Autoimmune Diseases
Autoimmune diseses are a result of the body producing antibodies to its own tissues, leading to a destructive inflammation. This disease can affect many different tissues in the body. Your questions about the disease, its causes, treatments, and other questions you would like to ask about Autoimmune Diseases are welcome!

No. She does not. That was a false rumor. Naomi left the adult business at the time of the breakout but wasn't a part of it. She returned to college in order to pursue work in the medical field.
Can kids under the age of ten have arthritis?
Unfortunately yes a person can have Rheumatoid arthritis, RA at any age.
Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) is the most common form of arthritis found in children. It can present as a mild condition causing few problems over time, but it can also be a very serious problem causing joint and tissue damage in children. JRA can bring about serious complications in more severe cases.
For the most part there are 3 types of JRA
- Oligoarticular; Four or fewer joints are affected. Usually the larger joints such as a knee or ankle.
- Polyarticular; five or more joints are affected. This usually affects the large joints, such as knees, wrists, elbows, and ankles, However the small joints of the hands and feet are also become involved. The joints of the neck (cervical spine) and jaw (temporomandibular joints) may also be affected.
- Systemic; Affects many parts of the body, A child with systemic JRA may have swelling, pain, and limited motion in joints, as well as other symptoms such as rashes and high fevers that come and go can happen for weeks at a time. Other organs, such as the heart, lungs, and liver, may also be affected.
I am 13 and could possibly have it How? The scientists are still trying to work that out.

When you get RA at 12 years old or as a young person it is called juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and in most ways is similar to adult onset RA. Neither of them can be cured. They however can be managed with a wide variety of medications that help control everything from pain and swelling to slowing down the progression of the damage the disease does on the body. There are natural supplements that help as well as physical therapy. Once damage has occurred to a joint it cannot be reversed, but surgery is very helpful in many cases and for various parts of the body. There is at present no cure for RA or for that matter JRA the best you can hope for is that the inflammatory stages of the disease go into or stay in remission and that other treatments are able to control damaging inflammation
What does sedimentation rate 28 mean?
sedimentation rates may vary from lab to lab with measurement methods, however normal sedimentation rates are considered to be up to 10 millimeters an hour in men and up to 20 an hour in women and the elderly.
Sedimentation rates detect infection or inflammation.
it can not determine the cause of the problem.
and can give false positive readings in healthy people.
If there are symptoms of for instance vasculitis or other autoimmune conditions further test may be initiated if the reading is high in order to come up with an effective treatment.
How many people die from lupus each year?
There are estimates but no solid data. First, lupus is not reported to the CDC so they do not track statistics. Second, lupus patients die from complications of the disease, not the disease itself. For example, a person who has lupus nephritis (40% of lupus patients) and dies from kidney disease would be listed on the death certificate as dying of kidney failure. Lupus patients have double the risk of cardiovascular events like heart attack and stroke, but if they die from that the death certificate will say heart attack or stroke, not lupus.

How can you tell if someone is infected with AIDS?
You can't, you can't. Be clear on this; you CANNOT tell. Don't let anyone fool you into thinking there is some kind of "method". Even if you ask and the person answers honestly, you cannot tell. Very few HIV+ people become infected intentionally, so that they know instantly when they should start answering the question "yes". Be cautious and remain safe. You can't do a "re-take" after becoming HIV+. See link to left. First things first: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BECOME INFECTED WITH AIDS. AIDS is simply a syndrome that develops as a result of advanced HIV infection. The only way to tell if someone is infected with HIV is for him, or her, to take an HIV test .. and the only way for you to tell if you are infected with HIV is for you to take an HIV test.
Does a person with lupus qualify for disability benefits?
The diagnosis of Lupus must be confirmed and it must be clearly defined as to how much and to what extent is disables you.
Your best (and only) authority on this matter should be your local office of the Social Security Administration.
How do you protect yourself from HIV or AIDS?
