system: Which fats are saturated?
output: Less than 10 percent of your daily calories should come from saturated fats. In general, the harder a fat, the more saturated it is. Beef and dairy fats are mostly saturated fats. Liquid oils are usually unsaturated fats, including monounsaturated fats in olive and canola oils and polyunsaturated fats in safflower, corn, soybean, and fish oils. Coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils are exceptions to the rule; these liquid vegetable oils are highly saturated fats. Trans fatty acids raise blood cholesterol levels and increase heart disease risk even more than saturated fats.
system: What are calcium channel blockers?
output: Calcium channel blockers are typically used to treat high blood pressure or heart problems. Some have also been studied experimentally to treat mania or depression in bipolar disorder. Thus far, there is still uncertainty about whether or not they are effective for treating bipolar disorder.
system: What conditions cause symptoms like ulcerative colitis?
output: Other gut problems can give you diarrhea and crampy belly pain, like: Crohn's disease, which causes pain and swelling in other places in your gut, not just your colon Irritable bowel syndrome An infection The only way to know why you have symptoms is to see your doctor and get tested.
system: Why do I feel tired with ulcerative colitis?
output: Diarrhea and swelling in your colon make it hard for your body to absorb what it needs for energy. Bleeding in your colon leaves you with too few red blood cells, or anemia. You don't get enough sleep because you get up often at night to go to the bathroom. You're dehydrated because of diarrhea. Diarrhea, loss of appetite, and not being able to absorb calories from your food can make you lose weight.
system: How does ulcerative colitis lead to weight loss?
output: Diarrhea, loss of appetite, and not being able to absorb calories from your food can make you lose weight.
system: What is Lyrica?
output: Lyrica (pregabalin) is an FDA-approved drug treatment for fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is a chronic disorder that causes long-term, widespread muscle pain and tenderness, trouble sleeping, and overwhelming tiredness. Lyrica is not an antidepressant. Rather, it is a drug that targets nerve signals. The medicine has long been used to relieve nerve pain in patients with shingles and diabetic neuropathy. It is also used to treat partial seizures.
system: What are severe allergic reactions to Lyrica when treating fibromyalgia?
output: In rare cases, severe allergic reactions occur. Seek immediate medical help if you have: Breathing trouble Hives Swelling of the face, mouth, gums, lips, tongue, or neck Always make sure your doctor knows about all the other medications you are taking.
system: What are the most common side effects of taking Lyrica to treat fibromyalgia?
output: Side effects appear related to how much Lyrica you take. That means the higher your dose of Lyrica, the more likely you may be to have side effects.
system: How do you take Lyrica as treatment for fibromyalgia?
output: Lyrica (pregabalin) is an FDA-approved drug treatment for fibromyalgia. When used for fibromyalgia, Lyrica is a capsule that is usually taken in divided doses twice a day. Your doctor will determine the best dose for you. If you miss taking one capsule, you should take it as soon as possible -- unless it is close to the time when you are supposed to take the next one. Never take two or more at the same time.
system: Can I drink alcohol if I take Lyrica to treat fibromyalgia?
output: Lyrica is not an antidepressant. Doing so can give you a headache, upset stomach, diarrhea, and sleeping difficulties.
system: What prescription medicines may interact with Lyrica when treating fibromyalgia?
output: Some prescription medicines may interact with Lyrica and may lead to dangerous side effects. Such drugs include: Blood pressure medicines called ACE inhibitors; taking Lyrica with these medicines increases your chance for swelling and hives. Combining the two can be dangerous.

