Bio-chemical angioplasty

Bio-chemical angioplasty (BCA), also known as chelation therapy, treats coronary artery disease (CAD). It involves injecting a chemical called ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) into the bloodstream. EDTA binds to calcium, a major component of plaque buildup in the arteries. This helps to break up the plaque and improve blood flow.

BCA typically lasts about an hour over 20-30 treatments. The treatments are usually given over several weeks or months.

BCA is not a standard treatment for CAD, and it needs to be clarified how effective it is. Some studies have shown that it can improve symptoms and reduce the risk of heart attack, but other studies have not found any benefit.

The American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology do not recommend BCA as a treatment for CAD. However, it can be a helpful alternative to surgery or other medicines.

If you are considering BCA, talking to your doctor about the risks and benefits is essential. They can help you decide if this is the proper treatment for you.

Here are some of the potential risks of BCA:

  • Allergic reaction to EDTA
  • Low blood pressure
  • Headache
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Muscle cramps
  • Pain at the injection site

In rare cases, BCA can cause more serious complications, such as kidney damage or stroke.

If you have any questions or concerns about BCA, be sure to talk to your doctor.

What you need to know about Enhanced External Counterpulsation Treatment (EECP)

Enhanced External Counter Pulsation (EECP) is a non-invasive medical therapy used to treat certain cardiovascular conditions, particularly chronic stable angina and heart failure. It works by improving blood flow to the heart and reducing the workload on the heart muscle. Here's an explanation of how EECP works and its benefits:

 

Principle of EECP: EECP involves using external or pressure cuffs wrapped around the patient's legs (from calves to thighs) and connected to a computer-controlled air compressor. The cuffs inflate and deflate in sync with the patient's heartbeat, creating a pulsatile pressure wave that travels upward from the legs toward the heart. This process is synchronized with the ECG (electrocardiogram) to ensure it matches the patient's cardiac cycle.

 

Enhancing Blood Flow: During inflation of the cuffs, blood in the lower extremities is pushed upward toward the heart. This increase in blood flow is particularly beneficial for individuals with compromised coronary arteries, as it helps to supply more oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle. Additionally, the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle, when the heart relaxes and fills with blood, is extended due to the cuff deflation. This allows the heart to receive more blood and oxygen, further reducing the workload on the heart.

 

Benefits of EECP:

 

Symptom Relief: EECP is often used to alleviate symptoms of chronic stable angina (chest pain or discomfort) that do not respond well to other treatments. Patients typically experience reduced angina frequency and severity.

Improved Exercise Tolerance: EECP can enhance a patient's ability to engage in physical activities by improving cardiovascular function.

Reduced Heart Workload: By increasing diastolic blood flow and reducing afterload (the resistance the heart has to overcome to pump blood), EECP can reduce the overall workload on the heart.

Stimulation of Collateral Blood Vessels: EECP may encourage the development of collateral blood vessels, which can help bypass blocked or narrowed coronary arteries.

Treatment Course: A typical course of EECP treatment involves multiple one-hour sessions over several weeks. Patients are usually required to complete around 35 sessions, with five sessions per week. Each session involves lying on a specially designed treatment table with cuffs on the legs. The treatment is painless and non-invasive, allowing patients to relax, watch TV, or read during the sessions.

 

Safety and Considerations: EECP is generally considered safe but may not suit everyone. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if it's an appropriate treatment option, as it may not be effective for all individuals with cardiovascular conditions.

 

EECP is a therapeutic option for select patients with specific heart conditions, and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. It should always be used under the guidance and supervision of a qualified healthcare provider.

What you need to know about Neuroplasticity

Neuroplasticity, also known as brain plasticity, refers to the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and adapt throughout an individual's life in response to various experiences, learning, injury, or environmental changes. This process involves the brain's capacity to rewire its neural connections, modify its structure, and adjust its functions. Neuroplasticity is a fundamental property of the brain that underlies learning, memory, recovery from injury, and even the development of new skills and habits.

 

There are two main types of neuroplasticity:

 

Structural Plasticity: This type of plasticity involves physical changes in the brain's structure. It includes the creation of new neurons (neurogenesis), the formation of new synaptic connections (synaptogenesis), and the pruning or elimination of unused or unnecessary connections (synaptic pruning). Structural plasticity allows the brain to adapt to new information, experiences, and skills.

