    What Is Sleep Paralysis?

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 2, 2017 15:18


    Sleep paralysis is a feeling of being conscious but unable to move. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep. During these transitions, you may be unable to move or speak for a few seconds up to a few minutes. Some people may also feel pressure or a sense of choking. Sleep paralysis may accompany other sleep disorders such as narcolepsy. Narcolepsy is an overpowering need to sleep caused by a problem with the brain's ability to regulate sleep.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Movement of Meditation Replacing Detention in Schools

    A piece on Upworthy.com last month featured a Baltimore school that’s replaced the classic sit-in-your-seat-and-suffer detention with a more progressive and effective form: one where kids learn to meditate. Far from the classic method of hoping that kids will spontaneously reevaluate their own behavior through punishment, teaching kids to focus on their breath and on the present moment may have a lot more value in the long run. But as one reader pointed out, teaching mediation outside of detention by infusing it into the school day as a matter of course is even better, and may help kids avoid the things that land them in detention in the first place. The research on mediation and the developing brain (i.e., kids) is not quite as robust as it is in adults, but it’s starting to take off.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The very smallest type of veins are on the surface, these veins drain into slightly larger veins, called reticular veins, which lie deeper within the skin. Faulty reticular veins often act as "feeding" veins to the smaller superficial spider veins. The most prominent reticular vein is the lateral vein of the thigh. This vein is often involved in causing spider veins of the outside thigh. Treating the smaller veins on the surface, without addressing this important vein, leads to poor treatment results.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At present, HIVST can act as a screening tool to minimize the time people need to spend at healthcare services, or be done in the privacy of one’s own home with people referring themselves to care if they test HIV-positive. The finalization of South Africa’s next National Strategic Plan for HIV, TB, and STIs (2017-2022) should set high ambitions for the introduction and availability of self-tests over the next five years.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Total hip replacements are most often done to provide relief for severe arthritic conditions. The surgery is also performed for other problems like hip fractures. Most total hip replacement patients are over 55 years of age, however the surgery is sometimes performed on younger patients.

    Dental cavities can be prevented by a low level of fluoride constantly maintained in the oral cavity. Fluoride can be obtained from fluoridated drinking water, salt, milk, mouth rinse or toothpaste, as well as from professionally-applied fluorides. Long-term exposure to an optimal level of fluoride results in fewer cavities in both children and adults. Daily oral care should include brushing and flossing to prevent problems from developing. Regular visits with the dental team are also very important as they can assist you in learning techniques to maintain good oral health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Treating epilepsy holistically

    Epilepsy is a disease that affects the brain, and has a very physical manifestation. But it is vital that doctors treat patients holistically, says specialist psychiatrist Dr Lavinia Lumu, as physical diseases often have debilitating psychological impacts. Epilepsy is a disorder of the brain that affects approximately 65 million people worldwide. It is characterised by recurrent seizures, that may involve the entire body or one part of the body, and in some instances, is accompanied by loss of consciousness. There are many different types of epilepsy, and although the disease manifests differently in different patients depending on both type and severity, there is one common thread it is classified as a chronic condition, which means that it requires on-going and consistent management, often extending over the patient’s entire lifespan.

    Functional Medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease, using a systems-oriented approach and engaging both patient and practitioner in a therapeutic partnership. It is an evolution in the practice of medicine that better addresses the healthcare needs of the 21st century. By shifting the traditional disease-centered focus of medical practice to a more patient-centered approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, Functional Medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    What is a Stroke? A stroke is a sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain. Most strokes are caused by an abrupt blockage of arteries leading to the brain (ischemic stroke). Other strokes are caused by bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts (hemorrhagic stroke). Because stroke occurs rapidly and requires immediate treatment, stroke is also called a brain attack. When the symptoms of a stroke last only a short time (less than an hour), this is called a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or mini-stroke.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Bed-wetting is also known as nighttime incontinence or nocturnal enuresis. Generally, bed-wetting before age 7 isn't a concern. At this age, your child may still be developing nighttime bladder control. If bed-wetting continues, treat the problem with patience and understanding. Bladder training, moisture alarms or medication may help reduce bed-wetting. Most kids are fully toilet trained by age 5, but there's really no target date for developing complete bladder control. Between the ages of 5 and 7, bed-wetting remains a problem for some children. After 7 years of age, a small number of children still wet the bed.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    When toddlers are learning to walk, many spend some time walking up on their tip toes, which is known as toe walking. Some toddlers are unable to walk with their whole foot, and this is something that should be checked out by a health professional. Toe walking can be classified into four groups. Some neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy cause the calf muscle to be tighter or change the way it works. This makes it hard or impossible for the child to get their heels onto the ground to walk with their whole foot.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
