Further studies to determine the protective effect of aspirin against both squamous cell esophageal carcinoma and adenocarcinoma of the esophagus are indicated. Gallstones When cholesterol-saturated bile accumulates and becomes lodged in the cystic duct, gallstones are formed. During acute cholecystitis, usually a bacterial inflammation associated with gallstones, the production of prostaglandins are increased as part of the normal inflammation and repair processes. This process involves much pain, increased fluid secretions, muscle contraction and decreased bile, all of which perpetuate the inflammation more. Dementia is a condition reserved for brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's.
Dementia involves chronic or persistent disorder of the mental processes.
It is marked by memory disorders, changes in personality, deterioration in personal care, impaired reasoning ability and disorientation. Dementia-related Alzheimer's is associated with neurofibrillary tangles and beta amyloid plaques which researchers have found within the anatomical structure of the brain. These beta amyloid plaques that are found in the brain are very similar to the plaque of blood vessels. Similar, in that, the amyloid plaques inhibit the proper flow of nutrients to the brain and these plaques are formed in association with the inflammation and repair process. Years ago researchers noticed a link between arthritis, leprosy and the incidence of Alzheimer's.
