Exercise controlled hygienic-dietary measures prevent lymphedema following breast removal, as stated by the president of the Spanish Society of Rehabilitation and Physical Medicine, Inmaculada García Montes, in the context of the Seventeenth National Congress of the Spanish Chapter Phlebology.
Garcia Montes said “it is an accumulation of protein-rich fluid called lymph in the interstitial space from overload or damage the drainage system and is characterized by chronic and progressive edema of the affected limb, and its most common form of appearance is associated with neoplastic disease and causes major disruption resulting aesthetic and functional problems of pain.
This expert said that although there is no cure, it may prevent the onset of secondary lymphedema and can be treated when it is already well established to reduce disability and occurrence of complications and keep it stable over time.

To understand the pathophysiology of constipation and can implement a rational treatment, we must first understand the normal process of digestion of food, how they form the stool and what are the factors that regulate their expulsion.
What is Digestion?
Digestion is defined as a set of mechanical processes (chewing, mixing of food and intestinal motility or peristalsis), chemical (enzymatic hydrolysis) and physical (emulsification of fats by bile salts), by which substances are extracted nutritious food and degrade to smaller particles, can be absorbed easily.
At the mouth, ingested food is crushed and mixed with saliva, then passed to the stomach, where it acquired a consistency softer by the joint action of mechanical contractions of the body and gastric juice. In the stomach, proteins are extracted from food and undergo partial hydrolysis.

February is National Children’s Dental Health and the American Association of Periodontology month start educating children and parents about the number one concern of the Surgeon General: preventing dental diseases - including periodontal disease in children.
Many people think that periodontal disease is an adult problem. However, studies indicate that gingivitis (the first stage of periodontal disease) is nearly universal in children and adolescents. Advanced forms of periodontal disease are rarer in children than in adults, but can occur.
To ensure healthy teeth as an adult, you must establish good oral habits as a child. Parents can encourage good oral health habits at home. For example, parents may reward children with visits from the tooth fairy or the Tooth Fairy not only when they drop a tooth, but when the child passes the dental examination.
Types of periodontal diseases in children
Chronic gingivitis is common in children. It usually causes the gums to swell, turn red and bleed easily. Gingivitis can be prevented and treated well by following a regular routine of brushing, flossing and professional dental care. However, if it is not treated, can progress over time towards a more serious forms of periodontal disease.

The anxieties, difficulty concentrating, overreacting to minor problems, easy irritability, forgetfulness and mood swings are typical psychological problems. Studies indicate that many cases of depression relate more to the circumstances of menopause it self. Other events, such as care for elderly relatives, retirement, divorce or widowhood, children growing and leaving the house occur around the time of menopause. Also, some problems may be caused indirectly due to the disruption of sleep. To address emotional symptoms you should exercise regularly. This will help maintain your hormonal balance and preserving bone strength. Talking with other women, who are going through menopause, can help with emotional symptoms. Women approaching menopause often complain of memory loss and inability to concentrate.

Menopause is the period that ends a woman’s reproductive phase. Menopause begins at the end of menstruation. Over time, the ovaries gradually lose the ability to produce estrogen and progesterone, hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle. As estrogen production decreases, ovulation and menstruation occur very often, and eventually stop. Menstruation can be stopped early due to illness or a hysterectomy. In these cases we speak of induced menopause. In Europe and North America, menopause usually happens when a woman is around 51-52 years old. Menopause can happen but sometimes as early as 40. The age and menopausal symptoms also have a strong genetic influence. As a rule of thumb, women who began menstruation early is more likely to experience menopause earlier.

Following a diet free of gluten (wheat flour) in two weeks there is an improvement of symptoms in most cases. If no improvement may be that the diet is not suitable or because complications occur lymphoma. In asymptomatic individuals the diet is made also because the disease tends to worsen if nothing is done and because the incidence of lymphomas and adenocarcinomas increases seem to match these tumors increased with the degree of intestinal inflammation. Therefore it is not clear that individuals with positive serology but no intestinal inflammation should take this diet.
Parallel to diarrhea diseases chronic intolerance to gluten. Not always associated with the intestinal disorder.
- Hyperkinetic Syndrome
- Epilepsies
- Disturbances of attention
- Intestinal lymphoma
- Intestinal Adenocarcinomas
- Dermatitis herpetiformis

Diagnosis is made by measuring specific antibodies in the blood, a biopsy of the intestine and symptoms. Duodenal biopsy is often, but will be more sensitive to the jejunum.
Are three different models that vary according to clinical presentation:
Villous epithelial infiltration with lymphocytes, with normal villi and crypts. This model was found in 40% of individuals with Dermatitis Herpetiformis and a small portion of patients with bowel involvement and affected relatives are asymptomatic. Elongation of the crypts and flattening and inflammatory cells in the lamina propria. This model is classically in individuals with celiac disease with intestinal symptoms in asymptomatic affected relatives, and individuals with dermatitis herpetiformis. In most of these individuals, treatment with a gluten-free diet results in improvement of the villi and crypts architecture that becomes normal or nearly normal.
Complete flattening of the mucosa with absence of villi and crypts very small. It is found in more severely affected patients. It is often refractory to gluten-free diet, and the injury is not reversible. Are patients requiring intravenous nutrition supplements. Property and repeated biopsy to avoid false positives of intestinal infections, with lesions caused by lactose. We must also bear in mind that patients in remission or with intermittent symptoms may have normal biopsy and the results of the analysis but remain very sensitive to any prolamin.

Mechanisms involved in gluten intolerance:
- Lack of digestive enzymes (intestinal glutaminase)
- Production of anti-prolamin antibodies, or fragments of it.
- Increased intestinal permeability to macromolecules and protein antigens.
- Increased production of mediators (histamine, serotonin, kinins, prostaglandins, and interleukins).
- The first-degree relatives have a predisposition to be found on chromosome 6 and is the most common marker associated with HLA DQw2.

The first attempt of classification of vasculitis returns to Zeek who in 1952 proposed to identify multiple entities according to their clinical and pathological (102): hypersensitivity vasculitis, allergic granulomatous vasculitis Churg-Strauss (SCS), the classic PAN and Horton’s disease. Since this classification has been refined by others but the main framework set forth therein remain valid. Fauci described then a “group of polyarteritis nodosa” including the PAN, the SCS and forms overlap (103). This classification had the advantage of being pragmatic and useful for the clinician but further work has to distinguish the microscopic polyangéite (MPA) as a distinct systemic vasculitis of PAN (299,95,104). This recognition has not been taken into account in the classification established in 1990 by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) (105) (Table 1). Indeed, the PAN and MPA have long been not distinguished because of their resemblance clinical (general manifestations, neurological, gastro-intestinal .).
Nevertheless, these two diseases are distinct. According to the nomenclature proposed at Chapel Hill, PAN preferentially affects the vessels of medium caliber and MPA the small vessels, ie arterioles, capillaries and venules (104). Glomerulonephritis and pulmonary capillaritis observed in the MPA, while the PAN, renal disease is vascular and lung is spared. It is so easy to differentiate the NAP of the MPA in patients with vasculitis with severe renal impairment and / or lung. For cons, the majority of patients, particularly those with vasculitis respects the kidney and lung, the distinction is sometimes impossible even applying the Chapel Hill nomenclature or classification criteria of the ACR PAN (106). Furthermore, impairment of small vessels is possible during the NAP (107) and conversely a violation of vessels of medium size is possible during the MPA (105).
