லூபஸ்..LUPUS or SLE

LUPUS or SLE

In lupus, something goes wrong with the immune system, 

which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs ("foreign invaders," like the flu).

Normally our immune systems produce proteins called "antibodies" which protect the body from these invaders.

"Autoimmunity" means your immune system cannot tell the difference 

between these foreign invaders and your body’s healthy tissues ("auto" means "self"). 

As a result, it creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue.

These autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts of the body.



SYMPTOMS

Butterfly-shaped rash across cheeks and nose

Painful or swollen joints

Sun- or light-sensitivity (photosensitivity)

Fingers turning white and/or blue when cold (Raynaud’s phenomenon)

Fever

Swelling (edema) in feet, legs, hands, and/or around eyes

Pain in chest on deep breathing (pleurisy)

Headaches

Hair loss

Treatment

Treating lupus is a lifelong process. It requires ongoing planning and communication. 

Right now, there’s no cure for lupus, but there’s a lot you can do to manage 

the disease and improve your quality of life.

Cataract - Quick and Easy Reference

Aging is the most common cause.This is due to normal eye changes that happen starting around age 40.

That is when normal proteins in the lens start to break down.

This is what causes the lens to get cloudy.

People over age 60 usually start to have some clouding of their lenses.

Symptoms of Cataracts

Here are some vision changes you may notice if you have a cataract:

*Having blurry vision

*Seeing double (when you see two images instead of one)

*Being extra sensitive to light

*Having trouble seeing well at night, or needing more light when you read

*Seeing bright colors as faded or yellow instead

*It is like looking through a foggy or dusty car windshield.

Cataract Surgery

Your surgeon will enter into the eye through tiny incisions near the edge of your cornea .

The surgeon uses these incisions to reach the lens in your eye.

Using very small instruments, he or she will break up the lens with the cataract and remove it.

Then your new lens is inserted into place.

Usually your surgeon will not need to stitch the incisions closed.