 

Functional Plasticity: Functional plasticity refers to the brain's ability to redistribute functions across different areas in response to damage or changes in demand. If a specific brain region is injured or less active, nearby or distant regions can compensate for the lost function. For example, after a stroke, other parts of the brain may take over some of the functions that were impaired due to the stroke.

 

Neuroplasticity occurs throughout an individual's life, but it is most prominent during early development (critical periods) when the brain is highly adaptable and flexible. However, even in adulthood, the brain retains a degree of plasticity, allowing for ongoing learning and adaptation.

 

Several factors can influence and enhance neuroplasticity:

 

Experience and Learning: Engaging in new activities, acquiring new skills, and learning new information can stimulate neuroplastic changes in the brain. Repeatedly practicing a skill or exposing oneself to novel experiences can strengthen neural connections.

 

Environmental Enrichment: A stimulating and enriched environment, both mentally and physically, can promote neuroplasticity. This includes exposure to diverse stimuli, social interaction, and physical exercise.

 

Neurorehabilitation: After brain injuries or conditions like stroke, rehabilitation programs that focus on specific tasks and exercises can help promote functional recovery through neuroplastic changes.

 

Neurotransmitters and Neuromodulators: Chemical signals in the brain, such as neurotransmitters and neuromodulators, play a role in regulating neuroplasticity. For example, substances like brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are known to promote synaptic plasticity.

 

Genetics: Individual genetic factors can influence the extent and rate of neuroplastic changes.

 

Understanding neuroplasticity has significant implications for various fields, including education, rehabilitation, and neuroscience. It highlights the importance of lifelong learning and the potential for recovery and adaptation following brain injuries or neurological disorders. Researchers continue to study neuroplasticity to uncover ways to harness its potential for improving cognitive function, treating brain-related conditions, and enhancing human performance.

Every thing you need to know about Dopamine

 

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, which is a chemical messenger in the brain that plays a crucial role in various physiological and psychological processes. It is a member of the catecholamine family of neurotransmitters, along with norepinephrine and epinephrine, and it is produced in several areas of the brain, including the substantia nigra and the ventral tegmental area.

 

Here are some key aspects of dopamine:

 

Neurotransmitter Function: Dopamine functions as a neurotransmitter, transmitting signals between nerve cells (neurons) in the brain. It is involved in the communication between neurons and is essential for various cognitive, emotional, and motor functions.

 

Reward and Pleasure: One of the most well-known functions of dopamine is its role in the brain's reward system. When you experience something pleasurable or rewarding, such as eating delicious food or receiving praise, dopamine is released in the brain. This release of dopamine is thought to reinforce behaviors associated with pleasure, encouraging you to seek out those rewarding experiences.

 

Motivation and Goal-Oriented Behavior: Dopamine is also linked to motivation and goal-oriented behavior. It helps to drive individuals to pursue goals, achieve tasks, and engage in activities that are important for their survival and well-being.

 

Movement Control: In addition to its role in reward and motivation, dopamine is critical for motor control. A deficiency in dopamine production in certain brain regions can lead to movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease. Medications used to treat Parkinson's often involve increasing dopamine levels in the brain.

 

Mood Regulation: Dopamine plays a role in mood regulation and emotional well-being. Imbalances in dopamine levels have been associated with mood disorders like depression and bipolar disorder.

 

Attention and Focus: Dopamine also contributes to attention and focus. It helps you stay alert, concentrate on tasks, and process information effectively.

 

Learning and Memory: Dopamine is involved in learning and memory processes. It helps in the formation of memories and the ability to learn from experiences.

 

Addiction: The dopamine reward pathway is implicated in addiction. Repeated exposure to addictive substances or behaviors can lead to changes in the brain's dopamine system, making individuals more susceptible to addiction.

 

Dysregulation: Dysregulation of the dopamine system has been implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), and addiction.

 

Dopamine's complex role in the brain makes it a critical neurotransmitter for a wide range of functions, from basic motor control to complex cognitive processes. Imbalances in dopamine levels or dysfunction in the dopamine system can have significant implications for both physical and mental health. Understanding dopamine's role in the brain has led to important advances in the treatment of various neurological and psychiatric conditions.

