Brain tumor can cause epilepsy?

Brain tumors can lead to epilepsy, and epilepsy is a common symptom of brain tumors of the brain tumor is sometimes the first or only early symptoms. Many patients with brain tumors disease early, in the event of headache, vomiting, and other symptoms of increased intracranial pressure has been there before epilepsy, brain tumors often these patients easily misdiagnosed as primary delay in the treatment of epilepsy.

Epilepsy is caused brain tumors because of the oppression or stimulate tumor, tumor tissue around the brain edema, or swelling, followed by hypoxia and ischemia, brain atrophy or final sclerosis, nerve cells surrounding the tumor in the allergic status, vulnerability to internal and external a result of the impact of sudden, short-term discharge, and cause seizures. Because epilepsy syndrome is a group, provided they have the onset of epilepsy is performance. For example, a sudden convulsion in daily life, this is not called epilepsy; if the same situation twice, with repeatability, that may be epilepsy; if the same situation three, it can be their own judge of the epilepsy.

But clearly what is the exact location of epileptic discharge caused by the most direct and reliable conventional EEG is through electrophysiological EEG monitoring can be observed that the specific circumstances of abnormal discharge. Now, with the development of imaging, MRI can be adopted to check the existence of the brain’s anatomy or developmental abnormalities, and sometimes it has also become the pathological basis of epilepsy.

Epilepsy genetic?

In recent years, a large number of genetic research shows that epilepsy is indeed a genetic diseases, including primary and secondary epilepsy. Genetic epilepsy is the main internal and embryos from the beginning prior to the onset of various aspects of the brain injury caused by epilepsy is the main external factors.

Gemini twins suffer from epilepsy research suggests that epileptic children with a genetic susceptibility, single-egg twins is double the prevalence consistency of egg twins about six times, the prevalence of consistency and the two types of attack are consistency There was a significant difference.
This shows that the different genetic traits, the prevalence of epilepsy consistency is different, and genetic This proves that the epilepsy.

The home of epilepsy patients and epidemiological analysis of the survey showed that idiopathic epilepsy relatives epilepsy prevalence of 3.8% - 10.8%, 19.8% up to the individual -35%, significantly higher than the symptoms of epilepsy 1% -4.6%, the latter than the general population and 0.3% -0.6% higher than in patients with blood ties but also with the more recent, higher prevalence rate.

Some data indicate that not less than 10 kinds of human epilepsy genes are positioning, about 150 kinds of genetic syndrome could be consolidated or myoclonic epilepsy. Part of secondary epilepsy (such as secondary to brain tumors, brain trauma) also have genetic characteristics, their relatives if tumors with epilepsy who see more, even if there is no attack, EEG can be found 3 HZ slow.

The above information indicates that, epilepsy has certain genetic tendency. But this illustrate the genetic quality of their attack low threshold, increased susceptibility to encounter some environmental factors in epilepsy easy, and the incidence is a result of joint decision from inside and outside. In real life caused by genetic factors all epileptic seizures only in a small part of (various different reports, some reports 50%, some 20%), in patients with epilepsy do not have to worry too much about the genetic problem.

A cold will lead to facial paralysis

Q: I recently facial nerve paralysis, face serious left oblique. This is the cold and the earlier, the how to treat?

Facial paralysis, commonly known as facial paralysis, usually can be divided into central and peripheral two. Central facial paralysis common in cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction or cerebral brain tumors and other serious diseases. The peripheral facial paralysis caused many reasons, including infections (such as viral influenza, etc.), by wind, and so on, because the facial nerve edema, as a result of damage to the blood vessels. Of these, 90% of the facial paralysis caused by the infection.

The main symptoms include facial paralysis for the profile asymmetry, while eyebrows around a hierarchy; crack big eyes, small eyes, mouth and other distortions. Under normal circumstances, the emergence of symptoms of facial paralysis is usually temporary, initial attack 45 days, the symptoms more serious. But as long as the right to accept treatment, most patients can resume gradually, not over-stretched. At present, the general use of anti-viral therapy, hormone therapy and nutrition neural therapy, physiotherapy, acupuncture and other methods. It should be noted, the beginning of four days not pathogenesis using acupuncture, so as to avoid further aggravating nerve injury.

We are just now in the cold of winter is the season of high facial paralysis. Young and middle-aged men facial paralysis due to the high risk group, and patients with diabetes and hypertension risk coefficient greater, so be extra attention to keeping warm, Once a facial paralysis, should promptly go to the hospital for treatment, strive for the best treatment time will be reduced to a minimum nerve injury

Brain disease could cause stomach bleeding

Zhao Granddad suffering from cerebral hemorrhage, soon after the onset, occurred acute gastrointestinal bleeding (a large number of tar-like they emit), and patients usually have no gastrointestinal diseases. The families of patients are very confused.

In fact, not only is cerebral hemorrhage, whenever brain diseases such as cerebral infarction, cerebral embolism, brain tumors, brain trauma, encephalitis, brain hypertension and brain tissue hypoxia, can cause stomach bleeding. Medical said it is a “brain stomach syndrome,” or “stress ulcer.” This is mainly cerebral diseases of the brain tissue caused by the strong stimulation. In this role can stimulate the hypothalamus, the neural and humoral way through, adrenal cortex hormones and gastric acid secretion increased substantially, eventually causing stress ulcer and acute stomach bleeding.

Preventing brain stomach syndrome often more important than treatment. Therefore, the prevention of stomach bleeding after suffering from encephalopathy measures are:

A positive treatment of the primary disease because: acute stomach bleeding occurred in encephalopathy basis, the more severe encephalopathy, the higher the incidence of stomach bleeding, it encephalopathy active treatment to reduce their condition, can avoid stomach bleeding.

