Inflammatory breast tumor: Blocking the lymphatic vessels

Inflammatory breast tumor symptoms are liken to the orange skin

Inflammatory breast tumor or cancer develops rapidly causing the affected breast to turn red, swollen and tender. It is a rare type of breast cancer in most patients. It will be experienced when cancer cells block the lymphatic vessel on the breast skin thereby causing the said characteristics. This type of cancer is known to be a locally advanced cancer because of its ability of spreading from its original location to the nearby tissues and even to the lymph nodes. According to the experts at AWAREmed health and wellness resource center, this disease (cancer) can easily be mistaken for a breast infection. Breast infections are commonly known for causing the redness and welling of the breast. This is a serious problem, and the moment you notice these signs, it is important that you seek immediate medical attention. Besides these, there are several other signs and symptoms as discussed below.

Inflammatory breast tumor: Symptoms

Signs and symptoms of inflammatory breast cancer include:

Unfamiliar warmth the affected breast
Thickness, heaviness or visible enlargement of one breast
Tenderness, pain or aching
Rapid and consistent changes in the appearance of one breast, over the course of several weeks
The nipple turning inward and flattening
Enlarged lymph nodes under the arm, above the collarbone or below the collarbone
Discoloration, giving the breast a red, purple, pink or bruised appearance
Dimpling or ridges on the skin of the affected breast, similar to an orange skin

In most cases the inflammatory breast cancer unlike other types of cancer, doesn’t form a lump.

Inflammatory breast tumor: When is it appropriate to see a doctor?

Whereas people should go for regular screening, it is important that as soon as you notice these signs and symptoms, you will need to seek an appointment with your doctor right away. Besides these facts, it is worth noting that the other more common conditions have signs and symptoms resembling those of inflammatory breast cancer. A breast injury or breast infection (mastitis) may cause redness, swelling and pain.

And like we had mention before, inflammatory breast cancer can easily be mistaken with a breast infections which are very common. At this stage, treatment may be administered using antibiotics for a week or so, and if the symptoms respond to antibiotics, then additional testing won’t be necessary. However, where the redness does not improve, a more serious cause like inflammatory breast cancer may be investigated by your doctor. Finally doctor Akoury reiterates that, for those who may have been treated for breast infection before, if their symptoms doesn’t improve a mammogram or other test to evaluate such signs and symptoms is highly recommended. But in doing all these, we must appreciate that the best way of determine if such symptoms are caused by inflammatory breast cancer is to do a biopsy to remove a sample of tissue for testing. We appreciate that this disease come with great shock and many suffer more form the shock than even the cancer cells. We would want to help you go through the whole exercise if only you can let us know your struggles.

Metabolic syndromes and inflammation

April 25, 2017

Metabolic syndromes and inflammation put together can trigger serious chronic health problems

Metabolic syndromes and inflammation: The effects on human organs

Inflammation has recently been linked with metabolic syndromes, which is a cluster of symptoms that raise your risk for chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Those symptoms include hypertension, low levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, above-normal blood glucose and triglyceride levels, and a large waist. Most people with metabolic syndrome are obese and inactive, so these symptoms have become associated with obesity. However, many obese people don’t have those symptoms. They fall into a category called metabolically healthy obese. What that means explains doctor Dalal Akoury is that they don’t look very good in a swimsuit, but if you look at their blood, they’re in pretty good shape. This is probably because they don’t have chronic inflammation. Meaning that among other inflammation effects, we may not say that obesity causes inflammation, but we can comfortably say that inflammation drives obesity.

Metabolic syndromes and inflammation: Depression

Doctor Akoury says that inflammation may drive depression in a similar fashion. The links between inflammation and depression are complex and we are just beginning to understand how they affect each other. Though it is possible that depression may lead to changes that cause inflammation, experimental studies have shown that increases in inflammation can promote depression.

According to Canada’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health findings, it was established that people suffering from depression had 30 percent higher levels of inflammation in the brain. This was one of the first studies to show concretely that inflammation is present in depression even when other conditions are absent. Moreover, depression is still complex and unlikely to be caused by inflammation alone just like obesity.

When I started my career in the medical profession, and like many of my colleagues, I generally thought about depression as a psychiatric disorder or a mental health problem and I believe that many people still think of it that way. But nevertheless what I have come to realize is that depression is also a disorder with deep biological roots. It is as much of a physical issue as a mental one, and we should start talking about it that way. Like for instance, if you were to compare depression to a more physical illness. When you have the flu, your body’s immune system springs into action to fight it off, including increasing inflammation. In addition to nausea and fever, you also have symptoms of depression: fatigue, aches, mental fog and an unwillingness to leave the house. In a contagious illness, those symptoms help us rest and avoid spreading the disease, but in the depression, they’re nothing but trouble.

Metabolic syndromes and inflammation: Minimizing inflammation

Tests that indicate your levels of inflammation are available, but they can be expensive and aren’t always conclusive. They almost certainly aren’t covered by insurance unless you have an autoimmune disorder. It, therefore, means that you may never know your true levels of inflammation; however, you can still do your part to control it. Controlling inflammation is a balancing act. You need some, but not too much. By far, the best drug we have for this is diet.

Certain staples of the recent American diet promote high levels of inflammation. The two largest culprits are omega-6 fatty acids and insulin spikes brought on by consuming starchy carbs. The combination of insulin and omega-6 fatty acids is like a match and gasoline you get an explosion of this low-level inflammation.

To reduce it, the best foods are those with omega-3 fatty acids and high levels of polyphenols, the compounds in fruits and vegetables that give them color. These good fats and colorful fruits and vegetables, along with lean protein, make up the majority of his anti-inflammatory meal plan. Along with diet, a healthy lifestyle and stress reduction techniques help reduce levels of inflammation, especially in the brain. It is also important to maintain a healthy diet, stay active, keep a regular sleep schedule and limit the psychological stress we experience. And in all these ensure to consult with the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center for professional advice from time to time.

