If vomiting occurs, family members should immediately take the patient to the hospital to
take emergency measures, and visions to the pillow were lying, hot food and other proteins
forbidden foods.
Upper gastrointestinal bleeding rescue principles: supportive therapy, transfusion, blood
transfusions, to prevent and correct the shock, the use of appropriate drugs to stop
bleeding. Rescue the most important process to blood transfusion, and coagulation factors
with rich fresh blood. Another important measure is to rescue the bleeding. Methods include
drugs to stop bleeding, mechanical hemostasis, endoscopic vascular embolization and surgery
to stop bleeding.
① drugs to stop bleeding: portal venous pressure lead to esophageal and gastric bleeding,
should seek to reduce portal venous pressure, may be oral or intravenous infusion of
propranolol pituitrin, vasopressin and somatostatin octapeptide. At the same time using
hemostatic agents, such as vitamin K, blood safety and network, 6 - amino acid, aromatic
acid and anti-fibrinolytic Chinese Baiji powder, Callicarpa grass.
② mechanical hemostasis: The main three-balloon catheter hemostasis. Such as the use of
these drugs still no hemostatic effect, but not immediate surgical treatment should
immediately use this method. If appropriate balloon placed bits can be achieved hemostasis.
Application, Weinang inflated to more than 200-400 ml of normal charge; esophageal
inflatable sac relatively small (80 ml), because of esophageal varices is caused by gastric
vein, to live as long as the oppressed gastric vein, bleeding on to stop. If you still can
not effectively stop bleeding, should continue to increase the amount of esophageal capsule
inflated. Gastric tube was also advocated saline injection 8 mg of norepinephrine added to
gastric contraction of blood vessels, and thus continue to hemorrhage after balloon
compression have an effect. To avoid compression mucosal injury, which should be placed
every 12-hour air pressure 1-2 hours. Hemostasis measures less than 3 days, 3 days later
still bleeding should consider taking other measures.
③ endoscopic hemostasis: The conservative medical treatment fails in patients using
endoscopic sclerotherapy to stop bleeding. Acute Bleeding rate of 95% hemostatic parts of
the blood vessels for embolization, such as the bleeding site difficult to determine, and
spraying of thrombin in endoscopic hemostasis.
④ surgical treatment: The treatment of the above methods is still a lot of bleeding or
recurrent bleeding, surgical treatment should be considered, methods are: gastric and
esophageal variceal ligation; cross-section of the fundus, the stomach again - anastomosis;
if the general condition of patients is still stability will be considered for the portal
vein or splenorenal shunt anastomosis.

Walking is conducive to the rehabilitation of cancer patients
Rehabilitation exercise in cancer patients, the first is to walk worthy of recommendation.
Exercise and it is not simple, not time and space constraints, in addition to bedridden
patients, all tumor patients can choose this movement.
Walking can be informal season, at any time possible. Spring Grass step, step a small river
in summer and autumn tours Lotus Lake, the winter line of pine trees, the all-win fun, a
walk and relax. Walking is also not restricted by space, both in the fields of a small
country road walk slowly, or walking the avenue in the city tour, and that wide space, green
environment, fresh air, will make exhilarating, relaxed and happy. Walking also has learned,
an old saying: "Walkers, the so-called casual and informal, and the line and stand, and the
legislature and the line, the state must hold a comfortable leisure."
Introduce you to walk under for the essentials:
(1) should be loose clothing, shoes and socks to the right, if the elderly physically weak,
can Zhu rod and line, to ensure safety.
(2) a walk to calm, peace of mind, get rid of all other thoughts.
(3) walking to be easy, like strolling, the Lotus clear, internal and external coordination
to achieve the peace of the whole body blood.
(4) the gradual, within our capabilities. Time may be longer or shorter, so that shape labor
and tireless, Wuling gas called on lack of breath.
(5) Walking time: First, take a walk early in the morning, between exposure to flowers and
trees, you can cool the spirit of adjustable blood. Second, take a walk after eating, the
ancients said: "Stop the stomach after a meal of food, will be put on hold a few hundred
paces, bulk of its gas to lose in the spleen, while the iron is easy to corrupt." Third,
take a walk before going to bed, the spirit can relax and promote sleep . Other times, can
walk, Insist, for a long time will benefit

Minimally invasive treatment of gynecological cancer awareness
Recognizing high-tech equipment
This amazing technology is known as the "key hole" in the completion of the minimally
invasive surgery, which is mainly laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, and other advanced equipment,
Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy so what is it? Us together Meet.
