General Science / Re: What do nerves do in a human?

« on: 25/08/2018 19:25:10 »

Hey. Do not quite understand what exactly you asked. Information about this a lot on the Internet.
The human nervous system is, perhaps, the most complex system of any organism. Only the human brain contains more than 100 billion nerve cells, and each nerve cell can have up to 10,000 connections to other nerve cells.
This means that the nerve impulse is an electrochemical signal or from the brain can travel along 1015 possible routes. The nervous system has two main departments: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The peripheral nervous system includes nerves that carry sensory messages into the central nervous system and nerves that send information from the central nervous system to the muscles and glands.
There are three types of nerves in the human body, called sensory nerves, motor nerves and mixed nerves.
Sensory nerves. These are the nerves that send messages to the brain or spinal cord from the senses. They are enclosed in the form of bundles, like structures or nerve fibers in the peripheral nervous system. They are information from PNS to CNS.
Motor nerves - motor nerves - are those nerves that carry messages in the form of a response from the brain or spinal cord to other parts of the body, such as muscles and glands. They are responsible for the transmission of information from the CNS to the PNC
Mixed nerves are nerves that perform both sensory nerve action and motor nerve. Spinal nerves are functionally mixed and carry both sensory and motor fibers.
The neuron itself has a primary structure with an axon or soma body, a bunch of squiggles on a soma, called dendrites, and a long unfortunate structure called an axon, with synaptic pens on the other side of the axon. Nerve fiber is a set of axons that extends from the body of the cell to the point where it innervates. The nerve fiber also contains other cells, such as Schwann cells, which create a layer around the nerve, called the myelin sheath.
Based on what the nerves do and what they transport, they can be classified.
These can be nerves that arise from the brain itself, called the cranial nerves or those that arise from a spinal column called the spinal nerves.
Thanks for reading.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Has anyone tried hypnosis for chronic pain relief?

« on: 20/08/2018 20:06:11 »

Hey. I also had a hope for a cure for infertility by hypnosis. I will tell you that I failed. Hypnosis can not all. There are many myths, misconceptions and misinformation about this - perhaps even more than about any other treatment for chronic pain. People have preconceptions based on stage performers, television, movies and rumors - and these cultural references tend to adorn what he can do.
Hypnosis can not cure everything. This is not dangerous. Participants will not be asked to do anything against their will.
Finally, medical hypnosis is usually not taught as part of the curriculum of most health care providers. Lack of knowledge about the subject area leads to "superstitions", even within the medical community.
For myself, I found that hypnosis is effective for relieving pain.
Has a greater impact on the impact of pain, rather than on the feeling of pain
It can be more effective, or at least equivalent to other methods of treatment of acute and chronic pain
May be able to provide anesthesia, reduce stress, remove anxiety, improve sleep, improve mood and reduce the need for opioids
Can improve the effectiveness of other well-established methods of treating pain
Some people are better suited to respond to hypnosis than others.
Hypnosis is successfully used for people with various pain conditions in arthritis. Other medical conditions commonly referred to as those improved with hypnosis include: Headaches
fibromyalgia
cancer
Burns
Backache
Personally, I was not helped by hypnosis in my problem. I decided on the problem of infertility in Ukraine at the Clinic for Reproductive Health.
My advice is - do not believe who says that hypnosis heals everything. Good luck

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Could an arachnoid cyst cause mental health problems?

« on: 08/08/2018 21:27:40 »

Hey. My dad had such a problem. I read a lot about her and can give advice.
I know that most of the arachnoid cysts are congenital (at birth), they usually do not cause any symptoms throughout the life of a person. The development of symptoms depends on the size and specific location of the cyst in the brain. Small cysts usually do not cause symptoms, and most of them remain constant in size. However, some of them increase in size and eventually cause the appearance of symptoms, especially if they click on the cranial nerve, brain or spinal cord.
If the cyst exerts an increased pressure on brain structures, neurological symptoms may develop. These symptoms can include developmental delays, behavioral changes, inability to control voluntary movements (ataxia), difficulty with balance, walking and cognitive impairment. I have also heard of weakness or paralysis from one side of the body (hemiparesis). Symptoms are often eliminated or improved in treatment, but if left untreated, the progressive growth of the arachnoid cyst can eventually cause permanent severe neurological damage.
If you need medical advice, you can contact the doctors or other health professionals who have experience with this disease. You can find these specialists through advocacy organizations, clinical trials or articles published in medical journals. You can also go to a university or a tertiary health center in your area because these centers tend to see more complicated cases and have the latest technology and treatments.
If you can not find a specialist in your field, try contacting national or international specialists. They can refer you to someone they know, through conferences or research. Some specialists may be willing to consult with you or your local doctors by phone or e-mail, if you can not go to them for medical help
All the best to you.

Physiology & Medicine / Re: Diet and Weight Loss | The best diet plan and natural ways of weight loss

« on: 04/08/2018 21:30:27 »

Hey. This topic is interesting for many. I also have this problem and have learned a lot of information. I can give it to you. Weight loss, as a rule, is a difficult task for many people, since the results of weight loss can quickly become very encouraging. Many people are easily tempted to try to quickly correct a diet to quickly achieve the desired results. Quick weight loss solutions are quite popular simply because you notice a significant change in scale in the shortest time. Strategies such as missing food, fast juice, and reducing calories are ultimately not healthy.
Splashes of exercise or a diet crash are not the most healthy way to lose excess pounds, mainly because your body requires gradual changes in terms of exercise and food. For example, if you have not been exercising for a long time, you should not rush with a treadmill or run several miles a day. You just feel demonized, dull or even wounded during such activities. This also applies to people who suddenly begin to starve or restrict caloric intake, resulting in a deficiency of vitamins and nutrients.
Your body requires and uses food to produce energy. Excess energy is stored as fat, so if you eat more than what your body needs for cell maintenance and other daily activities, you are probably gaining weight. To lose weight in a healthy way, your body needs to use stored fat, reducing calorie intake or increasing your level of physical activity
Another important strategy that you should note is to slowly make changes. For example, eating an extra biscuit every week leads to an increase in weight of 5 pounds per year, if you cut this biscuit out of your diet, you will lose a similar amount. Healthy weight loss involves a long-term change in your eating habits, while setting goals for weight loss in short periods of time will say weeks and survive them for a month, and then annually.
If you daily increase the amount of exercise and adhere to the same calorie intake and diet, you will necessarily lose weight. Many people hate the gym or participate in vigorous exercise, but the good news is that even light exercises, such as a few minutes of walking, are very effective if performed regularly. You can participate in numerous activities that will help improve your fitness levels, such as cycling, swimming, running, aerobics, racquet sports and walking. The most important thing is to find a favorite activity that is within your budget. Simple actions such as walking, not driving or walking down stairs or down, instead of lifting the elevator, are very important for healthy weight loss.

If you are overweight and continue to use your eating habits, you probably will not lose extra pounds. To safely lose weight, you must limit the consumption of certain foods high in calories, such as sweets or cakes. Consuming 300 to 450 calories less each day will result in a weight loss equivalent to one to two pounds per week. Some of the healthy ways to reduce calorie intake include replacing fruit hearts and carbonated beverages with water, do not put sugar in your coffee o tea, replace whole milk with fat-free or semi-cleaned, reduce serving size, restrict unhealthy foods such as chips and cookies, consumption of alcohol.
