These effects are caused by arthritis. They There are over 100 different types of arthritis, RA or Rheumatoid Arthritis is considered to be one of the worst types. Rheumatoid arthritis is the most common form of arthritis. In this, the joint lining swells invading surrounding tissues which the body responds by attacking/destroying thinking that the joint surface is a virus, the swollen joint surface the cause of this is unknown. although we know that it isn't hereditary having a close family member with this disease can increase the chance of getting it. Foods like red meat that have fat, fried foods, dairy products, alcohol and tobacco, salt and preservatives, corn oil, foods that are heated, grilled, fried, or pasteurized. May affect more
Lupus is inflammatory disease caused when the immune system attacks its own tissues and organs, and this inflammation affects many different body parts such as the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart and lungs. Second is the Celiac disease and it is an autoimmune reaction from eating gluten, and it may lead to damage in the small intestine because this disease attacks the villi, the projections that line the small intestine for protection. The last example is Rheumatoid Arthritis, an inflammatory disorder in which affects many joints, mainly in hands and feet, and then causing your joints to painfully swell and possibly cause bone erosion.
The family has a tendency for eating fried foods, potato chips, etc., which can lead to high amounts of saturated fats and trans fats in the diet. Therefore, can raise LDL levels and put the family at risk for heart disease, especially the older family members. They also consume high amounts of refined and added sugars that can lead to elevated triglycerides, which
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory and an autoimmune disease that occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissue (Rheumatoid arthritis, 2017). This disease affects the entire body, which is called a systemic (means entire body) disease. Arthritis is derived from the word part arthr-, which means “joint,” and -itis, which means “inflammation,” so altogether it means “inflammation of the joints.” It creates inflammation that causes the tissue that lines the inside of joints (synovium) to thicken. About 1.5 million people in the U.S. are affected. It affects all races, but it affects three times as many women than men (What is Rheumatoid Arthritis, n.d.). Overtime, rheumatoid arthritis causes painful swelling that can potentially result in bone erosion or joint deformity, which leads up to physical disabilities. RA can affect more than just your joints, but can spread to body systems, skin, eyes, lungs, heart, blood vessels, e.t.c (Rheumatoid arthritis, 2017).
In historical times it was linked to rich lifestyles heavy in meat and alcohol, it was often referred to as “disease of the kings” for this reason. In recent times it has been discovered which particular foods and lifestyles trigger gout. In most cases it is caused by too much uric acid in the blood,. An excess of uric acid is also known as hyperuricemia. This surplus of uric acid can lead to a build up of fluid surrounding the joints which form small crystals inside and around the joints. Gout typically results from genetic and environmental factors (Rheumatology (2009) 48 (suppl 2): ii2-ii8). These crystals cause intense pain, inflammation and swelling, this can be very debilitating to the sufferer. Symptoms of gout develop very quickly over a period of hours and can remain for between three and ten days, after this attack the joint usually returns to normal. Certain treatments however can alleviate symptoms. While Gout has an affinity for the toes, it can affect any joint. Besides the toes, it is most common in the ankles, knees and fingers. Fortunately Gout can be controlled be medications, lifestyle and dietary changes. Despite the genetic link to the development of gout, many lifestyle changes can aid in the
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting more than 27 million Americans (LeMone, Burke, Bauldoff, 2011). It is caused when the cartilage in the joints breaks down, causing the bones of the joint to rub against one another. This causes pain, stiffness, and loss of motion in the joint. Osteoarthritis is most prevalent in those 65 and older, but can affect those of any age. In addition, African Americans and Hispanics report a higher incidence of arthritis than Caucasians (LeMone, Burke, Bauldoff, 2011). Although the cause is unknown, it is believed that the increasing age of the population, prevalence of obesity and injuries add to the progression of the condition. Osteoarthritis can affect any joint in the body; however, those of the hand, hip, and knee are often the most common. This condition may be asymptomatic, or may present symptoms including soreness, stiffness and pain. The symptoms are more common in the older population, those with limited activity levels, and those who are obese. Joint cartilage thins over time, causing an increased risk for symptoms in the elderly, and obesity puts extra pressure on the joints during activity. Osteoarthritis is commonly diagnosed with the use of a physical assessment along with results of radiology testing such as X-Ray and MRI.
