<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">All want to stay free from <a href="http://medical-dental-care.blogspot.com/p/medical-problems.html">diseases</a>. So, maximum people are worried about heart problems, diabetes, blood pressure, fever, influenza, common viral diseases. A lot of people do not think about their hands by which they do all works. Sometimes, people feel finger numbness or wrist, fingers, and <b>hand pain</b> and weakness progressively. It may be for a clinical condition called <a href="http://medical-dental-care.blogspot.com/2011/11/carpal-tunnel-syndrome.html" target="_blank">Carpal Tunnel Syndrome</a> /<b>CTS</b>.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We've 8 small bones in the wrist, called carpal bones. There is a ligament lying across the front of the wrist. So, between this, space is formed called <b>the carpal tunnel</b>. Few tendons (attach the forearm muscles to the fingers) and the median nerve (main nerve to the hand) pass through space. <i>Carpal Tunnel Syndrome</i> occurs when this space's reduced and compress/ increase pressure on the median nerve.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Compression of the median nerve is the main reason for <i>carpal tunnel syndrome</i>. For any condition that increase pressure on the median nerve leads to carpal tunnel syndrome. But, most cases of reasons are unknown. Performing repetitive motions of the hand and wrist can cause this. Typing on a computer keyboard may be the most common cause (according to specialists). Playing video games for a long time, sewing, driving, writing, use of hand tools or tools that vibrate etc are other reasons.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">There are some medical problems that can cause carpal tunnel syndrome, e.g- genetic factor, bone fracture and arthritis of the wrist, acromegaly, diabetes, obesity, oral contraceptives, alcoholism, an underactive thyroid, the menopause, kidney failure, dialysis etc.</span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Earwax is produced by glands in the skin on the outer part of the ear canal. It is medically referred to as cerumen. You may think it’s useless. But, the purpose of this wax is to trap dust and other small particles and not allowing them to reach and damage the eardrum. Normally, the wax dries up and falls out of the ear with trapped dust or debris.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Secretion of an excessive amount of earwax and not clearing it effectively may cause it. When people try to clean ears on their own by placing cotton swabs or other items, it may push wax deeper into the ear and result in blockage.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">What is Fungal Meningitis?</span></b></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Fungal meningitis is one type of meningitis which is caused by a fungal infection. It causes inflammation of the meninges which is the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Fungal meningitis is rare and usually occurs in people with weak immune systems. But, as we can’t see the future, we don’t know when some rare microorganisms or parasites will attack us. Many people have died recently in the United State. So, full information about Fungal meningitis is provided here for your awareness.</span><br />

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">The most common cause of <b>fungal meningitis</b> is Cryptococcus. </span>Anyone can get </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">fungal meningitis</span>. But, </span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">people with weak immune systems are more likely to get it.</span></span> Other fungi can also cause <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">fungal meningitis.

<span style="color: blue;"><b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Risk Factors of Fungal Meningitis</span></b></span></h2>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Following are the risk factors of </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Fungal Meningitis</i>-</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">High-risk group - People with weak immune systems, such as AIDS or cancer</span> </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Certain medications, and surgical procedures that weaken the immune system and leading to fungal meningitis.</span> </span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Premature babies with very low birth weights</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Pregnant women in the third trimester may get Coccidiodes infection.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">If you live in certain areas of the United States, it may increase your risk for fungal lung infections and can also spread to the brain. For example, bird and bat droppings in the Midwestern United States may contain Histoplasma, and soil in the Southwestern United States may contain Coccidioides. If you are African American or Filipino, you are more likely to get Coccidiodes infection.</span></li>

The most common viruses are adenoviruses, of which there are about 32 serotypes. Endemic adenovirus infection causes a common sore throat, in which the oropharynx and soft palate are reddened and the tonsils are inflamed and swollen. Within 1–2 days the tonsillar lymph nodes enlarge. Occasionally, localized epidemics due to adenovirus serotype 8 occur, particularly in schools during summer, with episodes of fever, conjunctivitis, pharyngitis, and lymphadenitis of the neck glands. The disease is self-limiting and only requires symptomatic treatment without antibiotics. A viral infection called mononucleosis may cause a severe sore throat.</span></div>

They are capable of multiplying by themselves. They are therefore designated as “Prokaryotic” cells in contrast to “Eukaryotic” cells which are more complex. Bacteria exist everywhere, inside and on our bodies. Most bacteria are quite beneficial for us and cause no harm. But, some bacteria cause </span><a href="http://medical-dental-care.blogspot.com/" style="text-align: justify;" target="_blank">diseases</a><span style="text-align: justify;">.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Viruses are a unique group of living agents, extremely small in size, usually beyond the resolution of a light microscope, possess the highest state of parasitism containing a single molecule of either DNA or RNA which has a protein shell and multiply by replication within the living cell. Outside of a living cell, a virus cannot exist. Viruses are not beneficial.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>What is Strep Throat?</b></span></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Strep throat is the most common bacterial infection of the throat, caused by Group A Streptococcus bacteria. Strep throat occurs most commonly in school-aged children and teens (between the ages of 5 and 15). But others may also develop it, too. Strep throat usually occurs in late fall and early spring. But, strep throat can occur anytime to the year.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<h2>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Why Does Strep Throat Occurs?</b></span></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Strep throat is highly contagious infection which is spread by close contact with an infected person through airborne droplets or, nasal secretions or, saliva. So, infection spreads easily among family members or in schools as they are in close contact.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Strep throat is mainly caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, or group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS). They invade the pharyngeal tissue and cause inflammation.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>How can </b><b>Pharyngitis</b><b> be Diagnosed?</b></span></h2>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The doctor will perform a physical examination and look for signs of pharyngitis. He will look at your throat, ears and nasal passages using a lighted instrument. Then, he will look at the lymph nodes in the jaw and neck to find out swell.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The doctor may suggest diagnostic tests that will look for strep infection. A rapid strep test with a swab specimen from the back of the throat may be performed by a doctor or his assistant immediately. But, it does not confirm that you don’t have a strep infection. So, he may send the throat swab to a laboratory for a strep culture. You may have to wait typically 24-48 hours to get the result.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">If epiglottitis or occasionally croup is suspected, he may suggest performing a neck X-rays. If mononucleosis is suspected, a blood count and antibody test may be helpful to confirm the diagnosis.</span></div>