Laparoscopic System is an international advanced endoscopic techniques and image display
technology in a sophisticated medical equipment, not only can be used in gynecology, like
medicine, surgery and so can use it for clinical diagnosis and use of a variety of minimally
invasive surgery .
It mainly consists of imaging systems, image transmission coupling system, display and
recording and reproduction systems, lighting systems, pneumatic systems and surgical
instruments composed of six parts, each part has a different division of labor, after a
doctor's delicate operation, you can get excellent surgery effects, can confirm the
diagnosis, removal of gynecological cancer (tumor).
The optical system uses hysteroscopy rod lens and the multilayer film of advanced
technology, large field of view, high definition, good light transmission, color fidelity,
at present, which in endometrial polyps, uterine fibroids, and other house cavity physical
diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients is the role of any inspection method can not be
replaced.
Experience high-tech effects
Besides c-sections, such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, endometriosis, fallopian tube
recanalization, hysterectomy, and so can be treated minimally invasive surgery and minimally
invasive. Medical use of laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, RF ablation device, such as ultrasound-
mediated devices, only the patient's abdominal incision five mm holes; in the display,
lesions were enlarged about 4 times, doctors monitor screen can be carried out surgery, the
patient little or no damage other parts. After surgery, a Band-Aid will be able to cover the
wound, the body recover quickly.
Widely used intrauterine hysteroscopic examination, diagnosis and treatment of intrauterine
adhesions and infertility treatment. The vagina into the uterine cavity by hysteroscopy, the
uterine cavity can be directly observed the situation. Surgery without anesthesia or in the
minor can be carried out under anesthesia, takes about half an hour or so, no bruises, no
hospital, checked the rest for one hour to go home. It has a trauma, quicker recovery, the
treatment completely and so on.

Cancer survivors and the use of alternative medicine
August 13, 2008 - According to August 4 in Cancer, published online new research data shows
that a considerable number of cancer survivors are receiving alternative medicine (CM)
health care, and traditional courses of treatment; these survivors were more likely to use
of CM is white, female, age below 55 years of age, and high-income patients; breast and
ovarian cancer survivors were more likely to use CM, melanoma and kidney cancer survivors
are least likely to use these treatment modalities .
From the American Cancer Society, said lead author Ted Gansler, MD, breast and ovarian
cancer survivors, compared to other survivors are more likely to use the CM, this is not
just confined to women with ovarian cancer, breast cancer, also rare in men. For example,
breast and ovarian cancer patients with all forms of CM in the case, more common than the
survivors of uterine cancer, cervical cancer patients are also women. Moreover, when
considering a multivariate regression analysis of gender, age, stage of disease and many
other factors, use of cancer types is still a significant predictor of CM.
Use of alternative therapies is common in the United States, and more and more different
health status of patients receiving alternative therapies. Analysis from the 2002 National
Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data show that 31,044 bits respondents, 36% reported in the
past year received at least more than one alternative therapy. If due to pray for the health
of people using alternative therapies into the use of the definition of CM, this figure will
jump to 62%.
In reply to NHIS survey of 1,904 bits cancer survivors, 40% said in the past year, using
some form of CM, 62% said that through prayer to heal; when the control factor, cancer
survivors are still using the case of CM higher than the general population, but other
chronic diseases, almost the same symptoms.
Ganser, MD, explained that a goal of the current study is the individual personality,
demographic characteristics and medical conditions affect the health decisions, such as
whether or not to use the CM, have a better understanding. Ganser, MD, told Medscape
Oncology that, because the result of differences in cancer types, may be cancer, prognosis
and severity of symptoms, or even adverse effects, together with various cancers for a
person's feelings, and the internal network of cancer survivors in the Personality and
Social group of. Cancer survivors do with gender differences in CM diagnosis will be
affected.
For example, he pointed out that yoga is more susceptible to female cancer survivors
welcome, far better than male cancer survivors, but also seems to be a common trend in the
general population. He said that you would expect that participation in yoga class women
than men. Gender differences in cognition and shared sense of the difference may affect the
use of certain alternative therapies, the attitude of different methods, such as massage,
which involves touching, the same will be affected.
In the current study, researchers analyzed 4,931 bits of cancer survivors, the survivors are
in the initial diagnosis in 10 to 24 months to census; their analysis of these survivors
with the use of CM-related prevalence and the relationship between medical and demographic.