Connective Tissues are tissues that connect, supports, and separates tissue organs. This tissue is known to be a tissue that has many diseases. Lupus disease being one of the many.
Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that occurs when the body's immune system attacks its tissues and organs. This is similar to “friendly fire” and can cause permanent scarring that in the end will damage the function of certain organs and systems in the body. There are five different types of Lupus; Discoid lupus erythematosus, Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, Drug-induced lupus, Neonatal lupus and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). However, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) being the most common and typically being considered the most serious, this paper will discuss this type in detail. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus accounts for approximately 70 percent of all cases of lupus (Statistics on Lupus).
It is still unknown what the cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis is but there are some theories that have not been proven. The oldest theory states that viruses and bacteria are the cause of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Now with all the research being done, scientists believe that Rheumatoid Arthritis is hereditary. Specific genes have been found to make people more likely to get Rheumatoid Arthritis. Some scientists also think that some environmental factors and infections might cause the immune system to attack. Contributing factors are smoking and being exposed to silica metal. So although the exact causes are unknown, the result is that the immune system is ready to make the joins and tissues inflamed by activating immune cells.
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Imagine being diagnosed with a condition that flares in and out of control repeatedly every year. Your doctor has told you that the cause could be genetic, or it could be directly related to previous toxins or illnesses you may have been exposed to, leaving you frustrated and looking for answers. None of your family members have ever had any trouble with their joints, but yours have been so painful and tender lately that even getting out of bed in the morning seems like a chore. Turns out, you have an autoimmune disease that affects about 1.3 million people in our country every year. Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic rheumatic disease that directly attacks your body’s joints and their surrounding tissues, causing pain, inflammation, and damage.
safflower, soy, and sunflower oils. In general, stay away from foods that have a long shelf life and are loaded with preservatives. Foods high in simple carbohydrates, such as white bread and bagels, English muffins, and rice and corn cereals, should also be avoided. Artificial flavors and colors in foods can also trigger dangerous inflammation.
High-fat meats, such as hot dogs and fatty cuts of red and white meats, such as rib eye steak, sausage, ham, and bacon.
I am presenting my paper as medication to treat an ailment called ankylosing spondylitis and the classification is for analgesic category. The medication brand name I choose is Hirudinea it’s a fresh water kind of leech mainly found in the region of Southeast Asia in the island of the Philippines. I had a few attached to my legs when crossing river on a low laying water where they slashes their sharp teeth into my skin and start sucking my blood. ¹They can inject into the wound a substance that keeps the blood from clotting. Generic name is acanthobdella which is a tubular body like animalistic life creature that thrives in subsurface of the earth.
Apart from those mentioned above, other causes include knee injury, bone dysplasias, and avascular necrosis.
Arthritis occurs when the body incorrectly identifies its own tissue as foreign matter and attacks it. Arthritis includes a set of more than eighty autoimmune diseases. Arthritis attacks connective tissues and joints. It causes stiffness, pain, inflammation, and swelling of the joints. Some kinds are crippling, but rarely leads to death. There are many different kinds of arthritis, the main ones being Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis; others include gout and ankylosing spodylitis.
Home Care and Easing Arthritis Pain Inflammation is the body's way of responding to danger and protecting itself. When the body misreads a situation, however, the result can be painful. Dr. Mansour Mohamadzadeh, director of the Center for Inflammation and Mucosal Immunology at the University of Florida, notes, "In a healthy situation, inflammation serves as a good friend to our body. But if immune cells start to overreact, that inflammation can be totally directed against us." Some of the reasons the body may react with inflammation include bacteria, viruses, parasites, cancerous cells, degenerative diseases, and autoimmune disorders.
