1. Immunotherapy -A New Way of Fighting Mesotheloma November 12, 2009 Conventional cancer treatments like radiotherapy and chemotherapy are more widely used to treat mesothelioma, but alternative treatments such as immunotherapy are becoming more and popular too. Immunotherapy involves the use and manipulation of a patient's own immune system to help them fight diseases to which the immune system would not normally respond. In the case of mesothelioma and other types of asbestos cancer, the patient's immune response does not typically react or destroy cancer cells for one very important reason: a normal healthy immune system does not recognize cancer c...

2. Back Pain from Joint and Connective Tissue Problems November 12, 2009 the joints connect with tissues that work with the muscles and bones. The joints connect with tissues to conjunction bones and enforce these two bones to move. In short, joints are articulates that rest between "two bone" planes and provides us stability, movement, and controls this range of movement. (ROM) The joints have liners known as synovium. These liners are the inner joint surfaces that secrete fluids, such as synovial and antibodies.

8. Allergies Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention October 22, 2009 Allergy Causes: Our immune system contains two types of lymphocytes (B-cells and T-cells) that protect our body from any external attack. On recognition of a foreign substance, B-cell converts itself into a plasma cell and starts producing antibodies to destroy the foreign particles/substances. The plasma cell produces five basic antibodies which are: IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG and IgM (these antibodies are called Immunoglobulin i.e. Ig) to destroy the foreign substance and antibodies produced by it. Among the antibodies produced by the plasma cell, the antibody that causes allergic reaction is IgE. ... (read more) Author: Prince charm

17. Can Breast Feeding Cause Colic? August 03, 2009 When a newborn baby comes out of the womb, doctors encourage mothers to breastfeed the infant. This is because the milk that comes out has nutrients in the right concentrations. It also has antibodies, which becomes the first line of defense against harmful bacteria and viruses. Studies show that a mother can continue to breastfeed the child until it reaches 4 years of age. But because the teeth have already been developed, many decide to use a pump or change this for artificial milk.

19. Hyperthyroidism in the Form of Graves' Disease - Understanding Graves' Disease August 03, 2009 What is Graves' Disease? One of the most common disorders involving the thyroid is Graves' disease. Since it was first described by the Irish physician Robert James Graves, it has become the leading cause of hyperthyroidism in the world. Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease caused by antibodies that mimic the effects of the hormone thyroid-stimulating hormone produced by the pituitary gland. These antibodies cause the thyroid gland to produce more and more thyroid hormone beyond the normal limits. This causes the body's metabolism to speed up, resulting in the symptoms of hyperthyroid...

Patients with subclinical hypothyroidism have elevated serum levels of the thyroid-stimulating hormone while maintaining normal levels of thyroxine and triiodothyronine and may occur in the presence or absence of thyroid antibodies. A common cause for subclinical hypothyroidism in areas with sufficient iodine sources is Hashimoto’s disease. In Hashimoto’s disease, a... (read more) Author: Ryan English

24. Are People Over 60 Resistant to Swine Flu July 21, 2009 Swine flu is a brand-new disease; but scientists have come quite a way in the one month that the disease has been around, but they do not know everything they need to about it. There is reason to believe today that people in the population over the age of 60 might possibly be less vulnerable to swine flu than younger people. People over 60 are expected to have been exposed to viruses from flu outbreaks in earlier times; this is expected to make them immunologically more resistant to swine flu. Tests undertaken by the CDC on hundreds of senior citizens showed that a third of all people ove... (read more) Author: Linus Orakles
