The skeletal system is a huge part of what makes us human; of course, we couldn't survive without it. We all know what a skeleton is, but the skeletal system is much more than just the inspiration for spooky Halloween decorations. There is a lot to learn about it, and experts discover more every day.

The birth of a child is a major life event, but unknown variables lie ahead for parents-to-be, including the baby’s gender. Knowing the gender allows parents to plan ahead. Many cultures have their own system of foretelling genders, but one of the most popular is the Chinese Gender Predictor Chart.

Pregnancy is an exciting time. It's a unique experience that varies woman to woman. Some women have a positive experience with pregnancy, while others don't. We break pregnancies down into three trimesters. 

The first trimester shows how your body is adjusting to its new state. During this trimester, women can experience mood swings, weight gain, cramps, and cravings. Some women even begin to feel morning sickness at this point. 


 


The second trimester tends to be easier than the first. Nausea and fatigue might vanish as well. During this trimester, women can experience body aches, itchy/patchy skin, and swelling.


 


The third trimester is like a runner's last lap. The baby does its last bit of growing in this stage. In this trimester women may experience labored breathing, heartburn, and contractions. Once contractions begin happening frequently, the pregnancy's end is in sight!

People with dementia sometimes experience increased symptoms around the time the sun sets. This phenomenon is referred to as sundown syndrome, thought it is unlinely it is caused by the setting sun. Sundown syndrome occurs in people with Alzheimer's but may also affect those with non-Alzheimer's dementia.

Dementia is a term used to describe many different conditions related to memory loss and cognitive skills. Brain cells become damaged and they can no longer communicate with each other, therefore the brain is not able to carry out its normal functions.

&nbsp;

The symptoms of Dementia vary greatly but in general it is the act of memory loss, difficulty in communication and language, visual perception, reasoning and judgment, and the ability to focus on a task and pay attention.

&nbsp;

A doctor will need to work hard to determine the exact type and cause of Dementia in a patient and in most cases it’s wise to see a specialist for treatments and care. There is no cure and it is a progressive disease that will get worse over time, it can, however, be monitored and the patient may find some temporary relief in treatment.

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.

Wheezing is a respiratory symptoms described as a jagged, high&#x2d;pitched whistling sound.

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.