output: Children with ADHD often have trouble functioning at home and in school and can have difficulty making and keeping friends. If left untreated, ADHD may interfere with school and work, as well as with social and emotional development.
system: How common is ADHD?
output: No one knows for sure whether ADHD is more common today, but it is very clear that the number of children getting diagnosed and treated for ADHD has risen over time. Some of this increase in diagnosis and treatment is due to greater awareness of the symptoms and an expansion of what is considered ADHD. Some experts feel that ADHD is over diagnosed, while others feel it is under diagnosed or under treated.
system: Is ADHD more common in boys or girls?
output: ADHD is more common in boys, whose impulsivity and hyperactivity may appear as disruptive behavior. Inattentiveness is a hallmark of ADHD in girls, but because they aren't often disruptive in the classroom, they may be harder to diagnose.

system: What can happen if ADHD is left untreated?
output: Children with ADHD often have trouble functioning at home and in school and can have difficulty making and keeping friends. If left untreated, ADHD may interfere with school and work, as well as with social and emotional development.
system: What are the different symptoms and types of ADHD?
output: Each one is identified by the symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. When the main symptoms are inattention, distraction, and disorganization, the type is usually called primarily inattentive. The symptoms of hyperactivity and possibly impulsiveness appear to diminish with age but are seen in the primarily hyperactive/impulsive type. The third type has some symptoms from each of the other two and is called the combined type. When one person is diagnosed with ADHD, there is a 25%-35% chance that another family member will also have the condition, compared to 4%-6% of the general public.
system: Is ADHD more common in girls or boys?
output: Each one is identified by the symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention. Inattentiveness is a hallmark of ADHD in girls, but because they aren't often disruptive in the classroom, they may be harder to diagnose.
system: Should I go to work if I have a cough?
output: If you've got a tickle in the back of your throat or it feels like mucus is dripping into that area from your nose, your cough is probably from allergies or a cold. But unless you've got other symptoms like aches or fever, get dressed and go to work! If you've been sick for a few days and you now cough up darker yellow mucus, it's still probably just a cold. But if it goes on this way for more than a week, it's a good idea to see your doctor.
system: Should I go to work if I have the sniffles?
output: Take stock of your symptoms and see if they meet this commonsense standard for calling in sick: If you've the sniffles, but you're not achy or feverish and feel fine otherwise, you probably have allergies. It's OK to go to work. You can turn to several over-the-counter medicines to treat mild allergies. But keep in mind that some medications, such as diphenhydramine or chlorpheniramine, can make you sleepy. Drugs with less of this side effect include loratidine and cetirizine.
system: Can I go to work if I have a headache?
output: If you wake up with a headache, it may be a cold or flu, especially if you have other symptoms such as sneezing, stuffy nose, and body aches. You may need to stay home a day or two while you're most contagious and feel the worst. If you have a headache and can't handle noise or light, you may have a migraine and shouldn't be at work. If this is something that happens to you again and again, see a doctor. There are medications that can help.
system: Can I go to work if I have a sinus infection?
output: Or you've got a doozy of a headache. It's OK to go to work. The next day, you'll probably be able to go to work, since it usually isn't contagious. If you're very sick or your symptoms get worse after a week, call your doctor.
system: Should I go to work if I have the chills and sweats?
output: If your clothes are getting drenched, you most likely have a fever. Make sure you drink plenty of liquids. Consider seeing your doctor, especially if your temperature is over 102 degrees F. That could be a sign that you have an infection, such as the flu. For in-depth information, see Sore Throat: Cold, Strep Throat, or Tonsillitis? You may need to stay home a day or two while you're most contagious and feel the worst. Call your doctor to see if you need to get it treated with an antibiotic.
system: What should I do if antihistamines aren't helping my allergies?

