A wound that doesn’t heal within five to eight weeks despite of taking care of it is considered as Non-healing wounds. And, common chronic wounds are leg ulcers, ischemic wounds, diabetic foot ulcers, and pressure wounds.
Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, is described as a "silent killer" because it often has no warning signs or symptoms. High blood pressure is a common and dangerous condition that is caused by unhealthy lifestyles. If uncontrolled, high blood pressure can lead to heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, diabetes, and even death. In response, the Philippine government is providing free medications and health education programs to diagnose and treat high blood pressure, with the goal of decreasing its high incident rate in the country.
This document summarizes the epidemiology and prevalence of myocardial infarction (MI), also known as a heart attack. MI is most commonly caused by ischemic heart disease and can result from uncontrolled angina pectoris leading to ischemia. Risk factors include modifiable factors like smoking, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, as well as unmodified factors like age, gender, and family history. The morbidity and mortality rates of coronary artery disease and MI have been increasing worldwide and in developing countries. Every year over 735,000 Americans experience a heart attack, with 10% occurring before age 40 and 1 in 6 US deaths due to MI. A 2017 Saudi Arabian study found that half of participants had 3 or more risk
Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. Risk factors for heart attacks include physical factors like family history, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, lack of exercise, and high cholesterol. Emotional factors like Type A personality, anger, hostility, depression, and hopelessness can also increase risk. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, and managing stress levels can help prevent heart attacks.
This study explored risk factors for coronary artery disease among Lebanese and Armenian women in Lebanon. The authors conducted a descriptive study using a convenience sample of 83 women who attended health discussions at a medical center. Participants completed a questionnaire on demographics and health history and underwent clinical exams including blood pressure, BMI, and blood tests. The results found a high prevalence of risk factors including being over 50, post-menopausal, overweight, hypertensive, hypercholesterolemic, and having a family history of sudden cardiac deaths. While the sample was limited, the authors concluded that coronary artery disease is a significant health issue for women as well as men.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and in Malaysia. It occurs when the heart becomes inefficient at pumping blood due to issues like blocked arteries or heart muscle damage. Common types of heart disease include coronary heart disease, heart failure, and heart attack. Smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity are major risk factors. Symptoms can include chest pain, palpitations, and dizziness. To prevent heart disease, people should quit smoking, follow a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, and take medications as prescribed. Making lifestyle changes is key to reducing the risk of this serious condition.
Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are non-infectious medical conditions that are chronic and last for long periods of time, such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. While some NCDs progress slowly, others can result in rapid death like autoimmune diseases and stroke. Risk factors for NCDs include behaviors and environments that increase the chances of developing these chronic conditions.

A brief information about Anti-Hypertension
● What is hypertension?
● Hypertension is another name for high
blood pressure. It can lead to severe health
complications and increase the risk of
heart disease, stroke, and sometimes
death.
● Blood pressure is the force that a
person’s blood exerts against the walls
of their blood vessels. This pressure
depends on the resistance of the blood
vessels and how hard the heart has to
work.
The exact causes of high blood pressure are not
known, but several things may play a role,
including:
1. Smoking
2. Being overweight or obese
3. Lack of physical activity
4. Too much salt in the diet
5. Too much alcohol consumption (more
then 1 to 2 drinks per day)
6. Stress
7. Older age
8. Genetics
9. Family history of high blood pressure
10. Chronic kidney disease
11. Adrenal and thyroid disorders
12. Sleep apnea
Symptoms
● Most people with high blood pressure have no signs or symptoms,
even if blood pressure readings reach dangerously high levels.
● A few people with high blood pressure may have headaches,
shortness of breath, or nosebleeds, but these signs and
symptoms aren't specific and usually don't occur until high
blood pressure has reached a severe or life-threatening stage
Risk factors
● Age. The risk of high blood pressure
increases as you age. Until about age 64,
high blood pressure is more common in
men. Women are more likely to develop
high blood pressure after age 65.
● Drinking too much alcohol. Over time,
heavy drinking can damage your heart.
Having more than one drink a day for
women and more than two drinks a
day for men may affect your blood
pressure.
● Stress. High levels of stress can lead to
a temporary increase in blood pressure.
If you try to relax by eating more, using
tobacco or drinking alcohol, you may
only increase problems with high blood
pressure.
● Too much salt (sodium) in your diet
● Too little potassium in your diet
● Being overweight or obese
● Not being physically active
● Family history
● And more
Hypertension can cause kidney damage,
leading to kidney failure.
A review of current trends shows that the
the number of adults with hypertension increased
from 594 million in 1975 to 1.13 billion in 2015,
with the increase seen largely in low- and
middle-income countries. This increase is due
mainly to a rise in hypertension risk factors in
those populations.
Prevention
Reducing salt intake (to less than 5g daily)
Eating more fruit and vegetables
Being physically active on a regular basis
Avoiding the use of tobacco
Reducing alcohol consumption
Limiting the intake of foods high in saturated
fats
Eliminating/reducing trans fats in the diet
TREATMENTS

