SOME INTERESTING INFORMATION



About the Common Cancer of the Skin - Basal Cell Carcinoma
By Knut Holt
http://www.abicana.com/health_information.htm

-------------------------------------------------------
Basal cell carcinoma is a very common type of skin canser. It affects mainly people after 50. It remains usually in the skin and develops usually so slow that it never gets life threatening, but over time it can destroy large skin areas.

-------------------------------

common,skin,cancer,basal,cell,carcinoma,symptoms,causes,prevention,treatment
--------------------------------

Basal cell carcinoma is the most common type of all cancers. It is said to attack 30% of all persons some time in life. However, it probably occur in most persons to some degree if one gets old enough. 80% of the occurances are on the head and neck

It grows very slowly and does very seldome spread to other parts of the body than the skin. Therefore it does not threaten the life of the patient, but can destroy large skin areas, give serious cosmetic problems and cause a high degree of discomfort. The cancer is higly variable and it is sometimes difficult to distinguish between this type of cancer and the more dangerous skin cancer, malignant melanoma, so all unnormal growth in the skin should therefore be investigated.

By basal cell carcinoma the lowest cells in the outer skin layer, the basal cells, get unnormal and begin to divide uncontrolably. The cells will spread upwards and to all sides, but more selldom downwards to lower areas of the skin. Indiviual cells only very selldom spread by blood and lymph to remote areas.The cancer is therefore often confined to the epidermis but can also infiltrate deeper layers of the skin. The basal cells are those that normally divide and make replacement for the outer cells of the epidermis, but then in an orderly fashion.

Basal cell carcinoma often appear as irregular lunps that grow and spread at the surface of the skin. It can also appear as irregular flakes of variable thickness that spread on the skin or like thickened scars. The growths can be pale, pearly or shiny, but can also be red or brownish. Sometimes sores develop in the cancerous tissues, and sometimes the cancer appear mainly as sores, often with thicker rims that are spreading.

The types appearing as lumps, so-called nodular basal cell carcinoma, can often be diagosed only from the appearance. Other types must be diagosed by taking a biopsi under local anesthesia to get a certain diagosis, because early occurances very often resamble other types of skin lessions and skin cancers.

Excessive sun exposure is a causing factor of this cancer. Genatic predisposition is another causing factor. People with pale skin get in more easily than people with darker skin. Two thirds of the occurances are on skin surfaces often exposed to the sun.

Basal cell carcinoma can often be prevented by avoiding excessive sun exposure. If one wants to or has to expose the skin for prolonged sunshine, one must use a protective cream with a high shielding factor. for people with eccessive damage in the skin due to sun exposure, cytostatica is sometimes used to prevent the damage to develop further to cancer.

Treatment of basal cell carcinoma is successful in most cases, but it can be difficult to remove all the cancer tissue when it has spread wide or there are many cancerous spots. Bacause the cancer is not usually a life-threatening disease, the method used will often depend upon possible cosmetic results, cost and time duration for treatment.

Surgical excission has been a standard treatment of the disease. For small lessions that do not invade the skin, it is a very simple and succesful treatment.

Chemotherapy with locally applied cystostatica is a simple treatment method with cure rates of 70-90% . The agents most often used are 5-fluorouracil and imiquimod. The drug visimodegib has newly come into use for this disease for recurring occurance and when the cancer has spread to other organs..

Radiation therapy is a traditional treatment with a high degree of success, but used excessively it will damage normal tissue too. It is usually used where it will be complicated to remove the cancer with surgery or where surgery will give bad cosmetic effects. It is often combined with some degree of surgery.

Cryosurgery is destroying the cancer tisue by freezing. Is successful in most cases, but it is difficult to controle the effects of the treatment so that too much normal skin can destroyed by the freezing.

Photodynamic therapy is a newly developed method to treat basal-cell carcinoma. By this methods substances that change the chemical structure when illuminated are applied to the skin. One lets the substance stay on some time to spread into the skin. Then light with the approprtiate frequencies is directed towards the area that is treated. Methyl aminolevulinate is a photosensitizer approved for use in many countries. This therapy is also used in other skin cancer types. The method is mostly used in complicated and extended cases of skin cancer.

By electrodessication and curettage the surface of the affected area is scraped by an appropriate tool. Then the sraped area is heated by elctric current applied to te area, which softens the underlaying tissue. Then the underlaying tissue is scraped. The cycle of scraping and burning is repeated some times. The method is easy to use, but doe not allways give good cosmetic results. It is therefore mostly used at seurfaces where the apearance is not so important.