system: What rheumatoid arthritis (RA) drugs protect you against diabetes?
output: They include: TNF inhibitors: These drugs block an inflammation-causing substance called TNF. TNF may play a role in the onset of diabetes. It's been shown to lower diabetes risk in people with RA by about 33%. According to research, abatacept reduces the risk of diabetes by about 50%.
system: How can I reduce my risk of getting diabetes if I have rheumatoid arthritis (RA)?
output: Keep the disease under control. If you're overweight, losing as little as 7% of your body weight reduces your risk of diabetes. Be active. Eat a healthy diet.
system: What can doctors prescribe to ease and prevent eczema flare-ups?
output: Your doctor can prescribe a steroid cream to stop the itch and clear your rash, or topical creams called calcineurin inhibitors like pimecolimus ( Elidel) or tacrolimus ( Protopic) that protect your skin and prevent eczema outbreaks. Hydrocortisone cream is available over the counter ( OTC) and eases mild itching. Eucrisa ointment is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory topical treatment that may help reduce redness and itchiness in mild to moderate atopic dermatitis.
system: How can someone with eczema prevent flares to feel better?
output: There are many things that could set off an eczema flare. You may not have the same triggers as someone else. It pays to figure out what causes your skin to react. Dry skin. If your skin gets too dry, it can become rough and itchy. It might even crack. That can let bacteria or allergens inside. Dry skin is a common eczema trigger for many people. Extreme changes in temperature can stress your skin, too. Tips: Keep your skin moist -- especially in winter, when the air can be very dry. Use a humidifier to moisten the air in your bedroom when you sleep. Apply body lotion after you get out of a shower or bath. Soak in a warm bath with small amounts of bath oil, or colloidal oatmeal added to ease eczema itching and moisten your skin.
system: What are some irritants that could trigger eczema rashes?
output: Products you use every day may bother your skin. Soap, cleansers, body wash, laundry detergent, lotions, or even some foods you touch can trigger eczema rashes. Tips: Talk to your doctor to pinpoint what may irritate your skin. She can test how your skin reacts to certain products. Keep track of anything you use that seems to trigger a flare after you touch it. Choose soaps, cleansers, or laundry detergent without added perfumes or dyes. These are common eczema triggers.
system: How do people with eczema feel after having flare-ups?
output: Keep track of anything you use that seems to trigger a flare after you touch it. Get help if you can't keep your stress under control.
system: How can stress and anxiety make eczema flare up?
output: A weak or haywire immune system can cause a flare-up. Plus itchy, sore skin can also stress you out. It can be an endless cycle if you don't break it. Tips: Find ways to relax in times of stress. Make sure you get enough sleep at night so you feel refreshed the next day. Aromatherapy, massage therapy, and soaks in a warm bath may help you ease tension. Get help if you can't keep your stress under control.
system: What should someone do if they have strong eczema itching?
output: It may go away for a while, then flare up again. Light therapy from the sun or with a UV-ray device at your doctor's office may ease outbreaks, too. For strong eczema itching that even keeps you up at night, try oral antihistamines. Diphenhydramine can stop itching and help you sleep. Fexofenadine, cetirizine, and other antihistamines can ease flares and itching but don't make you drowsy. They're all available OTC. Your doctor may also prescribe oral corticosteroids or give you a steroid shot for a strong eczema flare. If you scratch your itchy rash and break the skin, you might need antibiotics to prevent an infection.
system: What else can cause eczema?
output: Tips: Keep your skin moist -- especially in winter, when the air can be very dry. Maybe cigarette smoke or a dusty house are to blame. Tips: Keep your home or office area clean. Dust often. Don't smoke or hang out with people who do. If you think you're allergic to pet hair or dander, talk to your doctor or see an allergist, a doctor who specializes in treating allergies.
system: What types of clothing could trigger eczema?
output: If your skin gets too dry, it can become rough and itchy. Clothes that are too warm or heavy can make you sweat and cause a flare, too. Tips: Opt for soft clothes that are gentle on your skin and keep it cool. If wool or other fabrics seem to bother you, don't wear them. Find wool-free garments to keep you warm in winter. Wear loose items that don't rub against your skin.
system: Why does someone get eczema?
output: A weak or haywire immune system can cause a flare-up. Healthy, supple skin protects you. If yours gets too dry, it may not be able to block out tiny bacteria or allergens that cause eczema. Some people are more likely to get eczema than others. This includes African- Americans, people who work in health care or childcare, and those who live in cold climates or cities with lots of air pollution. Eczema is common in babies and kids. You may just call it sensitive skin. You might grow out of it or you could have it on and off for life. It pays to figure out what causes your skin to react. These are common eczema triggers.
