High-fiber diet alters gut bacteria to protect against severe food allergy

A food allergy is one type of abnormal immune response and the signs and symptoms may range from mild to severe. The gut bacteria may be altered by a high-fiber diet rich in vitamin A. That could help to prevent or reverse food allergies. This is the current prime focus of research in medicinal research.

The number of food allergy patients increasing day by day, also it is estimated that in the United States around 15 million people have food allergy. Allergies occur when immunoglobulin E (IgE) that is a part of the body’s immune system, binds to food molecules. Allergic reactions to food vary from one person to other person, but the symptoms may include tingling or itching in the mouth, hives, nausea or vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhoea.

In more severe or emergency food allergy cases, a person suffering from  food allergy may experience swelling of the lips, swelling of the tongue, and/or throat, shortness of breath, trouble swallowing, chest pain, and a sudden drop in blood pressure. Occurrence of severe symptoms - alone or alongside milder ones - could be indicators of anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction that requires immediate medical attention. Obviously, the most ideal approach to keep away from allergic reaction to nourishment is to avoid consuming the food that triggers it, though this can be easier or simpler said than done. Presently, another investigation suggests there might be a simple way to prevent or reverse food allergies: a high-fiber diet, enriched with vitamin A.
The diagnosis of food allergy is usually based on a medical history, elimination diet, skin prick test, blood tests for food-specific IgE antibodies, or oral food challenge. Event of extreme side effects - nearby milder ones - could be markers of hypersensitivity, a possibly perilous response that requires prompt therapeutic consideration.

Newborn screening for critical congenital heart disease using pulse oximetry

Newborn screening for critical congenital heart disease using pulse oximetry: The most common congenital disorder in newborns is congenital heart disease (CHD). In the first year of life requiring surgery or catheter- based intervention is known as Critical CHD. Normally in case of infants with critical cardiac lesions, the risk of morbidity and mortality increases when there is a delay in diagnosis and timely referral to a tertiary center with expertise in treating these patients. Pulse oximetry:   it is a non-invasive method for monitoring a person's oxygen saturation. The application mode of pulse oximetry includes, a sensor device is placed on a thin part of the patient's body, usually a fingertip or earlobe, or in the case of an infant, across a foot. In this process the device passes two wavelengths of light through the body part to a photodetector.  The changing absorbance at each of the wavelength are measured by this, which allowing it to determine th...

Acute Abdomen Symptoms and Management:

Image
Acute Abdomen Symptoms and Management: The acute abdomen shows a rapid onset of severe life- threatening symptoms includes the sudden, spontaneous, nontraumatic disorder whose chief manifestation is in the abdominal area.  For acute abdomen urgent operation may be necessary. Acute abdomen has a large number of possible causes and so a structured approach is required. If the patient has an acute surgical problem the initial assessment for acute abdomen should attempt that requires immediate and prompt surgical intervention, or urgent medical therapy. Abdominal pain is a common problem. Symptoms and Causes: Vomiting, Haematemesis or melaena, Stool/urine colour, Fainting, dizziness or palpitations, Fever/rigors, Rash or itching, Urinary symptoms, recent weight loss. Some common causes of acute abdomen usually involve a slower rate of bleeding, but with urgent surgery still required, include bleeding gastric ulcer, ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and trauma. ...

Bronchitis (Acute) Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, and Cures:

Image
Bronchitis (Acute) Symptoms, Causes, Treatment, and Cures: An inflammation of the lining of your bronchial tubes is known as Bronchitis. There are two types of bronchitis    1) acute bronchitis, and 2) chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis is defined as a cough lasting five or more days also known as a chest cold, the cough may linger for weeks. In some cases people with recurrent acute bronchitis develop chronic bronchitis and a respiratory infection. Chronic bronchitis is known to be lasts for at least 3 months, 2 years in a row. It is defined as a cough that occurs every day with sputum production.   Medical attention is required for chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is one of the conditions included in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Viral or bacterial infection are the most common way for infection, due to this people become infected with or “get” acute bronchitis.   Irritants like tobacco smoke, air pollution, or chemicals ar...