These participants from 11 state registries, selected randomly, and these patients are in
January 2000 to September 2003 were diagnosed among breast cancer, prostate cancer, bladder
cancer, uterine cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer or ovarian cancer, melanoma or skin
cancer, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. These participants received by mail and telephone
survey, and asked about the use of 19 types of CM issues.
More than half of the participants were women (57.6%), mainly non-Hispanic whites (87.5%),
about than one third of participants (31.7%) younger than 65 years of age; group of patients
Nearly Sanfen II (60.5%) said that the family income of at least 40,000 U.S. dollars, and
nearly than one third more than at the university level of education (36.3%).
CM in 19 species in the study, prayer and spiritual training is the most common, 61.4% of
survivors report such CM; followed by a relaxation exercise (44.3%), faith and spiritual
convalescence (42.4%), nutritional supplements and vitamin intake (40.1%), meditation (15%),
religious consultation (11.3%) and massage (11.2%), and finally, support groups (9.7%).
Hypnosis rarely used (0.4%), feedback therapy (1.0%), acupuncture (1.2%) while the use of a
little more.
Compared with men, women regardless of use that are more common on the CM; the difference
between the sexes in the biological therapy is the smallest (odds ratio [OR], 0.719), rather
than the spirit of the mind body therapy (OR, 0.772), But the biggest gestures and body-
based learning (OR, 0.336), and energy medicine study (OR, 0.334).

Cancer patients during different treatment diets
Chemical treatment: chemotherapy (chemotherapy) in patients during the taste, smell changes,
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lack of nutritional intake so that patients, resulting in water
and electrolyte imbalances. Some chemotherapy can cause stomatitis and constipation. Of loss
of appetite in patients who can use some of the usual appetizer of food preferences (such as
plum juice, fruit juice), a food with less oil or no oil to prevent nausea, eat crude fiber
foods such as leek, celery, etc. to promote bowel movements. Stomatitis who eat less
residue, easy to digest, no stimulation of soft food or semi-liquid, and eat animals, liver
and egg yolk, if necessary, vitamin B2, vitamin C. Taking dates, angelica, astragalus and
other drugs liters of blood. Avoid the simultaneous intake of hot or cold food, and to
encourage a small amount of movement before the meal.
Radiation therapy: side effects of radiotherapy treatment depends on the location and dose.
Often appear in patients with head and neck radiotherapy xerostomia, mouth ulcers. This
period of low-fat diet should be light, non-stimulating, easy to chew soft food or semi-
liquid-based, while using honeysuckle, astragalus, chrysanthemum bubble suit. The lower neck
and mediastinal radiotherapy in patients prone to swallowing difficulties caused by
esophagitis, should be given to high-quality liquid or semi-liquid, to avoid cold, hot and
spicy food. Abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy prone to diarrhea, intestinal adhesions,
intestinal obstruction, etc. of the change, and you should parenteral nutrition therapy.
Surgical treatment: head and neck surgery patients need to use nasal feeding nutrition.
Stomach and total or subtotal after the patients, reducing the stomach capacity, reduced
ability to digest, patients often restricted because of discomfort after eating food intake.
Time to eat liquids, to prevent dumping syndrome, should be thick gruel, soft rice is
appropriate, smaller meals. Intestinal surgery applications of total parenteral nutrition to
replenish nutrients.
Radiofrequency hyperthermia: hyperthermia, the patient a lot of sweat, water, electrolytes
lost more, hyperthermia patient to drink salt water 2000ml, eating foods high in sodium
potassium such as bananas, oranges, fat free broth, Eat production food such as beans and
other gas.
In addition, due to physical weakness in advanced cancer patients, reduced activity,
combined use of pain medications cause constipation caused by decreased bowel movements.
Guiding patients with multiple food rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, fresh fruits
and vegetables, and contains crude fiber brown rice, beans and other foods; encourage more
water, eat carrots, garlic, jam, raw cucumber and other food to gas production increased
bowel movements, and develop good bowel habits.

Often appear in patients with head and neck radiotherapy xerostomia, mouth ulcers. This
period of low-fat diet should be light, non-stimulating, easy to chew soft food or semi-
liquid-based, while using honeysuckle, astragalus, chrysanthemum bubble suit. The lower neck
and mediastinal radiotherapy in patients prone to swallowing difficulties caused by
esophagitis, should be given to high-quality liquid or semi-liquid, to avoid cold, hot and
spicy food. Abdominal and pelvic radiotherapy prone to diarrhea, intestinal adhesions,
intestinal obstruction, etc. of the change, and you should parenteral nutrition therapy.