The herb Euphorbia peplus contains substances that seem to enhance the immune reponce towards the canser and topical drugs with these substances are under development.

How to Cure or Alleviate Edema, Including Lymphedema

By edema excessive fluid gather in body parts or greater areas of the body, making the areas swollen. Edema is most often a problem in the legs, but can occur anywhere in the body.

There are several types of edema, and many cases are also a mixture of more than one type. By lymphedema the drainage from the tissues through the lymph vessels are impaired or excessive fluid goes through the blood capillary walls into the spaces between the cells in a tissue. Edema can also occur because of poor drainage of blood through the veins towards the heart. Edema can further be caused by general accumulation of excessive fluid in the body.

The causes of edema are many. Edema is a symptom by most inflammations. Insufficient heart action by congestive heart failure can cause edema. A too high intake of salt can cause general water retention in the body. Sitting and standing long in the same position can cause edema in the lower limbs. A still sitting life without exercise can cause or aggravate edema.

Insufficiencies of the liver or kidneys can cause fluid retention and thereby edema. Edema can be a side effect of antihypertensive drugs, steroids surgery and radiation therapy. Further causes of different types of edema are varicose veins, cancer, hypothyroidism, blood clots, constipation and physical injuries.

To treat edema, it is important to treat the underlying disease or injury. However, medical treatment does not always cure the underlying condition or the cause is wholly or partially lifestyle aspects. Therefore various measures targeted directly against the edema are useful. These are presented here:

Pharmacological treatments: The physician will sometimes prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention in the body and thereby reduce edema. This treatment should however be used for serious edema or edema persistent when other measures do not work.

Salt intake restriction: Restriction of salt intake is an important measure by edema. People suffering from edema should avoid adding great amount of salt into their food or consume preprocessed food with a salty taste.

Diet: A good general diet that alleviates chronic inflammation is useful. The diet should especially contain enough sources of omega-3-fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids, like: Fat fish, seafood, flax oil, olive oil, almonds, rape oil and canola oil. Also vegetables and fruit in a natural shape are useful.

Avoiding constipation: Constipation should be treated, since a stomach engorged by excessive content can cause impairment of fluid circulation.

Variation of corporeal position: You should avoid sitting or standing still a long time during the day. When sitting during work or rest, you should change position with regular intervals.

Exercise: Every day you should have some exercise adjusted to your health condition. This could be walking, cycling, swimming, running or any other sport activity where you use greater parts of your body. Doing regular stretching exercises or yoga is useful. By severe edema special therapeutic exercises should be prescribed by a professional.

High position of limb: When you are sleeping or resting the swollen body parts can be placed in an elevated position by means of pillows, pads or by resting in an adjustable bed or chair.

Massage: By minor edema yourself, your spouse or a friend can massage the affected body part to alleviate the edema. The massage should be done in the direction of natural flow of blood and lymph that is towards the heart. You should however avoid massaging distinctly injured or distinctly inflamed body parts. By severe edema a professional massager should be engaged to perform the massage type called "manual lymphatic drainage".

Elastic bandaging: You can use elastic gloves, stockings, tapes or bandages around the swollen body parts during the day or during physical activities after instruction from a professional person.

Inflatable garments: There are inflatable garments to be found that can be used around the engorged body parts some times of the day. Also these should be used after professional instruction.

Sequential gradient pump therapy: One can get special electric pumps connected to inflatable garments. The pump inflates and deflates the garments repeatedly. Each garment has several rooms that are inflated sequentially in the direction of the natural fluid stream towards the heart. In this way the fluid is dynamically pumped the right way out of the engorged body part. This type of therapy is used in professional settings or at home after instruction from a professional.

Skin care: The skin on a body part affected by severe edema should attain special care to avoid and treat sores. Proper cleaning, daily use of moisturizing creams, proper rinsing of skin injuries, antiseptic creams by injuries.

Complete decongestive therapy: This is a complete set of edema treatment techniques done by a professional person combined with self-care instructed by the professional. The techniques used are: Manual lymphatic drainage, compression bandaging, therapeutic exercise and skin care.

Herbal and natural products: Many herbs and products composed of a blending of these herbs are used against edema. Such herbs are: Dandelion, Gingko biloba, horse chestnut, buchu, goldenrod, corn silk, horsetail, juniper, butchers broom, cleaver and ginger. Some people have experienced a good effect from using apple cider vinegar.

