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
than just your joints may damage skin eye lungs heart and blood vessels. An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. this affects the lining of your joints which causes joint swelling that may lead to them deforming or bone erosion(the loss of bone). The swelling of the joints is what causes the other body parts to be affected therefore causing some disability. Every 1 in 5 people get rheumatoid arthritis
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.
Arthritis affects people of all age groups. More than 100 types of arthritis are known. Among these osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis having the highest incidence. One of the major causes of chronic debilitation in industrialized nations is Osteoarthritis which results from damage to the joints, which may be due to trauma, infection, or age-related wear. Rheumatoid arthritis is encountered less frequently than osteoarthritis and is estimated to affect around one per cent of the world’s population. Amongst patients of Rheumatoid arthritis, women are three times more likely to be affected by this condition than men. This condition is caused by an inflammatory process where the body starts attacking itself. Rheumatoid arthritis also affects several joints, with inflammation sometimes seen in and around the lungs, the heart, the eyes and the skin. The most commonly reported complaint by arthritis patients is pain. The pain might be from the joint itself and be a result of inflammation, damage from the disease, or through daily wear and tear. Muscle pain is also common and is caused by having to force movements against stiff and painful joints. Although range of movement in the affected joint may be limited and uncomfortable, physical exercise has been shown to benefit those with arthritis. Physical therapy has been shown to significantly improve function, decrease pain in the long term and delay the need for surgery in advanced cases. The majority of arthritis cases occur among theelderly, however the disease can occur in children as well. Over 70% of the population that get affected by arthritis in North America are over the age of 65 (4). The disease occurs more commonly in females than males in all races, age groups, and ethn...
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.
Apart from those mentioned above, other causes include knee injury, bone dysplasias, and avascular necrosis.
The symptoms of osteoarthritis are pain and loss of mobility. According to the study, the risk of getting osteoarthritis increases with a higher body mass index. As such, the first course of action before having a total hip replacement operation is to decrease body weight. A physician will suggest a different diet, additional exercises and possibly pain medication. The physician will also suggest walking aids, such as a cane. If the pain continues or increases, the physician will suggest the operation. The risk of osteoarthritis also increases with age. The longer you are alive, the more wear and tear of the joint occurs. Other reasons to get hip replacement surgery include Rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
