What Are The Symptoms?

Scleroderma would usually begin with Raynaud’s phenomenon or other skin problems. After that, it could stop there if it is limited scleroderma of it could spread to other organs if the condition is systemic sclerosis. The most common part to be affected with the development of scleroderma within are the digestive organs, primarily the esophagus. The kidneys are also one of the most affected organs with scleroderma.

While cardiac involvement in scleroderma is quite rare, it is one of the most fatal types of scleroderma as it can cause numerous heart diseases. Lung problems brought about by scleroderma used to be the leading cause of death until effective medications were discovered and changed the whole picture. As of now, these problems with different organs can be managed with medical help.

How Can It Be Cured?

Since scleroderma has no definite cause, it also has no known cure. The approach to scleroderma treatment is more of limiting damages and treating individual symptoms rather than completely removing the cause of scleroderma in a patient. This however has turned out well in fact, lung problems which used to be the leading cause of deaths in scleroderma patients has already been managed well. Medications which have proven effective have changed the whole picture and so has it for other body parts.

If ever a patient should develop side effects or further complications with medications, he or she could either take alternative medications or go for surgery. All of these treatment methods go well with rehabilitation therapy every once in a while to restore normal organ function and as well as clean and healthy living.

Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that primarily affects the connective tissue, this of which is found all over our body in our skin, joints and in most of our organs. It happens when the antibodies in your immune system would damage your tissues, which is contrary to their main purpose of which is to protect them. That in turn would cause the scarring of the affected areas that would also make them thicken. Blood supply to the affected area is limited and that causes the function to also be limited.

Scleroderma can happen to anyone, but it is more likely to appear in some than it is on others. Scleroderma is four times more likely to happen to women than it is on men and it usually develops between the ages of 30 and 50. It is also found often in African-American women and of the Native American Choctaw tribe. It rarely occurs among northern Asians and children.

What Are The Types Of Scleroderma?

Scleroderma can be classified according the area that it is affecting as well as the degree. Mainly, there are two forms of scleroderma. The localized type is known as limited scleroderma. This type would usually only affect a small portion, usually on the skin and even if it could disable a patient, it is not fatal most of the time. While this is considerably mild, it could develop rapidly and could start affecting the organs, if that happens, the condition in known as systemic sclerosis.

Systemic sclerosis is the severe form of the disease and would tend to be more fatal than the localized type. This is because it limits blood flow to the organs, causing different types of problems. The affected organs can be anywhere from the digestive system, the kidney, the lungs and the heart. Conditions with organs however can be managed with the use of careful medication.

Mood Swings in Women (part 2 of 2)

http://www.bromotravelindo.com

Studies show that women suffering from post partum mood swings may have been suffering from a similar condition prior to their childbirth or even their pregnancy. In many cases, their condition hasn’t been diagnosed, much less treated.

Pregnancy Mood Swings
Mood swings during a woman’s pregnancy is most likely to be caused by the stress of their changed situation, albeit temporary, as well as the various demands their condition imposes on them.

For one thing, pregnant women will notice distinctive changes in their appearances, most of which they may consider displeasing. This can easily lead to mood swings prompted by their insecurities. In such cases, the constant care and support of their partner and loved ones can go a long way in helping them get over their pregnancy blues.

Problems with pregnancy can also be a cause for women to experience mood swings. A woman may feel incomplete or inadequate if she has trouble conceiving. Abortion, on the other hand, especially when unplanned or forced, can burden a woman with guilt and regret which could then lead to manic mood swings.

Menstruation
Finally and perhaps the most common reason of all, menstruation – in all its stages or phases – could be the cause of a woman’s rapid mood swings. Although there have been no studies providing sufficient evidence for a link between depression and menstruation or menopause, it’s also likely that women who have already suffered previously from depression are more likely to suffer the same thing when they are menstruating or have reached the stage of menopause.

Pain occasionally accompanies such bodily processes and when they do, it’s not surprising that mood swings could follow right after.

Mood swings, also known as mood disorder, are experienced by twice as many females as males. Studies also show that mood swings in women tend to be longer and more manic. There are various reasons why women suffer from mood swings and determining its cause is one of the best ways to help affected individuals get over them.

Stress
Relationships of all kinds are very important for women. Romantic relationships are perhaps the most important of all and when problems exist within such relationships, they lead to stress and consequently, to mood swings.

Studies show that stress is least prevalent with married couples but they tend to be higher with those who are divorced or separated. Since stress is directly proportionate with the health of your relationship, making things work with your partner will reduce chances of mood swings occurring.

A positive relationship within a marriage is one that has fewer disputes and where partners are intimate and comfortable with confiding in each other.

Of course, romantic relationships do not have exclusive ownership of stress. Parenthood, too, can cause stress as well as mood swings, regardless of whether you’re a single parent or not. Caring for aging parents comes with its own set of problems and similar possibilities for mood swings.

Last but not the least, stress in the workplace can cause women to suffer from mood swings, too.

Post Partum Mood Swings
Giving birth to a child is a life changing event in more ways than one. Many mothers come out of this process happier and more fulfilled. Others are not as fortunate and they end up suffering from post partum depression and in which mood swing is one of its various symptoms.

The second type is the "MOTO" or mail order-telephone order charges higher rates for services because it requires more effort for any transaction to be made. Experts say that the MOTO accounts were created to cater to the credit card processing needs of those mail order companies when they receive sales or other transactions with the use of either mail and telephone line. This type of merchant account is usually more expensive because it uses more pieces of equipment like modern technologies—through the personal computer complete with accessories needed like the keypad and the physical terminal as well as the software needed for the program to run effectively.

The third type is the "Internet" which is very similar to the cost, the set of rules, and the means of using the "MOTO". The only difference is that it is more organized and more updated. Here, the transactions are being made using a virtual terminal that play as the "gateway" for payments and other processes that are being made. The internet type of merchant account uses usually uses a program that is custom-designed for its clientele such as the HTML format or the shopping cart format when dealing with payment processes and transactions.

People who don’t have much knowledge on these types would be easily confused since they all adhere to a common policy—to ensure that there is efficient merchant account processing. But, when closely examined, there are great differences in these types, which cannot be ignored. When these differences are not identified early and properly, it can be detrimental to the business itself.

Experts say that the major differences among these three types is the rates or charges they have when it comes to transaction fees and the rules they implement in terms of account usage.

The tuck stitch is a knitting technique of producing a textured pattern of cloth. This type of stitch can be created only by using a knitting machine. Depending on the knitter’s preferences, either side of the cloth can be used as the right side. Two or more colors can be included a tuck stitch pattern. The slip stitch is less textured than the tuck stitch and uses one or more colors in the fabric pattern.

A Fair Isle stitch is a stitch whereby two colors can be included in a single row. This stitch pattern can be produced on machines using patterning devices or on olden style machines by hand selection of needles. A simple Stockinette stitch is composed of alternate rows of knit stitches and purl stitches.

Knit-weaving is a knitting technique of producing a thicker fabric by knitting the purl side of the fabric. But this technique makes use of a weaving yarn, which is quite thick as compared to the knitting yarn. Plating is a technique whereby two strands of yarn are held in a way that one appears to be in front of the other. Striking effects can be created on a ribbed fabric through plating.

Another interesting knitting technique is that of producing a double jacquard fabric. This fabric can be produced using a knitting machine with a patterning device. The double jacquard has two reverse colors across the fabric.

Those planning to start with a piece of knit work could follow a few techniques as an aid to produce a fine finished product. These pertain to the size of the needle, the type of yarn and type of patterns and designs.