The best way to not contract HIV or AIDS is to avoid sex, illegal injection drugs, and puncture wounds. Barring that, just avoid casual sex, use condoms, don't inject drugs, and use safe handling practices if you must handle blood or contaminated objects. If you are addicted to injection drugs, then make sure you use a new, sterile syringe each time and seek drug treatment.
If you somehow get poked, cut, injected, or stabbed with an object that might contain HIV/AIDS, let the wound bleed and immediately see a doctor. The doctor may put you on an AIDS cocktail just in case, and you should be tested every 3 months after the incident for at least a year. If you still don't show signs by then, they will take you off the medication.
One thing to keep in mind is that while HIV is a real threat, it is not the only one. More people contract hepatitis than AIDS, and it is spread pretty much the same way (though some strains of hepatitis can also be spread through food - be careful where you dine).
How did the plague spread so fast?
I'm assuming you're talking about the Black Plague in Europe during the Dark Ages. First of all, the people in Europe had very poor hygiene: they might bathe individually once a year, if at all. So they carried lice and fleas. They also had dogs and livestock living inside during the cold winters, to increase the warmth, and these carried lice and fleas. At this time, they didn't have ways to preserve their food, other than with salting it, so they had very low quality nutrition (which had bugs and worms in it). They also didn't have any sanitation, so they just tossed their garbage, trash, dead bodies and toilet wastes out of the house into the street which attracted more rats and other animals. Anyway, these so-called Christians (I'm not using the name 'Christian to be critical, but these persons considered themselves servants of the Clergy at that time) were superstitious about cats, believing that cats were messenger of witches and servants of the Devil. So, the Plague was carried by fleas that lived mainly on the rats, then onto filthy, overcrowded, diseased, undernourished people, who tried to kill all of the very cats who could have gotten rid of the rats.
What country has the best medical care?
Too general of question!!... do you mean for the average person or only those insured? I mean I would say for insured individuals only I would definitely say the united states but if you are saying for the average person maybe France, but it could be a few.
Can you get aids from hugging?
The AIDS virus can indeed be found in saliva. However, the traces are minimal and the likelihood of contracting the disease is also minimal. In other words, yes but you'd almost have to try and make it a wet one.
- A Specialized Center of Research in Lupus at the University of Virginia School of Medicine
- A Lupus Registry and Repository that researchers across the country can utilize to help identify genes that determine susceptibility to the disease
- A Neonatal Lupus Registry that researchers across the country can utilize to research data and genetic information on neonatal lupus
- Funding for The Lupus Federal Working Group-to focus on lupus research progress
- Research studies to better understand:
- Genetics-genes that are associated with susceptibility to lupus or play a role in the development of lupus
- Biomarkers-something that can be found in cells or tissues that predicts lupus flares or lupus disease process
- The lupus disease process-how it affects different organs, how it behaves in its earliest clinical manifestations
- Treatments, such as the medication rituximab, which lowers the number of white blood cells that produce antibodies
- Overcoming barriers that tend to keep some populations from complying with prescribed treatment.
Can eye health be affected by dental problems?
While eye health and dental health are separate and distinct areas, there can be some indirect connections between them. In particular, certain systemic health conditions, including some dental problems, may have implications for eye health. Here are a few examples:
Diabetes: Diabetes is a systemic condition that can affect both dental health and eye health. Poorly controlled diabetes can increase the risk of gum disease, which, in turn, has been linked to an increased risk of certain eye conditions, such as diabetic retinopathy.
Oral Infections: Severe oral infections, such as abscesses, can spread to other areas of the body, potentially leading to systemic infections. In rare cases, if an infection spreads from the oral cavity to the nearby sinuses or eye socket, it can cause complications affecting the eyes.
Medications: Some medications used to treat certain dental conditions, such as dry mouth (xerostomia), may have side effects that can affect the eyes. For example, certain medications can cause dryness of the eyes or blurred vision as a side effect.
Inflammatory Conditions: Certain systemic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, can affect both oral health and eye health. These conditions can involve inflammation in various parts of the body, including the gums and the eyes.