The flavonide rich product pycnognenol extracted from the bark of the French maritime pine has shown promising effects against edema according to scientific studies. The flavonides hydroxyethylrutosides also seem to have good effect against edema. Other natural substances that may help to treat edema are the flavonids diosmin and hesperidin and vitamin C.

OIL PULLING: The procedure called "oil pulling" may help for edema. It consists of rinsing the mouth with one tablespoon of natural oil for 15-20 minutes and then spitting the oil out. It is done in the morning before eating. Sesame or sunflower oils are usually recommended for this use.

What Happens Before, During and After surgery
by Knut Holt
http://www.abicana.com

When a child, a teenager or an adult have surgery or a complicated examination, a long list of preparations are performed in a specific sequence. During the surgery the bodily functions of the patient is supported and monitored by the means already prepared before the procedure as such. After the surgery the measures are also disconnected in a specific sequence.

One will usually give children more psychological preparation than adults. Children will more often get general anesthesia in cases where adults only get regional or local anesthesia. One will also monitor children more thoroughly, but the measures are mostly the same for adults and children.

There are also cultural differences in the routines from institution to institution and at diverse geographical regions. Therefore everything will not necessarily happen in exactly the same way at the place where you have surgery or perhaps work.

Greatest variation is perhaps to be found in the choice between general anesthesia and only regional or local anesthesia, especially for children.


INITIAL PREPARATIONS

There will always be some initial preparations, of which some often will take place in home before going to hospital.

For surgeries in the stomach area the digestive system often has to be totally empty and clean. This is achieved by instructing the patient to stop eating and only keep on drinking at least one day before surgery. The patient will also be instructed to take in some laxative solution that will loosen all stomach content and stimulate the intestines to expel the content effectively during toilet visits.

All patients will be instructed to stop eating and drinking some hours before surgery, also when a total stomach cleanse is not necessary, to avoid content in the stomach ventricle that can be regurgitated and cause breathing problems.

When the patient arrives in hospital a nurse will receive him and he will be instructed to shift to some kind of hospital dressing, which will typically be a gown and underpants, or a sort of pajama.

If the intestines have to be totally clean, the patient will often also get an enema in hospital. This can be given as one or more fillings of the colon through the rectal opening with expulsion at the toilet, or it can be given by repeated flushes through a tube with the patient in laying position.

Then the nurse will take measures of vitals like temperature, blood pressure and pulse rate. Especially children will often get a plaster with numbing medication at sites where intravenous lines will be inserted at a later stage.

Then the patient and also his family members will have a talk with the anesthetist that explains particularities of the coming procedure and performs a further examination to ensure that the patient is fit for surgery, like listening to the heart and lungs, palpating the stomach area, examining the throat and nose and asking about actual symptoms. The anesthetist may also ask the patient if he has certain wishes about the anesthesia and pain control.

The patient or his parents will often be asked to sign a consent for anesthesia and surgery. The legal requirements for explicit consent vary however between different societies. In some societies consent is assumed if objections are not stated at the initiative of the patient or the parents.

Technically most surgeries, except surgeries in the breast and a few others can be performed with the patient awake and only with regional or local anesthesia. Many hospitals have however a policy of using general anesthesia for most surgeries on adults and all surgeries on children. Some may have a general policy of local anesthesia for certain surgeries to keep down cost. Some will ask the patient which type of anesthesia he prefers and some will switch to another kind of anesthesia than that of the policy if the patient demands it.

When the anesthetist have signaled green light for the surgery to take place, the nurse will give the patient a premedication, typically a type of benzodiazepine like midazolam (versed). The premedication is usually administered as a fluid to drink. Children will sometimes get it as drops in the nose or as an injection through the anus.

The purpose of this medication is to make the patient calm and drowsy, to take away worries, to alleviate pain and hinder the patient from memorizing the preparations that follow. The repression of memory is seen as the most important aspect by many medical professionals, but this repression will never be totally effective so that blurred or confused memories can remain.

The patient, and especially children, will often get funny feelings by this premedication and will often say and do strange and funny things before he is so drowsy that he calms totally down. Then the patient is wheeled into a preparatory room where the induction of anesthesia takes place, or right into the operation room.


MEASURES PERFORMED RIGHT BEFORE ANESTHESIA

Before anesthesia is initiated the patient will be connected to several devices that will stay during surgery and some time after.

