Question by Telix5000: What is the maximum number number of diseases a person can carry at one time?
I tend to read a lot about people having 3-5 different diseases and dying, but what is the record for the person carrying the most diseases at one given time?
I didn’t see a Guiness World Record for it either. Might be an interesting addition, though.

Infertilidade e Homeopatia – O Tratamento Homeopatico
“Infertilidade é a incapacidade de um casal alcançar a concepção ou levar uma concepção a termo, após um ano ou mais de relações sexuais regulares, sem protecção contraceptiva”.
É assim que a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS) define infertilidade. Isto não significa que a concepção não possa acontecer naturalmente ou recorrendo a ajuda. É muito raro aparecer uma situação de esterilidade total, o mais vulgar é encontrarmos casais com dificuldade de concepção, que pode ser de um ou de ambos os parceiros.
Consideram-se dois tipos de infertilidade:
Infertilidade Primária – é a incapacidade fisiológica de um casal ter filhos. De ter uma primeira gravidez. Infertilidade secundária – considera-se quando um casal já concebeu e tiveram um aborto ou já têm um primeiro filho, mas apresentam muita dificuldade em conseguirem uma segunda gravidez.
A infertilidade é um problema comum de homens e mulheres que pode ter origem estrutural interna ou pode ser o resultado de desequilíbrios emocionais, inconscientes do ser humano. A fertilidade do casal pode ser afectada também factores externos, como a alimentação, o estado de saúde geral, o ambiente de poluição em que vivem, a vida agitada que o quotidiano actual proporciona, são alguns entre muitos outros factores dos que podia aqui enumerar. As infecções sexualmente transmissíveis, como sífilis, a gonorreia ou a clamídia, caso não sejam tratadas a tempo, são outro factor que também pode estar na origem da infertilidade. Há situações mais complicadas, como as intervenções cirúrgicas em que há extracção dos ovários (ovarioctomia) ou do útero (histerectomia) da mulher, ou no caso do homem, de ambos os testículos, que como é óbvio, contribuem para a infertilidade com causa estrutural. A infertilidade é um dos problemas de saúde do homem onde a Homeopatia responde com elevada taxa de sucesso, quer o problema seja de um ou de ambos os membros do casal. A abordagem homeopática da infertilidade, é igual para qualquer outra doença, ou desequilíbrio da saúde. Em Homeopatia não temos remédios para esta ou aquela patologia, temos sim remédios para este ou aquele indivíduo. O remédio homeopático actua promovendo o equilíbrio global (mental, emocional e físico) de cada pessoa, para que todos os seus órgãos e funções possam trabalhar em harmonia. A abordagem global, holística, de cada pessoa individualmente, permite que o homeopata obtenha as informações necessárias para prescrever o remédio mais semelhante (o similibus). É esse remédio, o similibus, que vai ajudar o organismo a recuperar o equilíbrio e deixar que todos os órgãos e glândulas desempenhem, em pleno, as funções que lhes competem.

Question by Ronald: Scientists develop antibiotics to fight bacterial diseases. Which one correctly summarizes how antibiotic work?

D. They all prevent bacteria from absorbing food.

Answer by michaell
An antibiotic is a selective poison. It has been chosen so that it will kill the desired bacteria, but not the cells in your body. Each different type of antibiotic affects different bacteria in different ways. For example, an antibiotic might inhibit a bacterium’s ability to turn glucose into energy, or its ability to construct its cell wall. When this happens, the bacterium dies instead of reproducing. At the same time, the antibiotic acts only on the bacterium’s cell-wall-building mechanism, not on a normal cell’s.

Understanding The Basics Of Genital Wart Removal
More than the genital wart infection, it is the trauma of having genital warts that perturbs the infected person. Genital warts can cause a lot of problems in your personal life and throw you off track in your professional life. Genital warts is a viral disease and the when a person gets infected, he or she will not even get to know it, because the virus remains dormant for few months and then emerges out in the form of genital warts.
Genital warts often give the appearance of pimples. The genital warts may emerge from skin singly or in clusters. Most genital warts are treated by doctors who specialize in skin disorders. Some people who feel embarrassed to show the genital warts to the doctors prefer to do the treatment on their own. When people decide to do the genital warts treatment on their own, they have two main options, first, they can either take over-the-counter medications or second, they can do home remedies.
Doctors will first try out the medications such as genital wart creams for the genital wart removal. If the genital wart medications fail, then the doctors go in for the physical methods for genital wart removal. In one such physical method, the doctor uses liquid nitrogen. The liquid nitrogen freezes the genital warts, which can be later removed easily. Other surgical methods include surgical incision, laser surgery, and Electrocautery.
Most of the above mentioned methods are very safe and do not have major side effects. However, if you are infected with the genital warts, then you need to keep in mind that there will be reoccurrences of the genital warts because the viral infection cannot be cured. So, after a few months or years, if the genital warts reemerge, you will have to repeat the entire genital warts treatment. This may be very disturbing, but this is the fact and you need to be prepared to face it with a pinch of salt.
During the genital warts treatment, there are many precautions that you may have to take. Most doctors who are treating you for the genital warts will tell you all the precautions that need to be taken. If you are going in for a surgery, then you must know about all the pros and cons of the surgery along with the side effects. Some surgeries can be painful, so doctors may give you a local anesthetic so that you don’t feel the pain. However, after the surgery, you may experience some pain. Generally, the post-surgery pain is treated with pain killers.
Genital warts occur in places such as:
Vagina
Vulva
Penis
Cervix
Urethra
Anus
Scrotum
Genital warts may be confused with other natural anatomical structures such as pearly papules, Sebaceous glands on the labia, and vestibular papillae. Generally, no medication is needed for these naturally occurring anatomical structures. Sometimes, when you apply over-the-counter genital warts medications on these natural anatomical structures, you will find that they remain unaffected and will continue to stay on.
The transmission of genital warts is one very important aspect of the genital warts treatment. If you have genital warts, then it is very important that you do not transmit the disease to any other healthy person. One most common way of transmission of this disease is by sexual contact or sexual intercourse. During sexual intercourse, when the genital warts of the infected person come in contact with the healthy person, the healthy person gets infected.
When the healthy person comes in contact with the genital warts, the infection spreads to the healthy person and the healthy person may not even know about it, because the virus spreads within the body and remains dormant for few months or years. Suddenly, one fine day, the healthy person will feel small bumps and that marks the beginning of the genital warts infection.
According to some research, it is found out that there are possibilities of the genital wart virus spreading from the pregnant mother to the unborn child. This is often referred to as vertical transmission. In cases of vertical transmission, nothing can be actually done to prevent the transmission of the virus. Medical science is in constant search of a drug to destroy the genital wart virus. We might have to wait and watch for a while before we get the complete cure for this infection.
