Signs Symptoms

The most common symptom of scabies is severe itching, which may be worse at night or after a hot bath. A scabies infection begins as small, itchy bumps, blisters, or pus-filled bumps that break when you scratch them. Itchy skin may become thick, scaly, scabbed, and crisscrossed with scratch marks. The areas of the body most commonly affected by scabies are the hands and feet (especially the webs of skin between the fingers and toes), the inner part of the wrists, and the folds under the arms. It may also affect other areas of the body, particularly the elbows and the areas around the breasts, genitals, navel, and buttocks. If a child with scabies scratches the itchy areas of skin, it increases the chance that the injured skin will also be infected by bacteria. Impetigo, a bacterial skin infection, may occur in skin that is already infected with scabies.

Haematemesis is vomiting blood and melena is black faeces, like tar caused by the presence of upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. Haematemesis color depending on the length of contact between the blood with gastric acid and the size of the bleeding, which can be colored like coffee or reddish and lumpy. Haematemesis usually occurs when there is bleeding in the area proximal jejunun and melena may occur alone or together with haematemesis. At least 50-100 ml of bleeding, melena circumstances are found. The amount of blood that came out during haematemesis or melena difficult to use as a benchmark to estimate the size of the upper gastrointestinal tract bleeding. Haematemesis and melena is a state of emergency and need immediate treatment in hospital. http://ncp-blog.blogspot.com Hematemesis Melena Symptoms Signs and symptoms that can be found in patients with hematemesis melena is a shock (heart rate, body temperature), chronic liver disease (cirrhosis hepatis)...

Read More Pathophysiology of Anemia Anemic may be defined as any condition resulting from a significant decrease in the total body erythrocyte mass.

Anemia is a symptom of underlying conditions, such as loss of blood components, elements do not adequately or lack of nutrients needed for the formation of red blood cells, resulting in decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of blood. Anemia is a term that indicates a low red blood cell count and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels below normal. Anemia is reduced to below the normal value of red blood cells, hemoglobin quality and volume of packed red bloods cells (hematocrit) per 100 ml of blood (Price, 2006: 256). Thus, anemia is not a diagnosis or disease, but is a reflection of state of a disease or disorder of the body functions and changes the fundamental patotisiologis anemnesis described through a thorough, physical examination and laboratory information.

Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Congestive heart failure, or heart failure, is a condition in which the heart is unable to adequately pump blood throughout the body and/or unable to prevent blood from "backing up" into the lungs. In most cases, heart failure is a process that occurs over time, when an underlying condition damages the heart or makes it work too hard, weakening the organ. Heart failure is characterized by shortness of breath (dyspnea) and abnormal fluid retention, which usually results in swelling (edema) in the feet and legs. Symptoms of heart failure vary and include the following: Fatigue Increased heart rate, palpitations Loss of appetite Memory loss, confusion Nausea Persistent coughing or wheezing Shortness of breath (dyspnea) Swelling (edema) of the feet, legs, or abdomen

Diabetes Symptoms The two types of diabetes have very similar symptoms. The first symptoms are related to the direct effects of high blood sugar levels. When the blood sugar level rises above 160 to 180 mg/dL, sugar spills into the urine. When the level of sugar in the urine rises even higher, the kidneys excrete additional water to dilute the large amount of sugar. Because the kidneys produce excessive urine, people with diabetes urinate large volumes frequently (polyuria). The excessive urination creates abnormal thirst (polydipsia). Because excessive calories are lost in the urine, people lose weight. To compensate, people often feel excessively hungry. Other symptoms include blurred vision, drowsiness, nausea, and decreased endurance during exercise. Type 1 : In people with type 1 diabetes, the symptoms often begin abruptly and dramatically. A condition called diabetic ketoacidosis may quickly develop. Without insulin, most cells cannot use the sugar tha...
