Brain and Body Scanners (Scan)

A normally inactive gland which after a birth begins to function and produce milk (lactation). Sometimes perseverance is needed before breast feeding is established, and a mother should try because breast milk is best for the infant. It contains valuable substances for warding off infection which cannot be replaced artificially. Where there is a family history of allergy (asthma and eczema), breast feeding may protect the baby against later allergic illness. It should be continued for as long as possible, perhaps up to nine months, although of course other solids may be introduced at four to six months.

Sometimes during lactation germs enter the breast, which becomes painful and inflamed, and a breast abscess (see ABSCESS) may develop. This is usually preceded by a sore, creaced nipple; modern sprays and careful drying after washing with plain water should present this condition but if it does occur seek medical advice at the onset so that abscess formation is prevented. Antibiotics can cure at this sage and Brest feeding continues. If an abscess does develop, hot poultices may be applie as an emergency, but urgent medical advice is required.

Any lump in the breast, or problem; at any age, calls for medical advice. Self- examination of the breasts Examine your breasts regularly, at the same time each month, e.g. the day after your period ceases. If you have passed the “change of life”, the first day of the calendar month.

Examine the upper part of the breast, including the armpit, then the lower and central parts of the breast.

With your right hand, examine the whole of your left breast, as shown in the diagrams, starting at the armpit. Then examine the right breast with the left hand. It is important to use the flat of your hand, keeping your finger tips held lightly together, making sure that the finger tips, the most sensitive part of the hand, follow the same path as the flat of your hand.

Should you find a lop in the breast, or any of the following “warning signs”, which was not present last month, go to your doctor and say “I have a lump in my breast” or “There is something wrong which I was not aware of last month”.

Tell him carefully what difference you have noticed, and ask his advice. Through lack of knowledge some women only report to their doctor when a lump or swelling in the beast has been present a long time. The following point may be “warning sings” that something could be wrong: A lump or swelling in the breast. Pain in the breast, not confined to a before a period. A stained discharge from the maple, or skin trouble around the nipple, or a “puling in” of the nipple. An alteration in the appearance of the breast, e.g. dimpling or puckering of the skin. A change in shape or size of one breast, compared with the other breast, which has occurred during the month. Most of the above symptoms require specialist investigation.

Tests include special X-rays and drawing off fluid if it is a cystc swelling. If three jis a doubt, the specialist will wish to remove the lump. Often the lump is removed and the test is reported as satisfactory. Many surgeons now believe that wide excision of a malignant lump is as effective as mastectomy (removal of breast). Discuss available treatment with your doctor or surgeon before operation.

The operation of mastectomy is not very serious although the psychological blow is immense. The Mastectomy Association, of Corydon, London, formed by women who have had this operation, gives general advice and support.
The patient is fitted with an artificial breast and special bra as soon as possible and again the mastectomy Association can often help with any problems. Radiotherapy and drugs may be given after operation if your specialist feels this necessary. Careful follow-up is needed and the patient should never lose touch with her specialist unless discharged.

The outlook can be good if the lump is caught early. I know several sprightly eighty year-olds who had sucessfuli operations thirty years ago. Information on self-examination of the breasts courtesy of South-west Thames Regional Cancer Services.

Blood Pressure
Posted in B - Health Care, Man Health, Medical dictionary, Mental Health, Sleep on 11 July 2007

The heart is a specially adapted muscle which pumps blood through blood vessels around the body. This results in the blood being under pressure, and since the vessels become hardened with age, and have less “give”, the blood pressure tends to rise. It is thus normal to have a rather higher blood presume at sixty than at twenty. At an earlier age in certain conditions, kidney disease, gland disease, and sometimes for no apparent reason, the pressure may rise to dangerous levels. The chief rises are that the heart may be unable to cope or a blood vessel may burst in some organ such as the brain (see STROKE).

Even in normal persons the pressure varies greatly and there is a wide margin of increased pressure varies greatly and there is a wide margin of increased pressure that the heart and vessels can deal with without great danger. Lay people tend to e frightened of hypertension, but those widths a moderate rise in the pressure may live for years. I have known sufferers who reached great age, and died from something unconnected. Be advised by your doctor. He will probably arrange tests to see if there is a curable cause and check for any sign of adverse effect on heart or kidneys. He will suggest a reducing diet if you are overweight, abstention from smoking and reduction of animal fats if these are indicated. He may perhaps prescribe tablets to reduce the pressure.

There are usually no symptoms of loud pressure; it is often found during a routine medical insurance examination. Occasionally, headaches and giddiness are found to be caused by raise blood pressure. Once you are known to have raised blood pressure you will need the pressure checked occasionally, (be guided by your own doctor). As treatment-mint may need to be adjusted. You should continue accustomed activities but if you have taken no exercise for years do not suddenly take up vigor’s exercise such as squash; start gradually with short walks and build up. Blood Tests. Many conditions can be checked on by blood tests, Anemia and other blood diseases can be detected as can kidney and liver disorders and some venereal diseases. Too much cholesterol ( a fatty substance associated with heart and artery disease) may be found and many chronic illnesses, glandular diseases and forms of arthritis can be confined by blood tests. The blood levels of alcohol, drugs and poisons may be measured (it is sometimes useful to know if the patient is taking his tablets!). One value of tests is that, if negative, they reassure the patient who may fear the worst. (See BLOOD GROUPS.)
