What can you tell me about Injections of Synvisc or Hyalgan for osteoarthritis With my child going back to school, I am very worried about Head Lice. What can you tell me about its causes and treatments? With the start of day care and the school year, the Nassau County Department of Health receives an increased number of telephone queries regarding head lice. Although not a major health hazard, head lice may be difficult to eliminate if not promptly and properly treated. Contrary to a common misconception, lice cannot "jump" from person to person nor are lice a sign of poor hygiene or limited to children. Lice are easily transmitted from one person to another by sharing combs, brushes, headgear, and clothing or by coming in contact with infested bed linens, furniture, stuffed toys, cushions and carpeting.

According to The Merck Manual1 irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is defined as a motility disorder of the small and large intestines associated with variable degrees of abdominal pain, constipation, and/or diarrhea largely as a reaction to stress. This syndrome represents approximately half of all GI referrals or initial GI complaints in both private practice and institutional care facilities. Women suffer from this condition three times more often then men. Other symptoms include abdominal bloating, flatulence, nausea, headache, fatigue, lassitude, depression, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. Modern Western medicine divides this syndrome into two patterns: 1) spastic colon type accompanied by abdominal pain and 2) the painless diarrhea type. In this article, I am primarily discussing the spastic colon type of IBS. yang ming

M agazine for Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Hypnosis By Melissa J. Roth , CHt., DCH(c) Irritable Bowel Syndrome, also known as spastic colon, colitis, spastic colitis or nervous stomach, are a baffling and complex set of gastrointestinal symptoms that affect 15% to 20% of the population (approximately 20 million people). It is characterized by intermittent abdominal cramping, constipation, diarrhea, a combination of both constipation and diarrhea, pain and bloating. Some IBS patients report having both constipation and diarrhea in the same day. Two thirds of the patients are women. It is the second most cited reason for missed work days. It accounts for approximately one half of all visits to gastroenterologists. The causes of IBS are unknown. A diagnosis of IBS is actually a diagnosis of exclusionyou rule out everything else. Since IBS symptoms overlap a number of other, potentially life threatening conditions, it is imperative that the person see his/her physician or a gastroenterologist, to receive a proper diagnosis. While it isn't clear what causes it, we know that people with IBS have changes in the way sensations are perceived in the colon. And there are some anatomical changes in the lining of the colon and to the nervous system of the colon. What causes these changes is unknown.

Go back to Torso COLON and RECTUM Large Intestine The colon See Figure 5 receives water and undigested food products from the small intestine. Its function is to absorb water and to solidify the stool into a formed bolus which can be easily passed. If one ingests insufficient amounts of fiber in his diet, constipation may develop. Fiber is anything not digested or absorbed by the small intestine and which passes into the colon. Bran is one example of fiber. Colon Disorders Constipation, Diarrhea, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Spastic Colon, Mucus Colitis - Constipation usually develops because of the inadequate ingestion of food, particularly fiber and water. The colon depends upon a certain amount of fiber to produce adequate amounts of stool (bowel movement) which can be passed easily from the right side of the colon to the left side. Adequate water (2 1/2 quarts or more) must be consumed to assure that the stool is soft and not hard. Normal colon function also depends upon a certain amount of daily activity. In bedfast or inactive people constipation is more frequent. For more information on constipation click here ! The disorder called spastic colon or more recently termed irritable bowel syndrome , is where patients experience constipation, diarrhea, or alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea, in association with abdominal pain. This is a very common disorder and affects millions of people. It can often be treated by adding fiber and water to the diet. Sometimes medications are prescribed to decrease the spasm in the bowel. It is not a dangerous condition and does not predispose to the development of cancer.(

House of Noh The Journal Saturday, March 29, 2003 The rain came down in blasts Friday morning – barrages of big, long, comet-tailed, slashing drops. It was the kind of windy Chicago rainstorm where there’s no use in putting up an umbrella because the next gust will grab it and turn it inside out. I guess it’s true what my Mom had told me when I moved to the city. I had scoffed at her at the time. “Brian,” she had told me with motherly concern, “when you’re in the city you’re going to need both an umbrella AND a raincoat!” “Right! I had responded sarcastically, “I’ll need the raincoat for the drops of water that pass through the fabric of my umbrella!” Waiting at the bus stop I saw other people who had tried to put their umbrellas up into the wind. A foldable umbrella won’t re-close once it’s been pulled inside out and I saw at least three people that morning clutching half-unfurled black vinyl and steel-splined crippled bird wings at their side. Well anyway, that’s one of the things I was thinking about as I stood there at the bus stop Friday morning. I had plenty of time because the buses seemed to be running late. I also had time to write a haiku (although I believe that technically this would be considered a senryu) and I would like to share it with you:

The following is a Health Related Article from: ImmuneSupport.com Article Entitled: Dysautonomia and Fibromyalgia: PART TWO , Written Samuel K. Yue, M.D. Two Main Digestive Problems There are two main digestive problems, which affect many fibromyalgia patients: irritable bowel/spastic colon, and leaky gut. The irritable bowel or spastic colons are used to describe the propulsion of food through our GI tract, whereas leaky gut is used to describe the malabsorption of the nutrients within the GI track. Irritable Bowel/spastic colon The irritable bowel/spastic colon will be described first. Normally the foods are slowly propelled down the GI tract. Within 24 hours the non-absorbed but digested food slowly accumulates in the colon to be later evacuated. Because of the dysautonomia or the all or nothing type of autonomic response in fibromyalgia patients, the bowel behaves strangely and in extreme. The bowel either is too tight or too loose, resulting in constipation alternating with diarrhea. Initially the bowel may be too tight as in constipation, but the organ signals to the ANS (afferent impulses) is delayed until finally the threshold is reached and the signal

CATEGORIES TV RADIO COMMUNICATE ... INDEX SEARCH MONDAY 31st March 2003 Text only BBC Homepage Health Homepage Ask the Doctor ... Help Like this page? Send it to a friend! Ask the Doctor Q. Spastic colon, or irritable bowel I am 24. About 10 years ago I became bulimic and used a great deal of laxatives regularly. Since then, I have not been able to go to the toilet regularly. I do not use laxatives now, however, I have been prescribed them for this problem. I suffer immense lower abdominal pain, which extends to the lumber region of my vertebrae, and down my quadriceps. I am a self-employed fitness instructor and feel it is beginning to interfere with my career. Could you possibly explain further as to what Spastic Colon is, and whether it will go away eventually? The pain is making me severely depressed. Amanda Dr Trisha Macnair responds Spastic colon, these days more often called irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), is a very common disorder of the intestines that leads to symptoms such as pain, bloating, a change in bowel habits, and the production of mucus. There may be constipation or diarrhoea (or episodes of both of these). Another common symptom is the feeling that you need to open your bowels, but just can't. Many people get depressed about their symptoms, which they often feel aren't taken very seriously. IBS can causes immense pain and discomfort, and can seriously disrupt work and home life. But it does not cause permanent harm to the intestines, and doesn't cause intestinal bleeding or cancer. It's not life threatening.