Second, the application of acid, gastric acid suppression agents and the protection of: having a encephalopathy, a brain in the absence of gastric syndrome ago, should use omeprazole, ranitidine, famotidine, cimetidine , aluminum hydroxide and magnesium, as well as sucralfate, health-stomach, and gastric membrane-monkey fungus films, and so on, to prevent ulcer formation.

Third, application antiemetic Ling: antiemetic Hope is the central nervous regulator, a syndrome of cerebral stomach preventive role. Methods: 50 mg to 300 mg / day, oral or intramuscular injection. Fourth, to maintain adequate nutrition: good nutrition protein metabolism can maintain balance, reduce stress reaction in preventing the occurrence of cerebral stomach syndrome with important significance.

V. Application of Vitamin A: Vitamin A can promote regeneration and protection of gastric mucosa the role of high-dose intramuscular injection is vitamin A, contribute to the prevention of the occurrence of cerebral stomach syndrome.

6, application of pentagastrin and epidermal growth factor: of pentagastrin and epidermal growth factor has a protective effect on the gastric mucosa. Application of these two drugs, the incidence of stomach syndrome can be greatly reduced.

Cerebrovascular disease, including the diseases?

In general can be divided into three categories:

1. Hemorrhagic Cerebrovascular Disease:

(1) cerebral hemorrhage: The most common hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, mainly because of hypertension, cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral infarction, brain tumors, blood disease, arteritis, vascular malformation, or thrombolytic anticoagulant sometimes Application drugs can also cause other reasons.

(2) subarachnoid hemorrhage: multiple congenital anomalies from cerebral vascular cause.

(3) epidural and subdural hemorrhage: multi caused by trauma.

2. - Ischemic cerebrovascular disease:

(1) cerebral infarction: the most common ischemic cerebrovascular disease, caused by a variety of reasons including cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, such as lacunar infarction.

(2) transient ischemic attack (TIA, small stroke): a transient ischemic attack, within 24 hours can return fully to normal, but the author can be repeated cerebral infarction.

3. Other: cerebral arteriosclerosis, cerebral arteritis various brain artery ischemic syndrome, or intracranial venous sinus thrombosis, and so on.

Because of these cerebrovascular disease etiology, pathogenesis different. Its clinical manifestation, treatment and prognosis, and other principles are quite different.

Anorexia how do?

The so-called “appetite” is a physiological needs to eat. If this demand is low, or even disappear, that is known as loss of appetite. In short, the desire not eat things.

Well, who would easily have anorexia problem? Like office workers because of general fatigue or mental stress may lead to temporary loss of appetite, this is relatively minor phenomenon.

In addition, if the food, the drink, insufficient physical activity, chronic constipation, loss of appetite are also factors caused, but bearing in mind a number of potential crises, such as the loss of appetite for no reason at all, the continuous loss of appetite, and so on.

Loss of appetite usually people directly associated gastrointestinal problems, such as chronic gastritis, gastric slow, gastric cancer, there may arise such symptoms.

The initial symptoms of liver disease will also trigger long-term loss of appetite. In fact, liver disease caused by loss of appetite usually was extreme, when there is no serious appetite. Patients with relatives and friends as long as little attention to food patients can be seen the serious exclusion.

In addition, like kidney disease, thyroid function, such as lack of endocrine diseases, dysentery, cholera and other infectious diseases as well as heart disease, brain tumors, but also may lead to loss of appetite.

Female friends in the early stages of pregnancy, due to the side effects of oral contraceptives, may also lead to loss of appetite or vomiting.

However, some people think that the mentally ill have anorexia problem. Like depression in patients with the things around us is not interested in, unable to focus on the basic physiological needs, and to focus only on negative or distress my own views.

Anorexia may want to maintain the tall slender, do not want to eat, thus significantly reduce weight and therefore refused to eat; Schizophrenic patients may be due to wishful thinking by food poisoning, and do not want to eat, it may belong to tension-type (Catatonic) of schizophrenia, will continue to focus on maintaining a fixed or gestures of the outside world seems to be no interest in food.

So, if you found yourself or close family members have the phenomenon of loss of appetite, to be used with flavor, peppery, bitter food, to stimulate and enhance the secretion of gastric juice and promote appetite. If still unable to improve their appetite, or the best to do a check to the hospital.

The incidence of secondary hypertension What are the reasons?

Secondary hypertension due to other symptoms not obvious, easily confused with essential hypertension and delay treatment, so once found hypertension, in particular young people, children, as well as the original blood pressure normal aging, to conduct the relevant checks to determine whether a secondary hypertension. The cause of secondary hypertension main causes of the following types:

Renal hypertension secondary to hypertension is the most common: including acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis (Advanced affect renal function), renal artery stenosis, kidney stones, kidney tumors, and other.

Vascular disease: aortic stenosis, multiple arteries Company. The brain lesions increased intracranial pressure can cause secondary hypertension.

Pregnancy: pregnancy-induced hypertension may coexist with essential hypertension, identification more difficult.

Endocrine diseases: If hyperparathyroidism adrenal cortex, primary aldosteronism and pheochromocytoma, and so on.

For some secondary causes of hypertension, such as unilateral renal disease, kidney tumors, renal artery stenosis, pheochromocytoma, aortic stenosis, brain tumors and other diseases can be eliminated surgical treatment, hypertension will be followed to improve. Even if we can not carry out surgery, but also can prescribe the right medicine to get the best results.