system: How does a doctor diagnose and treat eczema?
output: Your doctor can tell if you have eczema based on your symptoms, medical and family history, and what seems to trigger your outbreaks. You may need to see a dermatologist -- a doctor who specializes in skin conditions. There's no test to prove that you have eczema. Your symptoms, age, family history, other health problems, and lifestyle help you find treatments that work. Most eczema treatments give you short-term relief. Work with your doctor to treat your eczema.
system: How is moderate to severe eczema treated?
output: Eucrisa ointment is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory topical treatment that may help reduce redness and itchiness in mild to moderate atopic dermatitis. This medicine is given every two weeks as an injection under the skin. Work with your doctor to treat your eczema. Some drugs or remedies for eczema, like steroids, can cause side effects if you use them too long or too often.
system: How can targeted therapy help with breast cancer?
output: Targeted therapy, also called biologic therapy, uses the body's immune system or hormonal system to fight breast cancer cells. That does less harm to healthy cells, so the side effects aren't usually as bad as from better-known treatments like chemotherapy. One type of targeted therapy uses antibodies to kill cancer cells or block them from growing. Antibodies are a part of the immune system made by special white blood cells. They can be made in a lab and given as medicine. Another type of this therapy uses drugs made of small molecules that block signals the cancer cells need to grow. The type of targeted therapy your doctor might recommend depends on the type of breast cancer you have.
system: When should you call your doctor if you have breast cancer?
output: New mouth sores or patches, a swollen tongue, or bleeding gums A dry, burning, scratchy, or "swollen" throat A cough that is new or persistent Feeling the need to pee more often, stronger urges than usual, a burning feeling while peeing, or blood in your urine Heartburn, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea that lasts longer than 2 or 3 days Blood in your stools Shortness of breath Swelling in feet or ankles Severe tiredness or fatigue
system: What are signal transduction inhibitors for breast cancer?
output: These antibodies block signals inside the cancer cell that help the cells divide, stopping the cancer from growing.
system: How can lapatinib (Tykerb) help with treating HER2-positive breast cancer?
output: Lapatinib ( Tykerb) is an example of a small-molecule drug that you can take in a pill. Together with chemotherapy, it treats some advanced cases of HER2-positive breast cancer. Doctors often use it when other cancer medications haven't worked for someone.
system: When should you call your doctor about side effects from breast cancer treatment?
output: Call your nurse or doctor if you have: A temperature over 100.4 F. If you have any fever and chills, tell your doctor immediately. If you can't reach your doctor, go to the emergency room. New mouth sores or patches, a swollen tongue, or bleeding gums A dry, burning, scratchy, or "swollen" throat A cough that is new or persistent Feeling the need to pee more often, stronger urges than usual, a burning feeling while peeing, or blood in your urine Heartburn, nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea that lasts longer than 2 or 3 days Blood in your stools Shortness of breath Swelling in feet or ankles Severe tiredness or fatigue
system: What is HER2-negative breast cancer?
output: A gene called HER2 makes too many copies of itself in about 20% of people with breast cancer. If you have that faulty version of the gene, your disease is called " HER2-positive." You'll need different treatments.
system: What medications can help treat HER2 positive breast cancer?
output: A gene called HER2 makes too many copies of itself in about 20% of people with breast cancer. Trastuzumab ( Herceptin) is the standard treatment for this type of breast cancer. Trastuzumab treats this type of breast cancer either alone or alone with chemotherapy drugs. Pertuzumab ( Perjeta) is another antibody that treats HER2-positive breast cancer. Pertuzumab may be harmful to a fetus, so women who are pregnant shouldn't take it. Another medication, ado-trastuzumab emtansine ( Kadcyla), combines the antibody in trastuzumab with a chemotherapy drug. Doctors give it to people with HER2-positive, advanced breast cancer who were already treated with trastuzumab. Lapatinib ( Tykerb) is an example of a small-molecule drug that you can take in a pill. Together with chemotherapy, it treats some advanced cases of HER2-positive breast cancer.
