming severely ill, including hospitalization or death

🔸This includes older people and those with other health conditions like heart disease, cancer or diabetes that make them more vulnerable

🔸Both drugs inhibit viral replication, but in very different ways

PAXLOVID

▪️Paxlovid is a combination of two antiviral pills

▪️Results from the 2,246 -person clinical trial found it was 88% effective at preventing hospitalizations or deaths due to COVID-19 when compared to placebo

Limitations

▪️Drug interactions: certain people may be unable to safely take Paxlovid (with liver & kidney issues)

▪️the component ritonavir can also result in the elevation of the blood levels of other drugs people might be taking, possibly to dangerous levels
(e.g. blood thinners, antiarrhythmics & blood pressure medications)

MOLNUPIRAVIR

▪️Molnupiravir trial showed a 30% reduction in hospitalizations & death

▪️NO known drug interactions

Bottom Line

✅ Paxlovid & Molnupiravir are the first two oral medications available for treating mild or moderate COVID-19 in high-risk people

✅ should be started within 5 days of first feeling symptoms

✅ are in limited supply & so health care providers will need to determine the best course of treatment for patients based on eligibility criteria

✅ can be taken at home & hopefully will help reduce the significant pressures facing our healthcare & hospital systems

‼️Neither medication is a substitute for vaccination in individuals for whom COVID-19 vaccine & a booster dose are recommended ‼️

Early indications suggest rapid tests work on Omicron but only if your viral load is high at the time.
You need to reach a certain threshold before any test — PCR or rapid — can detect your infection.
Experts recommend isolating first, then taking at least two rapid tests, spaced a day or two apart.

During the holidays season it’s important to remind everyone what symptoms of COVID-19 are. While vaccination (and boosters) is our first line of prevention, there is always a risk you may get ill. That risk is substantially higher if you remain unvaccinated.

With Omicron, there has been some speculation that the symptoms are different than that of previous variants, but in reality, there is quite a bit of commonality.

According to data from South Africa and the US, the most common symptoms of COVID-19 due to the Omicron variant are: sore or scratchy throat, cough, fatigue, and congestion or runny nose.

There have been some early reports that unvaccinated individuals who get Omicron more frequently develop shortness of breath and difficulty breathing, as well as fever, when compared to vaccinated individuals.

Of course, there are also other, less common, symptoms of COVID-19 that may be present as well, such as GI symptoms, body aches, and in more severe cases, bluish lips/skin, pneumonia, and chest pain.

If you present with early symptoms consistent with COVID-19, consider getting tested as soon as possible.

A new variant of COVID-19 that has been detected in South Africa is a "cause for concern," top virologists have warned.

The B.1.1.529 variant, named 'Omicron' by the World Health Organization (WHO), has been described as having an "extremely high" number of mutations, according to South African scientists who first detected the Beta variant.

The strain has been detected in a number of coronavirus cases in South Africa and is now believed to be in Europe.

The WHO subsequently classified the new Omicron strain as a "variant of concern" today.

It is as yet unclear how effective vaccines will be against it.

Health Canada has just authorized the use of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine for kids 5-11.
Health Canada has placed terms and conditions requiring Pfizer-BioNTech to continue providing information to Health Canada on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine in this younger age group. This will provide the Department with more data from ongoing studies and real-world use to ensure that the benefits of the vaccine continue to outweigh any risks, as well as to detect any potential new safety signals in any age group.
