Sono fermato
While sleeping, a normal individual is "at rest" as far as cardiovascular workload is concerned. Breathing is regular in a healthy person during sleep, and oxygen levels and carbon dioxide levels in the bloodstream stay fairly constant ... If the pause in breathing is long enough, the percentage of oxygen in the circulation will drop to a lower than normal level (hypoxaemia) and the concentration of carbon dioxide will build to a higher than normal level (hypercapnia). In turn, these conditions of hypoxia and hypercapnia will trigger additional effects on the body. Brain cells need constant oxygen to live, and if the level of blood oxygen goes low enough for long enough, the consequences of brain damage and even death will occur. Fortunately, central sleep apnea is more often a chronic condition that causes much milder effects than sudden death.
Comment lutter contre ce risque de la respiration qui s'arrête soudain, sinon par la proximité du grand air et la fréquence des activités sportives, l'arrêt du tabac et l'alimentation légère. Mais rien n'est plus utile qu'une sexualité riche et continue.

Restless legs
Motor restlessness, expressed as activity, which relieves the urge to move. Movement usually brings immediate relief, although temporary and partial. Walking is most common; however, stretching, yoga, biking, or other physical activity may relieve the symptoms. Continuous, fast up-and-down movements of the leg, and/or rapidly moving the legs toward then away from each other, may keep sensations at bay without having to walk. Specific movements may be unique to each person; with variability over the course of the day-night cycle, with symptoms worse in the evening and early in the night. These symptoms can make sleeping difficult for many patients and a recent poll shows that presence of significant daytime difficulties resulting from this condition. jeudi 5 mai 2011
White tiredness
The location of the nine paired tender points that comprise the 1990 American College of Rheumatology criteria for fibromyalgia. Evidence from research conducted in the last three decades has revealed abnormalities within the central nervous system affecting brain regions that may be linked both to clinical symptoms and research phenomena.[8] These studies show a correlation, but not causation.[11] Some research suggests that alterations in the central nervous system might be the result of childhood stress, or prolonged or severe stress.[8]
Devant cette impuissance à soigner la quantité des points douloureux dont l'étiologie ne s'explique pas, il était désormais plus simple de regrouper ces faits et de les nomer du nom de "maladie fibromyalgique", repoussant ainsi le diagnostic d'hystérie aux seuls cas psychiatriques. Pourtant la conversion somatique d'un trouble mental ou les effets d'un traumatisme restent centrals au point qu'il est toujours délicat d'écarter la manifestation d'un trouble sévère du caractère, quel qu'en soit l'âge, et qui ne cédera pas avec le vieillissement mais peut-être davantage avec la suggestion, l'hypnose, les antidouleurs, voire les placebo.

Cerebral motor
Ses causes sont mal connues. Le tableau clinique est la conséquence de la perte de neurones du locus niger (ou « substance noire ») et d'une atteinte des faisceaux nigro-striés. La maladie débute habituellement entre 45 et 70 ans. C'est la deuxième maladie neuro-dégénérative, après la maladie d'Alzheimer. La maladie de Parkinson se distingue des syndromes parkinsoniens qui sont généralement d'origines diverses, plus sévères et répondent peu au traitement. Les symptômes moteurs n'apparaissent que lorsque 70 % des neurones de la substance noire ont été détruits[13]. Les tubercules olfactifs et le locus cœruleus sont affectés précocement, ce qui entraîne des troubles de l'olfaction et du sommeil (agitation nocturne et cauchemars) initiaux[14],[15].
Quand une personnalité encore assez jeune, découvre cette particularité de son fonctionnement somatique, il est à craindre une décompensation de son équilibre mental et pourtant celui-ci bien connu, est aussi bien traité. De grands hommes et des femmes, ont vécu longtemps avec cette maladie qui devait limiter leurs mouvements mais jamais leurs capacités cognitives, conservant toute leur intelligence. Le pape Jean-Paul II en a été un exemple récent... comme l'actrice Sylvie Joly et d'autres !

Unlucky intestine
"The lifetime risk of developing colon cancer in the United States is about 7%. Certain factors increase a person's risk of developing the disease.[5] These include: Age-The risk of developing colorectal cancer increases with age. Most cases occur in the 60s and 70s, while cases before age 50 are uncommon unless a family history of early colon cancer is present.[6]. Polyps of the colon, particularly adenomatous polyps, are a risk factor for colon cancer. The removal of colon polyps at the time of colonoscopy reduces the subsequent risk of colon cancer. Environmental factors.[16] Industrialized countries are at a relatively increased risk compared to less developed countries that traditionally had high-fiber/low-fat diets. Studies of migrant populations have revealed a role for environmental factors, particularly dietary, in the etiology of colorectal cancers. One study found that "People who drink more than 30 grams of alcohol per day (and especially those who drink more than 45 grams per day) appear to have a slightly higher risk for colorectal cancer."[28] Another found that "The consumption of one or more alcoholic beverages a day at baseline was associated with approximately a 70% greater risk of colon cancer." dimanche 1 mai 2011
Vital breathing
Smoking, particularly of cigarettes, is by far the main contributor to lung cancer.[19] Cigarette smoke contains over 60 known carcinogens [20] including radioisotopes from the radon decay sequence, nitrosamine, and benzopyrene. Additionally, nicotine appears to depress the immune response to malignant growths in exposed tissue.[21] Across the developed world, 91% of lung cancer deaths in men during the year 2000 were attributed to smoking (71% for women).[22] In the United States, smoking is estimated to account for 87% of lung cancer cases (90% in men and 85% in women).[23] Among male smokers, the lifetime risk of developing lung cancer is 17.2%; among female smokers, the risk is 11.6%. This risk is significantly lower in nonsmokers: 1.3% in men and 1.4% in women.[24]
