A ventilator is a life support treatment that helps the lungs function when they cannot work on their own. The technology allows medical teams to perform surgeries and prolong life for individuals recovering from serious illness and injury.

Breathing is something most of us take for granted. However, if you have difficulties breathing or suffer from certain diseases, you can benefit from respiratory therapy. It usually includes diagnostic procedures, critical care procedures (for example, asthma management and ventilation management), and therapeutic procedures.

Bacterial infections are the most common cause of respiratory problems. Smokers and people with chronic lung illnesses are at higher risk of developing a disease. Most often, antibiotics can effectively treat infections.

Your doctor can also prescribe specific therapeutic devices for your respiratory condition, for example, humidifiers, ventilators, suction equipment, and oximeters. These are necessary for people who have difficulty breathing on their own.

If you are on home oxygen therapy, special equipment can tell whether your oxygen saturation is adequate. You should also use special devices to monitor and record your condition regularly. Your doctor will be able to adjust your treatment plan based on this data.

Ailments

An "ailment" is a general term for minor to moderate physical illnesses, diseases, and disorders. In Facty Health, many different diagnoses fall under the ailment category. For example, acid reflux, eye disorders, skin problems, and GI problems, are considered an ailment.

In this category, you can discover natural home remedies for common symptoms. You will find that there is probably a miracle ingredient hiding in your pantry right now. Learn what foods to stay away from and which foods can help ease certain conditions. You can even learn to spot the early warning signs of some of the more severe diseases. Expect to find detailed and interesting information about the types of ailments, their symptoms, causes, and treatments.

If you have questions about a specific ailment or you just have a general curiosity for medicine, this would be a good place to start.

What's a Ventilator and What Does It Do?

There are more than 80 autoimmune diseases. They are difficult to diagnose, and most people with these incurable conditions need lifelong treatment.

The immune system protects the body against infection. However, it's more like a little army than a giant shield. Germs, bacteria, and viruses primarily enter the body through contact with infected surfaces or through the air. The microscopic army fights off the invaders and remembers their weaknesses for next time. The next time your body encounters a similar infection, your immune system is better equipt to fight it. This process also happens on a smaller scale when you get flu shots and vaccines.

An important part of this system is white blood cells, which seek and destroy germs as soon as they enter the body. Doctors can test the levels of white blood cells in your body to see if you have the flu or a similar infection. If you have a high level of white blood cells you are probably fighting off an infection. You can boost your immune system by maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

Conditions

"Condition" is a general term for particular abnormal diseases that negatively affect a part or all of the body. Conditions are not due to any external injury. Therefore, a broken bone does not classify as a condition, whereas Herpes, OCD, Shingles, and Ulcers do.

Medical conditions are classified by specific symptoms and signs. While each person's experiences can vary, there are consistent signs and symptoms that doctors will look for when diagnosing their patients. We always recommend that people seek a professional diagnosis. Afterward, supplement medical advice and opinion with accurate and easy to read information.

Most people only spend an average of a couple minutes with their doctor during a checkup. Oftentimes patients don't receive the fullest explanation of their diagnosis. Easily search through the vast amount of articles that Facty Health offers for ones that address your specific needs. From there, allow us to help you with those unanswered questions.

Immune System

Autoimmune Diseases and How They Affect the Body

Mouth wellness may play a more significant role in systemic and inflammatory diseases than we think. Using a tongue scraper along with brushing can provide an array of benefits.

Wellness is associated with your lifestyle. Wellness depends on many factors, such as proper weight control, good nutrition, avoiding risk factors such as alcohol abuse and smoking and exercise. People who manage their lifestyle are more productive, healthier and have fewer workplace absences.

Since lifestyle is the leading factor determining your general health, it is important to set healthy goals and have control over your life. The choices you make have a huge influence on your wellness; therefore consistent self-care is vital. While medicine can cure the disease, the wellness lifestyle encourages you to take responsibility for your life.

Wellness is not an absence of diseases. It is an approach developed to achieve the balance between social and emotional functioning. Wellness is a process through which you start making choices towards a healthier lifestyle.

Wellness is a positive approach to life, which emphasizes the importance of the mind and spirit. A wellness-oriented lifestyle means that everything you feel, say and do has an impact on your health.

A sore tongue is uncomfortable and hard to ignore. A wide range of factors can cause this pain, many of them benign and temporary.