Grade 7 - Diseases (Communicable and Non-communicable Diseases) part 2Jansen Jacinto
The document discusses four main types of non-communicable (chronic) diseases: cardiovascular diseases, cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, and diabetes. It provides details on the causes and symptoms of heart attacks, strokes, hypertension, tumors (benign vs. malignant), the four main categories of cancer, ways to treat cancer, and types of diabetes. Throughout, it emphasizes the importance of healthy behaviors like avoiding tobacco, exercising, eating nutritious foods, limiting sun exposure and alcohol, and getting regular medical checkups to help reduce the risk of these chronic diseases.
The document discusses that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women, contrary to the myth that it mainly affects older men. While risk factors are the same, women experience heart disease differently than men. Women are more likely to have "normal" test results yet still suffer a heart attack. The symptoms of a heart attack in women also differ from the stereotypical symptoms experienced by men. The document emphasizes the importance for physicians to be aware of these gender differences in heart disease.
Cardiovascular diseases, cancers, heart attacks, and diabetes are among the highest killer diseases in the Philippines. Unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, smoking, alcoholism, and artificial preservatives contribute to these diseases. A cardiovascular disease affects the heart and blood vessels. A heart attack is caused by blocked blood flow to the brain, which can lead to brain cell death. High blood pressure from factors like obesity, heredity, stress, and smoking increases heart attack risks.
This document discusses the cardiovascular system and cardiovascular disease. It defines the cardiovascular system as including the heart and blood vessels which transport oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. It notes that heart disease is the number one cause of death in the US, accounting for over 950,000 deaths per year. Regular cardiovascular exercise can help reduce risk factors for cardiovascular disease and provide benefits like improved heart health and better management of body weight.
The document outlines various controllable and uncontrollable risk factors for cerebrovascular disease. Controllable risks include smoking, hypertension, artery disease, history of transient ischemic attacks, diabetes, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, obesity, pregnancy, alcohol/drug use, and brain injury. Uncontrollable risks include age, gender, heredity, race, and prior stroke or heart attack. Specific risk factors discussed further include hypertension, heart disease, transient ischemic attacks, hematocrit/fibrinogen levels, sickle cell disease, lifestyle factors like age, smoking, genetics, and being male, diabetes mellitus, migraines, and retinal emboli.
PERCEPTIONS Vs REALITY:WOMEN AND HEART DISEASEHarilal Nambiar
This document discusses perceptions and realities about women and heart disease. It notes that heart disease is the number one killer of women, yet they are less likely to be correctly diagnosed due to perceptions that heart disease primarily affects men and that women experience different symptoms than men. The document summarizes several risk factors for heart disease in women such as high cholesterol, smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, lack of exercise, and family history. It provides statistics on the prevalence of these conditions in women and how they can be managed through lifestyle changes and medical treatment to reduce heart disease risk.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is caused by atherosclerosis in the lower extremities. Symptoms include intermittent claudication or pain in the calves, thighs, or hips with exercise that is relieved by rest. Diagnosis is made through physical exam including checking pulses and calculating the ankle-brachial index. Treatment goals are to relieve pain, heal wounds, avoid amputation, and limit the level of amputation through revascularization procedures. For non-healing wounds or gangrene, referral to a vascular specialist is important for angiosome-directed revascularization to restore straight-line blood flow to the affected area.

Certain chemicals, such as phthalates and parabens, can disrupt the body's hormones and have significant effects on health. According to data, hormone-related health issues such as uterine fibroids, infertility, early puberty and more aggressive forms of breast and endometrial cancers disproportionately affect Black women. Our guest speaker, Jasmine A. McDonald, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Columbia University in New York City, discusses the scientific reasons why Black women should pay attention to specific chemicals in their personal care products, like hair care, and ways to minimize their exposure.
This particular slides consist of- what is Pneumothorax,what are it's causes and it's effect on body, risk factors, symptoms,complications, diagnosis and role of physiotherapy in it.
This slide is very helpful for physiotherapy students and also for other medical and healthcare students.
Here is a summary of Pneumothorax:
Pneumothorax, also known as a collapsed lung, is a condition that occurs when air leaks into the space between the lung and chest wall. This air buildup puts pressure on the lung, preventing it from expanding fully when you breathe. A pneumothorax can cause a complete or partial collapse of the lung.
Digital Health in India_Health Informatics Trained Manpower _DrDevTaneja_15.0...DrDevTaneja1
Digital India will need a big trained army of Health Informatics educated & trained manpower in India.
Presently, generalist IT manpower does most of the work in the healthcare industry in India. Academic Health Informatics education is not readily available at school & health university level or IT education institutions in India.

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.