The patient will get a sensor at a finger tip or at a toe connected to a unit that will monitor the oxygen saturation in the blood (pulse oximeter) and a cuff around an arm or a leg to measure blood pressure. He will also get a syringe or a tube called intravenous line (IV) into a blood vessel, typically a vein in the arm. A couple of electrodes with wires are also placed at the chest or the shoulders to monitor his heart activity.

Before proceeding the anesthetist will once again check all the vitals of the patient to ensure that all parts of the body work in a way that allows the surgery to take place or to detect abnormalities that require special measures during surgery.

Right before the definite anesthesia the anesthetist may gives the patient a new dose of sedative medication, often propofol, through the IV line. This dose gives further relaxation, depresses memory, and often makes the patient totally unconscious already at this stage.


INDUCTION OF GENERAL ANESTHESIA

The anesthetist will start the general anesthesia by giving gas blended with oxygen through a mask. It can as an alternative be started with further medication through the intravenous syringe or through drippings into the rectum and then continued with gas.

Once the patient is dormant, we will always get gas blended with a high concentration of oxygen for some while to ensure a good oxygen saturation in the blood.

By many surgeries the staff wants the patient to be totally paralyzed so that he does not move any body parts. Then the anesthetist or a helper will give a dose of medication through the IV line that paralyzes all muscles in the body, including the respiration, except the heart.

Then the anesthetist will open up the mouth of the patient and insert a laryngeal tube through his mouth and past the vocal cords. There is a cuff around the end of the laryngeal tube that is inflated to keep it in place. The anesthetist will aid the insertion with a laryngoscope, an instrument with a probe that is inserted down the trout that enables him to look down into the airways and also guides the laryngeal tube during insertion.

Then the patient will be given artificial ventilation through the laryngeal tube that provides oxygen and anesthetic gas continually during the whole surgery process.

The traditional anesthetic gases were ordinary ether and chloroform. These are since long obsolete and nowadays one typically uses halogenated (mostly fluoridated) hydrocarbons and halogenated more complex ethers.


FURTHER PREPARATIONS

Then they will take all clothes off the patient so that he will be totally naked. More IV lines will now often be inserted into a vessel in the other arm, at his groin or at his thighs. A special IV line can also be screwed into the marrow in a bone at special occations. He will typically also get more electrodes to monitor the heart activity, for example at the thighs.

Often a tube called a Foley catheter is inserted through the urethral opening all the way into the bladder that then will drain the urine during surgery. At special occations a thin tube is inserted through the wall of the lower abdomen into the bladder instead, a so called supra-pubic catheter.

The patient ill often get a sensor inserted to monitor the core body temperature during surgery. The sensor can go in through the anus, or be pushed down his esophagus. Sometimes a Foley catheter with equipment for measurement of temperature is used instead.

Some surgeries require flushing or drainage of the intestines during and after surgery. Then a tube will be inserted through the anus and up into his colon for that purpose. Often also a tube is is inserted through the nose and down trough the esophagus into the stomach that will stay in place during and often after surgery. The tube is used to keep the stomach empty for secrets or for instillation of nutrients if the patient will not be able to eat for some time after surgery.

A big electrode will be placed onto the body of the patient, most often under the buttocks. This is necessary because the surgeon typically will use some kind of electric cutting tool, often called a harmonic knife, of which the cutting point will serve as the other electrode. Then the surgery site and a wide area around is painted with a solution of the yellow antiseptic agent betadine.

The nurses will lay the patient in the position necessary for surgery, which can be at back with straight kegs, at the side, at the stomach or at back with legs parted and flexed up, and many variations of these positions. The arms are often tied up above the shoulders of the patient or are held straight out from the body at special supports. Then all of the patient except the surgical site and the face is draped in blankets or other clothes.


LOCAL, REGIONAL SPINAL AND EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA

For some surgeries anesthesia comprising body parts are used instead of general anesthesia or in addition to general anesthesia to ease pain after surgery. When used as the main anesthesia, it will typically be administered early before many of the other preparations. When used as an additional aid, it will typically be administered late.

By local anesthesia an anesthetic drug is injected in the local area where the surgery takes place. It is typically used by very small surgeries.

By regional anesthesia one inserts a needle near to a nerve that serves a greater body part and injects an anesthetic so that this body part is numbed and lamed. Sometimes a thin catheter is also inserted through the needle. This will remain when the needle has been pulled out and anesthesia is then administered continually through that catheter afterwards.

