An infection with bacterial pathogens such as pneumonia Pneumococcus leads to an increased inflammatory reaction that spread through the body, so it can be systemically this is also the risk that a pre-existing coronary heart disease (CHD) has deteriorated considerably. Thus, and among more than 200 patients who were diagnosed with pneumonia, those with coronary previous illness a significantly higher mortality (12.6 versus 3.5, percentage) and had more treatments in the ICU (32 percent compared with 8.1), and longer breaths (27.7 vs. 3 percent) go through in comparison to control group. This emerges from a recent study.

The risk of pneumonia has harmful effects on the heart in the first 15 days of hospital admission. Nor is there evidence that all cause acute infections and not just pneumonia – changes in the vessels, eg promote the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, leading to increased vascular calcification. If these vascular changes of major problems in breathing accompanied by a lung infection that can point to an unstable angina or even cause a heart attack. Affected patients should be observed and treated specially. With specific drugs can be for example the threat, complete vessel occlusion with unstable angina pectoris prevent that is caused by the accumulation of platelets (thrombocytes) in the cracks and breaks in the Gefäßblagerungen. The aim of our efforts as physicians is to reduce the likelihood of an intensive treatment for the patient.

According to the “BBC” are estimated to in Scotland, 6.6 per cent of men and 5.6 percent of women who are older than 16 years, from angina pectoris. With the seizure-like disorder are chest pain, which is of a circulatory disorder of the heart come. Scientists have Scottish patients as part of its study five years of support. Here they noticed that men have a higher risk for serious heart disease is exposed. In addition, through the analysis again showed that smoking and obesity to the development of myocardial infarction promoted.

According to the study leader Dr. Brian Buckley, however, is still not clear why men’s greater risk than women. May provide women with the sex hormone estrogen for some protection. In general, should adhere to angina suffering people a healthier life learns to avoid the risk of further heart disease costs.

For their study analyzed the U.S. scientists from six studies in which information from the participants to their condom use and sexual behavior, and also takes account of the infection status with respect to herpes simplex-2 (HSV2) were determined. It was also asked how often the subjects protected or unprotected sexual intercourse had.

From a total of 5384 participants at the beginning of the study were healthy, stuck to 415 persons during the observation period of over 2 million days of HSV2. It was shown that a consistent use of condoms, the risk of infection by 30 percent compared with those lowered, do not use condoms. Conversely, increased with every unprotected sexual act per week, the likelihood of infection by 16 percent. The protective effect of condoms was among men and women alike.

Although the advantage of condoms is not as high as for other sexually transmitted disease, which body fluids are transferred, will remain at a consistent application of at least a portion of 30 percent protection – including the study authors stress, “says Dr. King. For an infection with Genital herpes is sexual contact with an infected partner, the biggest risk factor. About skin contacts the virus can be transmitted directly. But oral sex is a risk, because the pathogens are of herpes sores on the lips to the genitals transferred, or vice versa. ” Herpes virus infection remain after a lifetime in the body and can be several times a year painful sores form. There are ways to treat disease to be targeted, the virus completely from the body to remove is not possible.

Condoms have a certain sensitivity to heat or strong sunlight, and therefore should be kept away if possible before these environmental influences, “advises Dr. Christian Albring, president of the Professional Association of Women Doctors (BVF). Even persistent pressure load such as during storage in a wallet or pocket occurs, should be avoided, as this is the rubber “can also be porous.” Where the packaging is damaged or the expiration date has expired, a condom is useless and should not be about contraception or protection from sexually transmitted diseases may be used.

If storage instructions are observed, the length of the condom shelf fully exploited. In case of doubt, however, prefer to buy new condoms, as an old, lying around for years yet condom use, “advises the gynecologist. With the purchase of rubber” should also be the right size eighth and that the pack of a CE-Mark has . abroad – especially outside of Europe – you can find condoms are not always in the expected quality. Therefore, they need in sufficient quantity at the best with the luggage.

Condoms are a good way to protect themselves against many sexually transmitted health risks to protect. This is a correct storage and handling, however essential, therefore, necessarily before the instruction manual should be read.

Basis of the analysis was the Hessian Stroke Registry. The scientists investigated whether in the days with World Cup games above strokes often occurred. This was not the case. Quite different, however, the effects on the heart: How to study published in 2008 concluded that the risk of heart attack by watching exciting football games more than doubled. This study was presented at the 2006 World Cup.

Tobacco contains nicotine, nicotine can stimulate the mucosal, submucosal blood vessels caused by contraction and spasm, resulting in gastric mucosal ischemia, hypoxia, which plays the role of gastric mucosal damage. Nicotine also makes the pyloric sphincter relaxation, gastric motility dysfunction, so that reflux of bile and duodenal juice As a result of bile acid on the gastric mucosa in a great harm to the role, give rise to gastric erosion and bleeding. Therefore, the long-term smokers are prone to erosive gastritis, atrophic gastritis and ulcer disease.

At the same time, smoking will increase gastric motility, and promote gastric acid secretion, gastric acid content increased, the occurrence of the damage can be the role of the gastric mucosa to gastric mucosal barrier dysfunction, the occurrence of diseases such as gastritis and ulcers.

Recent study found that smoking also affects the synthesis of prostaglandins in gastric mucosa. Prostaglandins in gastric mucosa microcirculation can vasodilator to improve blood circulation in the stomach, to protect the integrity of gastric mucosa play an important role. Once the reduction of prostaglandin synthesis, gastric mucosal protective factors are also with the reduction, so it will more difficult to repair the gastric mucosa. According to the statistics show that: smoke 10 cigarettes a day people, 20% -30% may be suffering from gastritis, smoking 20 cigarettes a day a person may be suffering from gastritis 40%.

In addition to containing nicotine in tobacco and other harmful substances, but also contains a considerable amount of nitrogen oxides, such as nicotine, such as Anabasis, which contains the secondary amines, amines such as diethylamine complex. These substances can be synthesized in vivo are nitrite-based nicotine and nitroso alkali Anabasis. As we all know, is a nitrosourea carcinogenic type of material an important material for many types of cancer have a significant role in priming. In addition, smoking can reduce the body’s immune system, so smoking is the culprit in triggering a variety of cancers, such as the lung, larynx, such as prostate cancer, the incidence of gastric cancer have a more significant role in priming. Some people smoke, according to the domestic population survey found that among smokers the incidence of gastric cancer of 19.3 for the great, the crowd in the non-smokers of 4.3 for the extreme, both compared to the increase is obvious.

This shows that smoking can lead to gastritis and ulcer disease refractory to repeated, and can greatly increase the incidence of gastric cancer. You want to have a healthy stomach it? Would you please stop smoking immediately.
