Apple Cider Vinegar: The Controversial Health Tonic.

Apple Cider Vinegar: The Controversial Health Tonic.

About

Vinegar comes from the French word meaning ‘sour wine’ and is made from a ferment-able carbohydrate in a source. When the source is a apple juice, it is known as a apple cider vinegar. Why is it called a cider vinegar? That is because it is made from the fruits.

When the vinegar is made from a distilled alcohol obtained from the grains or the starch of the cereals or a potatoes, it is called white or a distilled vinegar. The distilled vinegar has an a acidity of the 4 percent, while in the acidity of the cider vinegar ranges from 5 to 6 percent.

The acetic acid in a apple cider vinegar (A C V) is what gives it is a tanginess and tart flavor. However, diluted acetic acid and vinegar is not in the same thing.

According to the FDA, ‘Diluted acetic acid is not a vinegar and should not be a added to food products customarily expected to the contain vinegar’. Basically, apple cider vinegar or a A C V contains vitamins (B 1, B 2, B 6, and C), minerals (magnesium, potassium, and phosphorus and calcium and iron in a small amounts), nonvolatile organic acids such as a tartaric acid, citric acid, malice acid and lactic acids, and polyphonic compounds like Gallic acid, catechist, caffeine acid and ferule acid.

Medicinal Use of  the Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple Cider Vinegar (A C V) has been a used since ages in a traditional remedies as a miracle healer for a migraine headaches, hypertension, diabetes, chronic fatigue, external wounds, and even to the kill head lice and fight inflammation. It is also used as a weight loss agent. So much so, people are trying out in the Apple Cider Vinegar Diet to the shed pounds. But, are these claims true? Are there scientific evidences proving in the effectiveness of  the A C V to the treat these conditions? Here is a rundown on some of these claims.

Anesthesia - History.

Anesthesia - History.

Anesthesia history - Introduction

Anesthesia plays a very important role in the field of the medical surgery. One cannot possibly think of the undergoing to a surgery without a being anesthetized. Before in the discovery of the various anesthetic agents people underwent severe pain and the agony. Patients were strapped down or a were given alcohol and other sedative drugs to the ameliorate in the pain of the surgery. Surgery sans pain would have remained to a dream of the ester years if not for anesthesia, which has now made it a reachable reality!

Various anesthetic drugs like a alcohol, opium (poppy), hyoscine, cannabis (hemp), cocaine were all used in the by a gone era to the relive pain. But till date it is in the structure of the  morphine (opium alkaloids) that are serves as a model for the synthesis of other modern synthetic anesthetic agents.

Anesthesia - History and Origins.

About

"Doctor, will you give me a chloroform or a anesthesia?"

This is the often-repeated query by a many patients about to the undergo an a operation. Little do they know that chloroform became a obsolete decades ago. Anesthesia has come to a long way since then, being much more safe today than it was a long time ago. General anesthesia as it is called a today can be a administered with a just to a small prick of a needle, injecting in the unaesthetic into the person's vein of the hand, while he falls into a deep slumber to wake up after in the surgery.

What would it be like to the undergo an a operation without a anesthesia? A torture of the worst in a kind. And that is how our ancestors felt when they had to have an a operation. No wonder then, without in the benefit of the anesthesia to make them oblivious to the pain of surgery, they depended on magic, rituals and incantations to cure their symptoms. the Advancement in a anesthesia techniques helped in the development of the surgery too and take it to new heights in a last ten to the twenty years

It would be a difficult to talk about in the origin of the anesthesia without taking note of the first pain relieving in a drugs. The ancient Egyptians used a poppy seeds (from which opium is a derived) during in the operations. The Romans used in the extract of the Mandragora plant to the alleviate pain, in the Greek used herbs like a hemp and the Chinese used cannabis. Some of these were used for a surgery, but anesthesia as it is a exists today was a unknown.