Liver function tests (LFTs)

 

Liver function tests (LFTs), also known as liver panel or hepatic function tests, are a group of blood tests that provide information about the health and functioning of the liver. The liver is a vital organ responsible for numerous functions in the body, including processing nutrients, detoxifying harmful substances, producing important proteins, and aiding in digestion. LFTs help doctors assess how well the liver is working and identify any potential liver-related issues or diseases.

 

Here are some common liver function tests and what they measure:

 

Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT): ALT is an enzyme found primarily in the liver. Elevated ALT levels can indicate liver inflammation or damage, often associated with conditions such as hepatitis (viral, alcoholic, or autoimmune), fatty liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury.

 

Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST): Like ALT, AST is an enzyme found in the liver, but it's also present in other organs like the heart and muscles. Elevated AST levels can indicate liver damage, but they are less specific to the liver than ALT. High AST levels may be seen in conditions such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and certain muscle disorders.

 

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): ALP is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the liver, bile ducts, and bones. Elevated ALP levels can indicate liver or bile duct obstruction, bone disorders, or other conditions affecting bone growth.

 

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT): GGT is an enzyme found in the liver and other organs, including the pancreas and kidneys. Elevated GGT levels can indicate liver disease, alcohol abuse, or certain medications affecting the liver.

 

Bilirubin: Bilirubin is a waste product formed when red blood cells break down. Elevated bilirubin levels can result from liver disease, hemolysis (excessive breakdown of red blood cells), or bile flow obstruction. High bilirubin levels can cause jaundice, a yellowing of the skin and eyes.

 

Albumin: Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps maintain blood volume and transport substances. Low albumin levels can indicate liver disease, malnutrition, or kidney problems.

 

Prothrombin Time (PT) and International Normalized Ratio (INR): These tests assess the blood's ability to clot. The liver produces clotting factors, so abnormal PT and INR values can indicate liver dysfunction.

 

Total Protein: This test measures the total amount of proteins in the blood, including albumin and globulins. Abnormal total protein levels can indicate liver disease or other underlying health issues.

 

Liver function tests are often performed together to get a comprehensive view of liver health. It's important to note that abnormal test results do not provide a specific diagnosis on their own. They are usually used in conjunction with a patient's medical history, physical examination, and possibly other diagnostic tests to determine the cause of the abnormalities and guide further treatment or investigation. If you have concerns about your liver health or have been advised to take liver function tests, it's best to consult a medical professional for proper interpretation and guidance.

How Fix Urinary Frequency (Nocturia)

 Here are some tips that might help:

 

Stay Hydrated, But Avoid Excess Fluids Before Bed: It might seem counterintuitive, but limiting your fluid intake in the evening, especially a few hours before bedtime, can reduce the need to urinate during the night.

 

Bladder Training: Gradually increasing the time between bathroom trips during the day can help train your bladder to hold more urine and reduce nighttime urges. This should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

 

Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol: Both caffeine and alcohol can increase urine production and irritate the bladder, leading to more frequent urination. Try reducing or avoiding these substances, especially in the evening.

 

Dietary Modifications: Certain foods and drinks, like spicy foods, artificial sweeteners, and acidic foods, can irritate the bladder. Consider keeping a food diary to identify triggers and adjust your diet accordingly.

 

Maintain a Healthy Weight: Excess weight can pressure the bladder and exacerbate urinary issues. Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise may help.

 

Manage Medications: Some medications can contribute to nocturia. Consult your doctor about your medications and whether any adjustments can be made.

 

Treat Underlying Conditions: Nocturia can be a symptom of various underlying medical conditions, such as urinary tract infections, diabetes, enlarged prostate (in men), and more. Treating the root cause often alleviates the symptoms.

 

Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles through exercises like Kegels can help with bladder control.

 

Lifestyle Changes: Stress management techniques and adequate sleep can also improve bladder function.

 

Consult a Healthcare Professional: If your nocturia persists or worsens, it's important to seek advice from a doctor. They can perform necessary tests, such as a urinalysis, and provide personalized recommendations based on your medical history and current health.

 

Everyone's situation is unique, and what works for one person may not work for another. It's important to work closely with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your nocturia and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