Still another type of anesthesia used is so-called epidural anesthesia. By this technique the numbing medication is injected into the room where the spinal cord passes inside the vertebra, but over the dura mater and arachnoidea. These are two tissue sheets that surround the spinal cord. Also by this technique a thin catheter is often inserted through the needle that will remain when the needle has been pulled out to administer anesthesia continually.

A similar technique is spinal anesthesia. Here the medication is injected into the room between the arachnoidea and pia mater. The pia mater is the immediate dressing of the spinal cord. This anesthesia cannot be placed too high up on the back, because it can then hinder breathing and there is then also greater danger for injury to the spinal cord. It is typically used as main anesthesia at the lower part of the body.

Also when these methods are used as the main anesthetic mode, the patient will typically get some calming medication through an IV line in addition.


DURING SURGERY

Anesthesia will be furnished during the whole time of the surgery and body functions will be monitored. Neural activities may also be monitored to ensure that the anesthesia is effective. One may also perform neural tests to ensure that the surgery does not hurt nerves, which will require that the anesthesia is lessened a while.

It is a common belief based on history that the surgeon uses an ordinary knife and stops the bleeding with various kind of pinches. For parts of the work where very great precision is needed, knives are still used. To close great blood vessels, pinches are still the tool if needed. But for the most part he uses more modern cutting tools that also stop the bleeding at once.

The most common tool is a harmonic knife. This is a peak probe through which alternating current is sent into the tissue. The current warms up the tissue exactly at the point where the probe touches so that water boils in the tissue at that point, and the tissue splits apart. The alternating current also makes the blood coagulate. Another tool is a laser that warms up the tissue so that it splits apart and blood coagulates.

The surgeon can also use a coblation tool. This tool releases ions (electrically charged atoms) that have been energetically excited by an alternating voltage. The ions etch and dissolve tissue and the tool also sucks up the dissolved tissue. This kind of tool is mostly used where lumps of tissue shall be taken away, for example by tonsil surgery.

By orthopedic surgery where bone is cut, the surgeon will typically use tools like electric saws and drills and in many ways work just like a carpenter.

The traditional way of recomposing the tissue has been by needle and threads, which still may be used. But nowadays the surgeon often uses means like staples and glue also. By surgery in bone, screws are often used.

Modern surgery is often performed through tiny holes instead of large cuts. Through these holes, tubes called cannulas are placed. Through one of the cannulas a camera is inserted. Other cannulas are used to insert the tools for the work. The body cavity where the work is done is typically inflated by a gas. In the most modern settings, the whole battery of equipment is driven mechanically and is controlled from a computer unit where the surgeon sits. Such a setting is called robotic surgery.

The surgery finishes by closing of the incisions and by wound dressing. Often the surgeon will first places tubes that goes from the inside of the surgical site to the outside, and these will remain some time during healing. The catheters drain the site for blood and fluid that leak from the tissues. They can also be used for flushing of the surgical site and to instill antimicrobial drugs.


AFTER SURGERY

After surgery the anesthesia is discontinued and the patient is allowed to wake up, but artificial ventilation continues some time during this process.

At this point the Foley catheter may be taken out in some cases, in others it will stay for hours or days after surgery. Some IVs, monitoring electrodes and sensors will be taken out, but at least one IV, the pulse oximeter, the blood pressure cuff and an electrode at the upper body will be left to stay some time. Also catheters for administering of local anesthesia and drainage tubes will be left to stay.

It is customary to place back the clothes on the patient at this point, at least at the lower body, which provides that the patient often will not know that he has been totally naked.

When the patient is nearly fully awake, the ventilation is discontinued and they take out the laryngeal tube. The patient will now typically begin breathing of his own. If that does not occur effectively at once, one will ventilate him with a mask until he is better awake.

When stable, the patient will be transferred to a post-operative bed unit where he will be monitored tightly for some hours. During hours and sometimes days after surgery the patient will typically be given medication to alleviate pain and nausea and for relaxation. Pain medication will typically be achieved with opiates. For sedation and nausea treatment they mostly use diazepines like midazolam. Then he will be transferred to an ordinary hospital rooms.

It is not good for the patient to only lay still long after surgery, because that can cause complications like blood clots. Therefore one tries to make the patient rise up some times as soon as possible. To avoid complications due to slow blood circulation, patients may be equipped with cuffs around the legs that are constantly inflated and deflated in a wave-like fashion.

At some point the rest of the IVs, the electrodes and the Foley catheter will be taken out and medication discontinued.