It's important to note that these connections are not direct, and the vast majority of dental problems do not directly impact eye health. However, maintaining overall health and addressing any systemic conditions, including dental issues, can contribute to overall well-being, including eye health. Regular dental check-ups and eye examinations, along with maintaining good oral hygiene and overall health, are important for preventing and addressing any potential issues in both areas. If you have specific concerns about how your dental health may be related to your eye health, it's best to consult with both your dentist and an eye care professional for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate advice.

Does junk foods causes crohn's disease?
The cause of Crohn's disease is unknown. No infectious agent (virus, bacteria, or fungi) has been identified as the cause of Crohn's disease. Still, some researchers have theorized that some type of infection may have originally been responsible for triggering the immune system, resulting in the continuing and out-of-control cycle of inflammation that occurs in Crohn's disease. Other evidence for a disorder of the immune system includes the high incidence of other immune disorders that may occur along with Crohn's disease.
The first symptoms of Crohn's disease include diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, inability to eat, weight loss, and fatigue. Some patients have severe pain that mimics appendicitis. It is rare, however, for patients to notice blood in their bowel movements. Because Crohn's disease severely limits the ability of the affected intestine to absorb the nutrients from food, a patient with Crohn's disease can have signs of malnutrition, depending on the amount of intestine affected and the duration of the disease.
The combination of severe inflammation, ulceration, and scarring that occurs in Crohn's disease can result in serious complications, including obstruction, abscess formation, and fistula formation.
An obstruction is a blockage in the intestine. This obstruction prevents the intestinal contents from passing beyond the point of the blockage. The intestinal contents "back up," resulting in constipation, vomiting, and intense pain. Although rare in Crohn's disease (because of the increased thickness of the intestinal wall due to swelling and scarring), a severe bowel obstruction can result in an intestinal wall perforation (a hole in the intestine). Such a hole in the intestinal wall would allow the intestinal contents, usually containing bacteria, to enter the abdomen. This complication could result in a severe, life-threatening infection.
Abcess formation is the development of a walled-off pocket of infection. A patient with an abscess will have bouts of fever, increased abdominal pain, and may have a lump or mass that can be felt through the wall of the abdomen.
Fistula formation is the formation of abnormal channels. These channels may connect one area of the intestine to another neighboring section of intestine. Fistuals may join an area of the intestine to the vagina or bladder, or they may drain an area of the intestine through the skin. Abscesses and fistulas commonly affect the area around the anus and rectum (the very last portions of the colon allowing waste to leave the body). These abnormal connections allow the bacteria that normally live in the intestine to enter other areas of the body, causing potentially serious infections.
Patients suffering from Crohn's disease also have a significant chance of experiencing other disorders. Some of these may relate specifically to the intestinal disease, and others appear to have some relationship to the imbalanced immune system. The faulty absorption state of the bowel can result in gallstones and kidney stones. Inflamed areas in the abdomen may press on the tube that drains urine from the kidney to the bladder (the ureter). Ureter compression can make urine back up into the kidney, enlarge the ureter and kidney, and can potentially lead to kidney damage. Patients with Crohn's disease also frequently suffer from:
- arthritis (inflammation of the joints)
- spondylitis (inflammation of the vertebrae, the bones of the spine)
- ulcers of the mouth and skin
- painful, red bumps on the skin
- inflammation of several eye areas
- inflammation of the liver, gallbladder, and/or the channels (ducts) that carry bile between and within the liver, gallbladder, and intestine
The chance of developing cancer of the intestine is greater than normal among patients with Crohn's disease, although this chance is not as high as among those patients with ulcerative colitis
Plant disease csused by microorganisms?
Most plant diseases are caused by fungi, bacteria, and viruses. one disease caused by microorganisms is the black spot of rose.
This is frequently asked question! HIV infection does not transmit by the fleas. They suck the blood of the infected person. When the flea bites you it does not inject back the same blood. You do not get HIV infection that way.