Surgical treatment: head and neck surgery patients need to use nasal feeding nutrition.
Stomach and total or subtotal after the patients, reducing the stomach capacity, reduced
ability to digest, patients often restricted because of discomfort after eating food intake.
Time to eat liquids, to prevent dumping syndrome, should be thick gruel, soft rice is
appropriate, smaller meals. Intestinal surgery applications of total parenteral nutrition to
replenish nutrients.
Radiofrequency hyperthermia: hyperthermia, the patient a lot of sweat, water, electrolytes
lost more, hyperthermia patient to drink salt water 2000ml, eating foods high in sodium
potassium such as bananas, oranges, fat free broth, Eat production food such as beans and
other gas.
In addition, due to physical weakness in advanced cancer patients, reduced activity,
combined use of pain medications cause constipation caused by decreased bowel movements.
Guiding patients with multiple food rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, fresh fruits
and vegetables, and contains crude fiber brown rice, beans and other foods; encourage more
water, eat carrots, garlic, jam, raw cucumber and other food to gas production increased
bowel movements, and develop good bowel habits.

Prone to cause mesothelioma asbestos
With a good tensile strength, heat resistance and resistance to corrosion, but also difficult to burn, asbestos - a widely used in the construction of the shield silicate mineral fibers, is still welcomed by the people. As everyone knows, is that asbestos, has become a cause of lung cancer, pleura - the first killer of malignant pleural mesothelioma.This year, the Chinese-American scientist Dr. Shi Quan successfully developed the first and only for the treatment of malignant pleural mesothelioma drug, is the world's largest scientific Society American Chemical Society awarded the "Heroes of Chemistry Award", which allows malignant pleural Mesothelioma once again become the focus of attention people.
Dr. Shi In an interview with "Life Times" reporter, said that at present in malignant pleural mesothelioma has been increasing worldwide trend, and the high mortality rate. The latency period of the disease 20-50 years, peak incidence in different countries, although China's growth rate is lower than the asbestos industry in Europe and America, it is still asbestos-producing countries, so in the near future will inevitably encounter peak incidence.
Dr. Shi said that the current very limited treatment of the disease, medication --- pemetrexed characteristics because of its side effects are more and more attention. "It is an anti-folate drugs, can also block cancer cell growth and division required for a key enzyme in folate synthesis led to cell death."
According to Dr. Shi introduction, pemetrexed has been strong because the toxicity was almost forced to terminate the study, researchers found that can, if the drug 3-5 days before, they begin to supplement vitamin B12 and folic acid, can control the drug toxicity, so that patients get a good quality of life, and even became the current "minimal side effects of chemotherapy drugs"

Mesothelioma asbestos cancer
Human organs are accompanied by a protective capsule known as the skin. Instance mesothelilial peritoneal membrane (abdominal organs), pleura (lungs), pericardial (heart). Under certain conditions, protective film cells out of control and become cancer. The disease known as mesothelioma, a rare cancer caused by long-term inhalation of asbestos dust. The disease was found in those who work in shipyards, asbestos mines, factories, industrial production of asbestos products, heating, construction and other industries. Each year, about 3,000 in the United States, the majority of patients between 50-70 years old . Statistics show that commonly affect men, African Americans were more than whites. First, in-depth study in the late 1700s to do research in the 60's. Tumors can be benign or malignant mesothelioma. Malignant mesothelioma are divided into three types: ● epithelium, accounting for seventy percent of mesothelioma. ● sarcoma, accounting for 7-20%. ● mixed or biphasic, accounting for 20-35%. When asbestos fibers into the lungs breathing air travel to reach them through a large number of small channels, from their pleura. They pleural injury: skin cells to cause cancer; lung tissue caused by lung cancer; and the development of scar tissue called the lungs of asbestos. When they reached the swallowed asbestos fibers, resulting in abdominal peritoneal mesothelioma. Research shows that this disease only manifests 20-50 years after asbestos dust was. The symptoms rather than specific disease patients may evolve: ● breathing. ● Chest pain accompanied by tension caused by the accumulation of pleural fluid is believed to be. ● low back pain. ● facial swelling and weapons. ● sensory loss. ● Muscle weakness. ● nausea. ● vomiting. ● weight loss is unknown. ● persistent dry cough. ● sore throat. ● anemia. ● fever. ● constipation. ● problems and blood clots. Because of these common ailments, patients tend to ignore symptoms. It is best to consult a doctor if any of these symptoms persist or you think you have knowingly or unknowingly exposed to asbestos. The doctor will: ● Remove the detailed history and try to determine the symptoms and risk factors. ● a thorough physical examination and check marks: Australia pleural effusion, chest cavity fluid accumulation. Australia peritoneal fluid. O pericardial effusion, fluid in the lining of the heart. ● to take chest X-ray examination, pleural thickening and calcification, lower lung fissures. ● required CT scans to determine a specific location, size, and extent of the problem, if there is any doubt. ● Organization recommend testing samples and pleural fluid. Other risk factors are cigarette or cigar smoking, radiation exposure, zeolite is a compound similar to asbestos exposure or infection exposure activated, a monkey virus. The working environment of those adventures are put on protective clothing, suspended particles around the periodic inspection of asbestos and to ensure that they have regular medical examinations to doctors insisted that any disease. Aware of their problems, and contribute to disease.
