Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression (pinching) of the median nerve. The compression can be caused by swelling of tissue around or in the tunnel or by bands of fibrous tissue that form on the palm side of the wrist.

The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome are odd sensations, numbness, tingling, and pain in the first three fingers and half of the fourth finger on the thumb side of the hand. Sometimes the entire hand may be affected. Occasionally, there is also pain and a burning or tingling sensation in the forearm. Burning or aching pain with numbness and tingling often wake people at night because of the way the hand is positioned. The person may shake the hand to try to restore normal feeling. With time, the muscles in the hand on the thumb side can weaken and shrink through lack of use (atrophy).

Celiac disease is an immunologically mediated disease in genetically susceptible people caused by intolerance to gluten, resulting in mucosal inflammation and villous atrophy, which causes malabsorption…

“Celiac” refers to things inside your belly, including your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Your GI tract is the tube that goes from your mouth to your anus. The GI tract includes your esophagus (food pipe), stomach, and small and large intestines. Your intestines are where food is absorbed.

What is celiac disease?

Celiac disease is a disease of the small intestines that keeps you from absorbing all the nutrients in your food. Nutrients include protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Not absorbing nutrients is called malabsorption. Not getting the nutrients you need is called malnutrition.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disease that runs in families
It causes problems eating food that contains the protein gluten, which is in wheat, barley, rye, and foods made from those grains
Symptoms include oily, bad-smelling diarrhea, feeling tired, and losing weight
Children won’t grow at a normal rate

Alzheimer disease causes many of the same symptoms as other types of dementia. However, people with Alzheimer disease may have an especially hard time remembering recent events.

Alzheimer disease causes problems with:

Memory
Using language
Personality
Thinking clearly

These problems make it hard to do normal daily tasks, such as shopping, making meals, and managing money. People also may have trouble behaving appropriately.

Early symptoms of Alzheimer disease:

Forgetting things that just happened
Feeling depressed, afraid, anxious, or having few emotions
Having trouble making decisions
Having trouble finding the right word to say
Getting confused by things seen and heard
Finding it hard to drive a car
Trouble falling or staying asleep

Later symptoms of Alzheimer disease:

Trouble remembering past events
Not recognizing familiar people and things
Wandering
Getting irritated easily to the point where the person may lash out and hit others
Not knowing the time or place
Needing help to do daily activities, such as eating, getting dressed, and bathing
Unable to hold urine

Eventually, people with Alzheimer disease lose almost all brain function. They can’t get out of bed or even move. Eventually, they can’t even swallow food that’s placed in their mouth

Acne is caused by an interaction between hormones, skin oils, and bacteria, which results in inflammation of hair follicles (the pores in the skin where hair grows). Acne is characterized by many types of skin abnormalities (lesions).

Acne occurs mainly during puberty, when the sebaceous glands are stimulated by increased hormone levels, especially the androgens (such astestosterone), resulting in excessive sebum production. By a person’s early to mid 20s, hormone levels usually have decreased enough that acne lessens or disappears. However, up to 40% of women may have acne into their 40s.

Other conditions that involve hormonal changes can affect the occurrence of acne as well:

Pregnancy or menstruation
Polycystic ovary syndrome
Certain drugs
Certain products applied to the skin
Too-tight clothing
High humidity and sweating

Microbiology digestive stool analysis includes comprehensive bacteriology and yeast culture to identify the presence of beneficial flora, as well as, detection of infectious pathogens. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing to prescriptive and natural agents is also provided with this test.

Digital Pulse Analyzer – Arterial Elasticity

27/03/19

The Digital Pulse Analyzer (DPA) provides information on arterial wall stiffness and estimates biological age of arteries. The DPA analyzes and provides an assessment of how the walls of the arteries expand and relax when the heart beats and blood travels through the arteries.

Heart Rate Variability

27/03/19

Heart Rate Variability is the physiological phenomenon of variation in the time interval between heart beats. It is measured by the variation in the beat to beat. This test provides information related to the balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.

Serum Chemistry Test

Chemistry panels are groups of tests routinely ordered to determine a person’s general health status. This blood test check kidney, liver, electrolytes, minerals, and cholesterol. The blood draws are performed in the office and then sent to the lab for testing.
