Rubella
16 February 2025
Rubella is a highly contagious viral illness that typically causes mild fever, a mild rash, and swollen lymph nodes. While most cases are not severe, if a pregnant woman contracts rubella early in her pregnancy, the virus can pass from her to the developing baby via the bloodstream, potentially leading to birth defects or even fetal death.How is rubella spread? Rubella is transmitted through direct contact with the nasal or throat secretions of an infected person. It can also spread by inhaling droplets released into the air when someone who is infected sneezes, coughs, or speaks. What are the symptoms of rubella? Rubella is usually a mild disease that may show few or no symptoms. When symptoms do appear, they can include a rash, mild fever, joint pain, headache, general discomfort, runny nose, sore throat, and red eyes. The lymph nodes located behind the ears and at the back of the neck may become swollen, leading to tenderness and/or pain. The rash, which can be itchy, begins on the face and spreads downward, typically lasting around three days. In up to half of all rubella cases, a rash is not present.
What is cholesterol?
16 February 2025
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance present in every cell of your body. Your body requires some cholesterol to produce hormones, vitamin D, and substances that aid in food digestion. The body produces all the cholesterol it needs. Cholesterol is also found in animal-based foods like egg yolks, meat, and cheese. If there is too much cholesterol in your blood, it can mix with other substances to form plaque. This plaque adheres to the walls of your arteries, leading to a condition called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis can result in coronary artery disease, where the coronary arteries become narrowed or even blocked. What are HDL, LDL, and VLDL? HDL, LDL, and VLDL are types of lipoproteins, which are a mix of fat (lipid) and protein. The lipids need to attach to the proteins to travel through the blood. Each type of lipoprotein has a specific function: • HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein. It's often called "good" cholesterol because it helps remove cholesterol from your body. It carries cholesterol from other areas back to your liver, where it is then eliminated. • LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein. It's sometimes referred to as "bad" cholesterol because high levels of LDL can cause plaque to build up in your arteries. • VLDL stands for very low-density lipoprotein. VLDL is also considered "bad" cholesterol as it contributes to plaque buildup in your arteries. However, VLDL and LDL are different; VLDL primarily carries triglycerides, while LDL mainly carries cholesterol.
What is blood pressure?
07 February 2025
Approximately one in three adults has high blood pressure, though many are unaware of it. Often referred to as a "silent killer," high blood pressure typically has no noticeable symptoms, but it can lead to severe health issues such as heart attacks or strokes. The positive news is that high blood pressure, or hypertension, can often be prevented or managed. Early detection and simple lifestyle changes can help prevent significant damage to your health.What is the function of blood pressure?Blood pressure is the force or pressure of blood within your arteries. Every time your heart beats, it pumps blood into the arteries, which transport it throughout your body. This occurs 60 to 100 times per minute, every minute of the day. The arteries provide oxygen and nutrients to your entire body, enabling it to operate properly.Arteries influence blood pressure much like the physical characteristics of a garden hose affect water pressure. When the hose narrows, the water pressure increases at that point. The health of the arteries plays a significant role in blood pressure and circulation, and if the arteries become narrowed, they can eventually block blood flow, leading to serious health risks like stroke and heart attack.