system: What is alpha lipoic acid (ALA)?
output: ALA is an antioxidant. Antioxidants protect against damage to the body's cells. There are food sources of ALA such as yeast, organ meats like liver and heart, spinach, broccoli, and potatoes. However, ALA from food does not appear to produce a noticeable increase in the level of free ALA in the body. Some people take ALA supplements with the intent to improve a variety of health conditions. Scientific evidence for the health benefit of supplemental ALA has been inconclusive. Studies show that about 30% to 40% of the oral dose of an ALA supplement is absorbed. ALA may be better absorbed if it is taken on an empty stomach.
system: What other conditions can alpha lipoic acid (ALA) help with?
output: ALA has been suggested as a potential aid in stopping or slowing the damage done by a variety of other health conditions from HIV to liver disease. However, much of the research is still early and evidence isn't conclusive. There has also been recent interest in supplemental ALA for weight loss. But again, there is no evidence that ALA has any effect on weight loss in humans, and more research needs to be done.
system: What should you know about alpha lipoic acid (ALA)?
output: !s_sensitive, chron ID: $('article embeded_module[type=video][align=top]:eq(0)').attr('chronic_id'), continuous Play: true, cp Options: { flyout: true }, display Ads: true, mode: 'in-article', sticky: true }) }); }); } else { $(function(){ $('.responsive-video-container').remove(); }); } Alpha-lipoic acid or ALA is a naturally occurring compound that's made in the body. It serves vital functions at the cellular level, such as energy production. As long as you're healthy, the body can produce all the ALA it needs for these purposes. Despite that fact, there has been a lot of recent interest in using ALA supplements. Advocates of ALA make claims that range from beneficial effects for treating conditions such as diabetes and HIV to enhancing weight loss. Research on the effects of ALA supplementation is sparse. What there is, though, does suggest some possible benefits.
system: What are the side effects and precautions for alpha lipoic acid (ALA)?
output: Advocates of ALA make claims that range from beneficial effects for treating conditions such as diabetes and HIV to enhancing weight loss. However, little is known about the possible effect of long-term use of ALA supplements. And there are no dosage recommendations and little data on the potential effect of large doses taken over time. ALA should not be used without a recommendation from your doctor if you take insulin or other medications to lower blood sugar. It's possible that it can enhance the effect of these drugs, leading to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Discuss the use of supplemental ALA with your doctor first. Your doctor may recommend that you increase monitoring of blood sugar levels. The doctor may also want to make an adjustment in your medication. Because no studies have been done on the effect of using ALA during pregnancy, you should not use it if pregnant. Also, there are no data about its use by children, so children should not take ALA supplements.
system: What can I do to have a strong immune system?
output: The classic things that keep your heart, brain, bones, and the rest of you well are also good for your immune system: Eat nutritious foods. Stay active. Work to keep your weight healthy. Don't smoke. If you drink alcohol, keep it moderate (no more than one drink a day if you're a woman, and two drinks daily if you're a man).
system: What does your immune system do?
output: Your immune system works to root out germs and other invaders that have no business in your body. For example, if you inhale a cold virus through your nose, your immune system targets that virus and either stops it in its tracks or primes you to recover. It takes time to get over an infection, and sometimes you need medicine to help, but the process is the cornerstone of prevention and recovery.
system: What does my immune system consist of?
output: Other than your nervous system, your immune system is the most complex system in your body. It's made up of tissues, cells, and organs, including: Your tonsils Your digestive system Your bone marrow Your skin Your lymph nodes Your spleen Thin skin on the inside of your nose, throat, and genitals All of these help create or store cells that work around the clock to keep your whole body healthy.