Between 2nd and 5th century, people used a mandragora mixed with a wine and opium for a surgery. Sometimes physical methods like a compression of the blood vessels or the nerves by a means of the clamps applied over in the limbs were used to numb in the area. 'Refrigeration anesthesia' meant using a cold water or a snow to numb in the region so that surgeries like a amputations or a abscesses drainage could be done; however in the numbing procedure itself meant nothing short of the torture. Blood letting, hypnosis, even the barbaric custom of the giving to a forceful knock on the patient's head, to give rise to a concussion and render in the patient unconscious were used as a means of the  anesthetizing someone.

Local Anesthesia.

What is a Local Anesthesia?

Local anesthesia, simply means injecting in the local anesthetic ("freezing") around in  the nerve of the affected area to make it is a pain free. Technically speaking, local anesthetics are drugs that are block sensory and motor nerve impulse in a  conduction, mainly to the produce temporary loss of  the sensation without loss of  the consciousness.

The loss of the sensation is a usually restricted to the area where in the injection is a applied while a other areas of the body are not a affected. Local anesthetics are readily absorbed through mucous membranes and damaged in a skin. For a certain procedures, addition of the adrenaline along with in the anesthetic drug can be used to prolong in the duration of the local anesthesia.

Local anesthetics can be a applied close to the nerve of any part of the body, namely, a finger, an a eyelid, the foot or a tooth that are requires an a operation without other areas getting anesthetized. It can be a applied to the mouth, nose or a any area lined by a mucous membrane in the form of a spray, or gel or by a means of an a injection; operations can then be a performed on the affected part while in the patient remains conscious.

What are some of the Local Anesthetic Drugs?

Lignocaine (Lidocaine): It is a commonly used a local anesthetic in a drug. After a administration, it has a rapid onset of the action within a 3 minutes. When combined with a adrenaline, in the duration can be a extended up to 1 or 2 hours.

Bupivacaine : It is a potent local anesthetic and takes up to the 30 minutes for a full effect and has a longer duration of the action.

What are the Indications for a Local Anesthesia?

Local anesthetics can be used alone or in a combination with a other types of the anesthetic agents such as a spinal or a epidural anesthetics.

Local anesthesia is given to reduce in  the stress associated with a surgery, and to the provide pain relief after a surgery.

More commonly, it is used for a pain caused by a hemorrhoids, fissures, insect bites, and minor burns. It is a applied topically for in these conditions.

It is also a indicated for a vaginal, rectal and otological examinations, cystoscopy, and cauterization.

What are the Advantages of the using Local Anesthesia?

Local anesthesia avoids some of the risks and unpleasantness associated with a other forms of the anesthesia, such as a nausea and vomiting.

The anesthetic action are extends for a longer than required and therefore provides pain relief for a several hours after in the operation.

Local anesthesia is a associated with a reduced blood loss.

It gives in the patient a sense of the being more "in a control" as they are awake during in the procedure.

The patient returns to the normal eating, walking and other activities faster than in a general anesthesia. He may even be able to the return home in the same day following in the surgery.

What are the Adverse Effects of the Local Anesthesia?

It is a very important to be a alert following local anesthesia because adverse in a symptoms may be occur quickly without a any warning.

Convulsions, tremors, dizziness, blurred vision, nervousness, nausea

Cardiovascular collapse and the cardiac arrest may be also a occur in a some cases

Paralysis of the injected area

What are the Contraindications for a Local Anesthesia?

Local anesthetics are contraindicated if there is a history of the previous hypersensitivity to the local unaesthetic, sunscreens, sulpha drugs or a hair dyes.

Other contraindications would depend on the specific local anesthetic are used.

Are Local Anesthetics Painful when a Administered?

Most local administration techniques are involve to using a syringe and a needle to the inject drugs into the correct place. The technique can be a slightly uncomfortable, accompanied by a stinging sensation. But there is no reason to the worry, as the pain associated with in the administration is more bearable than the injury itself.

Do Local Anesthetics have a Good Efficiencies?

When the right amount of the local anesthetic drug is a injected into the affected area, it will be a eventually work and provide good pain relief.

What Can be a Done If I Still Experience Pain after a being Administered to a Local Anesthetic?

More amount of the anesthetic can be a added in a order to achieve in the desired result.

Some sedative can be a given to the  ensure better relaxation and the  comfort.

