THE FUNCTIONS.

Cardiac Arrest causes immediate widespread ischemia in the body with cellular reactions within the various organs impairing their function and sometimes even thwarting resuscitation maneuvers for circulatory restoration. Consequences of

Complications in bipolar disorder

From the clinical point of view, it should be mentioned that sometimes bipolar disorder may be accompanied by some pre-existing conditions that may aggravate an already quite serious condition, with more intense symptoms, for which the applied therapy may yield results of lesser effectiveness. But which ones are the most present?

Can bipolar disorder be prevented?

Prevention with this disorder is not comparable to what is required for other clinical conditions, as it is a disorder of the mind that affects the mood sphere, but intervening in a timely manner at the first signs of mental illness is a definite advantage with respect to the future condition of the sick person, thus preventing the worsening of the illness.

Cellulite: an aesthetic problem or also a clinical problem?

The outward appearance of "orange peel" or dimpled skin is considered a major cosmetic problem, to which the medical response is more oriented toward a consistent variety of specific treatments, rather than in-depth investigations of pathophysiological issues.

Beware of dehydration

When our body lacks all the water it needs to live then comes dehydration. So what? Drink enough water during hot weather preventing mild dehydration from turning into more severe dehydration.

Bruises: what to do?

Contusions form when a blunt object strikes certain parts of the body, rupturing subcutaneous blood vessels. There is no discharge of blood, and usually the bruises are swollen and painful,

Aortic valve repair

When aortic valvulopathy presents significant quality-of-life problems for the patient but also obvious risks of serious consequences, cardiac surgery may be necessary.

Hypertension

ipertensione-640x458-1

According to the ESH-ESC guidelines, hypertension is defined by the finding of systolic (maximum) blood pressure values ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic (minimum) blood pressure values ≤ 90 mmHg.

The same classification is used to define hypertension in adults and the elderly of both sexes, while different criteria, based on percentiles, are adopted in children and adolescents.

Hypertension currently affects more than 1 billion people worldwide, and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) about 1.6 billion people will suffer from hypertension in 2025.
One-quarter of hypertensives do not respond adequately to conventional drug treatment (probably also due to intermittent intake), and more than 10% have treatment resistance.

Hypertension is one of the most significant cardiovascular risk factors (to the point that every 20 mmHg increase in systolic blood pressure doubles the risk of death from cardiovascular causes), but it is also one of the most easily modifiable through lifestyle correction (healthy diet, reduced salt intake, increased physical activity and smoking cessation) and well-set drug therapy taken regularly, every day, throughout life.