Mesothelioma cancer treatment asbestos cancer
Mesothelioma is a slurry of the lining of various organs in the body of a cancer disease. Among them, lung, heart and stomach to be most affected.
Estimated that each year 2,000 new mesothelioma case report. Patients suffering from this disease have pre-cancer asbestos exposure, mesothelioma that the only known cause. Mesotheliomic patients often tell 6 - 12 months short of the survival period. However, the study doctors specialized in treating malignant mesothelioma of the leading cancer centers expect better survival rates. Though mesothelioma causes immense pain and suffering to the victims along with the expected short-lived, some treatments lead to the success of mesothelioma cancer tumor reduction and removal.
Mesothelioma treatment depends on many factors, including the stage of cancer, malignant cells, pathology reports to determine the nature of cancer cell cycle and the patient's age and health. The following detailed description of the selected treatment of mesothelioma.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is that the "systematic treatment" mesothelioma use drugs, chemicals and medicine to kill cancer cells with high efficiency. It is a tablet form or injected patients directly into the body. Sometimes, medicine is inserted directly into the chest, known as intrapleural chemotherapy, or into the abdomen, called intraperitoneal chemotherapy, the destruction of cancer cell growth. It has also been restricted to patients before and after surgery mesothelioma cancer growth.
Wide range of uses pemetrexed, Alimta ®, in Cisplatin (a standard platinum compound) is to treat the combination of pleural mesothelioma. Drugs by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval in February 2004. The drug work is simple: it enters the blood of patients and the killing of cancer cells in the body, when the growth of malignant cells when to stop. Vitamin B12 and folic acid drug was given to accept that some patients side effects.
Radiation or radiation therapy
Mesothelioma is a slurry of the lining of various organs in the body of a cancer disease. Among them, lung, heart and stomach to be most affected.
Estimated that each year 2,000 new mesothelioma case report. Patients suffering from this disease have pre-cancer asbestos exposure, mesothelioma that the only known cause.

Though mesothelioma causes immense pain and suffering to the victims along with the expected short-lived, some treatments lead to the success of mesothelioma cancer tumor reduction and removal. Rado radiation or therapy is one of the mesothelioma treatment can be used on suffer from asbestos-related cancer (mesothelioma) of the patients.
Radiation or radio therapy:
Radiation or radiation therapy is a series of high-dose radiation, the use of the place of appearance (called external radiation therapy) or internal to the mesothelioma patients to be (called internal radiation therapy). It does this by X-rays or radioactive materials are aimed at the destruction of the body parts of cancer cells.
External radiation therapy:
The external radiation therapy, the radiation through the use of X-ray and cobalt in patients irradiated region of the body. Such radiation therapy is a relatively painless way, is divided into several meetings. Although it reduced tumor size, external radiation therapy can also damage normal cells. Therefore, the idea has its place at the meeting can be repaired in normal cells the natural loss of control.
Internal radiation therapy:
Internal than external radiation therapy is radiation therapy to provide a higher amount of radiation to a clinical practice in patients with mesothelioma. This is usually to the extreme stage of cancer in those patients. In terms of internal radiation therapy, a radioactive material is placed inside the patient's tumor or radioactive fluid is given by mouth or injected into a patient. Radioactive material and then flow in the body, help in the blood and destroy cancer cells.
Radiation therapy can be performed, with or without chemotherapy after surgery to prevent mesothelioma reproduction. Doctor may also provide limited radiation therapy to patients, according to the nature of cancer, location and stage. Some side effects during radiation therapy, small, and the end of the first therapy to reduce emission of patients were recorded. Consult a professional physician about the side effects of cancer and its treatment of the details, before receiving radiotherapy.