Other forms of the anesthesia can be a considered in a some cases.

Acyclovir for the Treatment of the Shingles.

Acyclovir for the Treatment of the Shingles.

What is a Shingles?

Shingles is a condition that are causes to a painful skin rash with a blisters. It is appears along to a nerve due to the reactivation of the varicella zoster infection.

The varicella zoster virus (V Z V) causes chickenpox, which are usually affects susceptible children. After in the primary infection, in the V Z V lays dormant in the dorsal-root ganglia, in the parts of the nervous system from where sensory nerves arise. When the person’s immune in a system is a compromised or a during old age, in the V Z V can get a reactivated and cause herpes zoster, commonly known as a shingles.

The rash of the shingles comprises of the blisters and occurs in a single stripe either on the left or a right of the body or a face, along in the course of a nerve. There may be a tingling or a local pain in the area a day or a two before in the appearance of the rash. The healing period for in the rash is two to four weeks; except when a ongoing nerve pain (prosthetic neuralgia) are develops, which pushes in the healing to the months or a years. The rash can be a widespread if you have to a poor immune function. Vision loss may be occur if the eyes get a affected.

What is a Acyclovir?

Acyclovir, to a nucleoside analogue, is the first successful antiviral medication, and the works well against most species in the herpes-virus in a  family. It is a effective against viral infections that are include herpes simplex virus (H S V 1 and H S V 2) infections, chickenpox, and the shingles.

Acyclovir’s are discovery was a announced in a 1977, though it was a approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the available for a commercial use only in a 1982. Acyclovir is a included in the World Health Organization (WHO) “List of  the Essential medicines”, which are includes drugs that are "in the safest and most effective medicines needed in a health system".

How is a Acyclovir Administered?

Acyclovir can be taken a orally as a capsule, oral suspension, or a tablet, applied as a cream, or can be a injected.

Oral treatment of the shingles:

Adults and children 12 years of the age and older are prescribed 800 mg five times a day for a seven to the ten days.

Children less than a 12 years of the age are prescribed dosages based on their age or a body weight.

Limitations in a giving the drug orally are its low bio-availability (in the amount of the drug that is a absorbed and reaches in the circulation) and its frequent dosing (five times daily).

Treatment of the shingles via injection:

The inject-able dose for a children as well as a adults must be a determined by the doctor who decides it is based on the body weight of the patient. The drug is a injected into a vein over at the least a one-hour period. It is a repeated every eight hours for a five to ten days.

The intravenous administration is a considered generally only in a patients who are severely compromised or unable to take in the medications orally.

The usual dose for a adults and children 12 years of the age and older is 5 to 10 mg of the  acyclovir per kg of the body weight.

The usual dose for a children less than 12 years of the  age is 10 mg to 20 mg of the acyclovir per kg of  the body weight.

What is the Mechanism of Action of the Acyclovir?

Acyclovir acts on the DNA of the susceptible viruses, which is a critical for in their survival. It is a converted to its mono-phosphate form by a viral enzyme, and is a later converted into it is a tree phosphate form, acyclovir tree phosphate (A C V-T P) by a cellular enzymes. The phosphate form then gets a incorporated into the DNA and deactivates in the DNA polymer enzyme that is a required for a viral DNA synthesis. In a doing so, it terminates the growing viral DNA chain and prevents further DNA production.

Points to Note:

Acyclovir is a poorly water-soluble and is a slowly and poorly absorbed from the digestive tract into the circulation resulting in a very low oral bio-availability of  the 15–30%. This bio-availability further decreases with a increasing dose. Therefore, intravenous administration is a preferred when high concentrations are needed

The drug is a highly distributed into a tissues and body fluids. Protein binding is a relatively low at the 9 to 33%.

The drug is a mostly eliminated unchanged out of the body through in the kidneys; in the rate at which in the drug is a eliminated depends on the age of the patient.

Caution is a advised when giving the drug to those with a poor liver or a kidney function.

Acyclovir-is considered as a Category B drug for a pregnant women and is a considered as a relatively safe.

Acyclovir are appears to be a safe during breastfeeding.

