Do not ignore these signs of pain

Pain is the sensation by which your body is communicating to you that something you did or are doing has is making your body uncomfortable. Although pain can be a result of a light blow, injury, or a condition like a light fever and even overexertion, you should not underestimate it. Additionally, ignoring pain signals that your body experiences suddenly without any known reason should be completely avoided for continuing activity can worsen the situation further. It is therefore always best to stay aware of the ques your body is trying to communicate to you to keep away from uncomfortable and potentially disabling complications. Here a few types of pains you should never ignore.

A quick and sudden headache:If you are suddenly experiencing unbearable pain in your head do not ignore it for it can be a brain aneurysm, which is a bulge in the wall of an artery. If left untreated it could even burst leading to a potentially fatal stroke or massive brain bleed.

Dull pain in your middle back:If you experience dull pain in your middle back and progresses to simply become worse. It accompanies fever and nausea then there is a possibility you have a kidney infection. Seek medical help immediately without giving a second thought. The infection can permanently damage your kidneys, blood poisoning or a complete kidney failure.

Sudden pain in your hand, wrist and forearm:If you are experiencing sudden pain and numbness in your fingers (specifically index finger, thumb, and middle finger), palm and wrist that is spreading to your forearm, it is a possibility you have a carpal tunnel syndrome. If left untreated, the hand muscles may shrink, and you may even lose function of your hands.

Constant pins and needles in your feet:If you find your feet going numb, burning or tingly, it could be that you are experiencing nerve damage caused by diabetes. It is a possibility that you may even lose all sensation in your foot. Get a blood glucose test done. If the damage is more your affected leg may require amputation.

11 Cancer Symptoms You Are Likely To Ignore

I'm a thyroid cancer survivor. I can surely say that being positive helps a lot in overcoming the cancer. It is curable. Don't think of stages, soon after my diagnosis, I used to chat with people across the globe, who said that though they're given few months to live, have survived for more than a decade. That is because of their positive attitude. Learn from people how they've overcome, in case, any survivor wishes to chat with me, or free to do so. I can assure you, that your attitude, belief in God and self, will surely overcome any disease. Right now, I'm busy studying, teaching, doing breast prosthetic with crochet !

Cancer is one of the most deadliest and scariest diseases. Diagnosis is always a huge shock.
Yet, many cancers are highly curable when caught early. That’s why it’s very important to be on constant alert for cancer symptoms.

 Here are the 11 cancer symptoms you should NOT ignore.
Pay special attention to the last one, since it can easily be misinterpreted.

1. Persistent fatigue

Persistent fatigue can be an important symptom of leukemia and colon or stomach cancers. It may manifest itself differently from everyday fatigue.
Cancer-related fatigue often doesn’t go away after a good sleep and lasts longer. Sometimes it is caused by blood loss that’s not obvious.

2. Unexplained weight loss

Most people with cancer are likely to lose weight at some point. If you don’t recall any specific reason, like exercising more, or changing diet, a rapid unexplained weight loss can be a dangerous sign.
An unexpected weight loss of 10 pounds or more may be one of the first signs of cancer and can be used to catch it early.

3. Unexplained thickening or lump

Examine your body regularly. A lump, or thickening may be an early or late sign of cancer and should immediately be reported to a doctor.
Pay extra attention to new lumps or thickening or those that are changing in size. Don’t stress over it too early though. Many of those changes in your body can be completely benign.

4. Constant pain

Although pain can be a symptom of a huge variety of diseases, it can also indicate cancer. If the pain is unexplained and doesn’t go away or get better with treatment, it’s a warning sign.
Depending on where the pain is localized, it can be a symptom of a brain tumor, cancer of colon, rectum or ovary.

5. Frequent fever

Almost all people with cancer are likely to have fever at some stage, especially if cancer affects the immune system.
Although fever is more common at late stages, it can also be an early sign of blood cancers, such as leukemia or lymphoma. In any case, if you often experience fever, especially you cannot understand a reason, best to seek medical attention

6. Skin changes

Skin cancer is considered to be the most common type of cancer and sometimes it can be difficult to recognize it in the early stages.
Anytime you have a freckle, wart, or mole that changes color, size, or shape, or if it loses its sharp border, then you should have it checked out for melanoma or some of the other types of skin cancer. However, besides skin cancers, other cancers can also cause skin changes. Pay attention to signs and symptoms which include: darker, yellowish or reddened skin, itching, bleeding, etc.

7. Change in bowel or bladder habits

If you experience long-term constipation, diarrhea or a change in the size of the stool, it may be a good idea to visit a doctor.
These are signs of colon cancer. Symptoms of bladder or prostate cancer include pain when passing urine, blood in the urine or a change in bladder function. Report these types of unusual signs to a doctor, however, keep in mind these could also be a signal of a urinary tract infection.

8. Nagging cough or hoarseness

A cough every once in a while isn’t usually anything to worry about. However, a persistent cough that doesn’t go away is a cause for concern.
Most coughs aren’t cancer, but it should still be evaluated by your doctor. Pay extra attention if cough causes pain in your chest, shoulder or back area.

9. Unusual Bleeding

Unusual bleeding is always something worth investigating, even if it’s not a sign of a cancer. However it can also happen in early or advanced cancer.
Coughing up blood, blood in the stool or urine, abnormal vaginal bleeding are all dangerous signs.

10. Indigestion or trouble swallowing

Indigestion issues that don’t go away could be symptoms of cancer. Potential causes are cancers of esophagus, stomach, or throat.
However, in vast majority of cases, indigestion or swallowing problems indicate something other than cancer.

11. Other Symptoms

These signs and symptoms we just reviewed are the more common ones, appearing in cancer patients. However, there’s a huge variety of other possible symptoms.
Swollen feet, for example, are not necessarily a symptom of cancer, but rather side effects from cancer treatments, but if you are experiencing unexplained swollen feet, best to consult with your doctor.
Overall, if you notice any major changes in how your body looks and feels, especially if the condition doesn’t go away for a long time – talk to your doctor.
Again, spotting cancer early can significantly increase your chances.

New Method to Help Predict Mortality in Elderly

Researchers have developed a method to assess the 'age' of patients' immune systems, thus predicting mortality in older adults. According to researchers, the immune age is a kind of biological clock that will help identify an early weakening of the immune system.
The new model will help devise preventive measures to reduce disease and mortality, Xinhua news agency reported. In the study, Technion scientists, along with a team from the Stanford University in California, were able to quantify the changes in the immune system that happen over the years.

 In nine years, they characterised the immune systems of 135 healthy people of different ages once a year and built a model that quantifies these changes in a specific person. The data enabled the researchers to quantify the immune age in an index called 'IMM-AGE score', which provides information that the chronological age cannot tell.

Using the new method, the team quantified the immunisation age of more than 2,000 elders. The researchers believe that with the new method, they will also be able to characterise genes that affect immunisation age, and even identify lifestyle, habits and medications that affect the 'age'.

With an increase in inflammatory processes, the human body undergoes slow and constant functional weakening of the immune system. Ageing of the immune system has devastating consequences, including an inability to cope with infections and an increased risk of chronic diseases such as cancer.

The quantification of the immune system's ageing is a complex challenge that requires multidimensional monitoring over time.