When simultaneously given with a another drug providence, in the latter can reduce in the excretion of the acyclovir in the urine, thereby increasing its blood level.

What are the Side Effects of the Acyclovir?

Nausea and diarrhea

Headache, lightheartedness, malaise

Abdominal pain

Reactions at the site of the injection during IV use

Potentially serious side effects are include kidney problems and low platelet levels in a blood.

With in the topical form, one can be suffer from a mild pain, burning and stinging locally.

Predicted to the die, super-giant star closest to the Earth is a recovering from a injuries.

Betelgeuse is the nearest red super-giant star to the Earth and it has been a predicted to the explode. However, new observations reveal it is a not ready to give up yet.

HIGHLIGHTS

Betelgeuse is the nearest red super-giant star to the Earth

It is a  garnered global attention when it is a suddenly began  to a dimming in a 2019

The bright red super-giant star did blow up it is a top in a 2019

Every journey has a beginning and an a end, and so is the case for a cosmic objects, one among them is a red super-giant star — Betelgeuse. The star, in it is a final stages, is on a course to the explode and a part of did blow up in a 2019. Surprisingly, in the Hubble telescope has now  a witnessed it is a recovering from the event.

Betelgeuse is the nearest red super-giant star to the Earth and it  is a garnered global attention when it is a  suddenly began dimming in a 2019. It would be the first time that we will see a star collapsing and in the exploding as it is a  happens, making it a gold mine for a astrophysical research.

Astronomers have now to a confirmed with a evidence that the bright red super-giant star did blow up it is a top in a 2019, losing to a substantial part of it is a visible surface and producing to a gigantic Surface Mass Ejection (S M E). However, this was not in the same as that seen on our Sun, when it is a blows off it is a tenuous outer atmosphere in an a event called in  the Coronal Mass Ejection.

The explosion on a Betelgeuse, instead, blasted off the 400 billion times as much mass as a typical C M E on the Sun. Now, it is a slowly recovering from that are catastrophic are injury.

"Betelgeuse continues doing a some very unusual things right now. The interior is a sort of the bouncing," Andrea Duper of the Center for a Astrophysics | Harvard & the Smithsonian in a Cambridge said in a statement.

WATCHING A SUPER-GIANT STAR

Astronomers used in the Hubble telescope and in the several other observatories to look at the star since a 2019. The observations are yield clues as to the how red stars lose mass late in their lives as their nuclear fusion furnaces burn a out, before a exploding as a supernova. NASA said that the amount of the mass loss significantly affects in their fate. However, Betelgeuse's are surprisingly petulant behavior is not a evidence that in the star is about to the blow up a anytime soon.

"We have never before seen to a huge mass to a ejection of the surface of a star. We are left with a something going on that we do not a completely understand. It is a totally new phenomenon that we can be a observe directly and resolve surface details with a Hubble. We are watching a stellar evolution in a real-time," Andrea Duper added.

Researchers used to a spectroscopic and imaging data from in the STELLA robotic are  observatory,in the Fred L. Whipple Observatory's Tilling-hast Reflector Rachelle Spirograph (TREES), NASA's Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory in a spacecraft (STEREO-A), NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, and in the American Association of the Variable Star Observers (A A V S O).

WHAT HAPPENED IN A 2019?

Observatories are trained towards Betelgeuse in a 2019 noticed in the star to be a suddenly dimming in a brightness, which was a initially understood to be the beginning of it is a end. However, further are analysis revealed that the unexpected dimming was a caused by an a immense amount of the hot material ejected into a space, forming to a dust cloud that blocked starlight coming towards us.

Astronomers speculate that in the explosion was a likely caused by a plume, more than a million miles across, bubbling up from a deep inside in the star that produced pulsations that blasted off the chunk of the photo-sphere leaving in the star with a large cool surface area under in the dust cloud.

One of the brightest stars in the sky, Betelgeuse, is a easily found on the right shoulder of the constellation Orion, making it is a visible to even backyard telescopes. The star is now so big that if it is a replaced with the Sun at the center of our solar system, it is a outer surface would extend past in the orbit of  the Jupiter.