Inflammation effects on human organs

Inflammation effects on human organs are real and can be treated professionally

Inflammation effects on human organs: Damages caused by inflammation

Some of the health conditions affecting our life are known to us yet we often don’t notice them easily. Take for instance all the problem that are associated with chronic inflammation effects; many of us do not take notice of this until we experience an injury either by way of swellings, redness and pain flood that affects the area. But even with this indication, when we opted for treatment our focus is always on the pain and not the internal healing process. Inflammation can damage organs and cause disease, but its interference in the brain causes two common disorders. We are therefore going to be discussing the effects of inflammation on the body organs for a better understanding of the body’s vulnerability to this complication. Doctor Dalal Akoury explains that ordinarily, your body’s defense mechanism kicks in, and you don’t have to think too much about inflammation because it is always there when you need it.

However, even though this is so, inflammation might also occur when you don’t need it, and if it does, it can cause problems. In some people, inflammation is present at very low levels. It is no wonder that many experts now believe that this type of low-grade, chronic inflammation is responsible for a litany of chronic conditions. And according to the experts from AWAREmed Health and wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, when inflammation extends to the pancreas the affected person is at risk of getting diabetes. When it spreads to the immune system, you get cancer. And like cancer, this type of inflammation grows and spreads, damaging organs and causing all kinds of trouble. We will be focusing on this for a while but in the meantime, if you have any concern about this problem, doctor Akoury is always available for you and will help you in the best and professional manner.

Inflammation effects on human organs: Weakened signals

The speed with which inflammation spreads does not only cause damages to your organs but also interferes with your brain’s signals and to the rest of your body systems. With such many conditions, the trouble starts in the hypothalamus which is the command center of the brain. The command center then receives all these hormonal inputs that inform you when you’re tired or when to eat and what to do with those calories.

When you have inflammation, a protein called pro-inflammatory cytokines distorts those hormonal signals. As a result, inflammation might be causing conditions such as depression and obesity, which were correlated through research long before inflammation became a suspected culprit. Nonetheless, when it comes to depression, those cytokines communicate with the brain to induce different depressive symptoms, such as sad mood, fatigue, altered sleep and social-behavioral withdrawal. Inflammation also drives obesity in a similar manner.

Inflammatory detriment and obesity

February 27, 2017

Inflammatory detriment and obesity comes mainly from all toxic food elements

Inflammatory detriment and obesity: Interleukin-6

When addressing the problems that are associated with obesity, it is worth noting that, Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is possibly another factor associated with inflammatory detriment within the portal system. In her decades of practicing, doctor Dalal Akoury MD President and founder of AWAREmed health and wellness resource center reiterates that high levels of IL-6 are a marker for inflammation and vascular pathology. Obese subjects demonstrated a 50% greater portal vein IL-6 concentration, demonstrating, again, the profound effect visceral fat has on pathogenic indicators. Portal vein IL-6 correlates with systemic C-reactive protein concentrations.

C-reactive protein is associated with cardio- and peripheral vascular disease. C-reactive protein and oxidative stress are now presumed to interact in the early inflammatory processes of atherosclerosis. This is significant for young obese individuals. Although more research is necessary for conclusive association, C-reactive protein may be a new risk factor for CAD in individuals under 25 years of age.

Inflammatory detriment and obesity: Inflammation imbalances

The imbalance between increased inflammatory stimuli with a concurrent reduction in anti-inflammatory activity may be the foundation for the accelerated endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance associated with obesity and the comorbid disorders of metabolic disease. More research is needed to clearly delineate the particular relationships, but it seems evident that the low grade inflammation caused by obesity and visceral adiposity lead to the premature development of disease. This, more so than ever before, identifies the importance of weight management during the developmental years and ongoing efforts to control weight throughout one’s lifespan.

Nonetheless, this must not be seen to have shut the doors for individuals who are obese currently. The good news is that, there is still hope of recovery. This is because weight loss is related to reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation, and these beneficial effects are likely to translate into reduction of cardiovascular risk in obese individuals. Likewise, exercise and dietary management, along with pharmacologic intervention can lead to atherosclerotic reversal in the earlier stages of CAD. Individuals with central adiposity, poor blood lipid profiles, and hypertension or insulin resistance should seek immediate professional assistance to prevent further health detriment.

Finally, in view of professionalism in addressing this problem, it will interest you to note that, because of the passion of helping and eliminating addiction and weight related complications, doctor Akoury founded this facility, primarily to help in transforming each individual’s life through increasing awareness about health and wellness and by empowering individuals to find their own inner healing power. Besides that, it is also important to appreciate that, Akoury’s practice focuses on personalized medicine through healthy lifestyle choices that deal with primary prevention and underlying causes instead of patching up symptoms making her the best for all your treatment needs. You may now want to schedule an appointment with doctor Akoury on telephone number 843 213 1480 for the commencement of your treatment process professionally.

Cellular body inflammation causes obesity

January 23, 2017

Cellular body inflammation causes obesity can all be addressed beginning with change of life style

Cellular body inflammation causes obesity: Health complications attached

A common theme that links many diseases and chronic illness is uncontrolled cellular body inflammation. It is a factor with most diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and many autoimmune-related conditions. And from the expert desk at AWAREmed health and wellness resource center under the leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD, it will interest you to note that recently obesity has recently been added to this group of diseases because it is equally presenting a low grade inflammatory response within many of the body’s tissues, which cause deleterious effects leading to the development of cardiovascular and metabolic disease.

It is well known that being overweight is detrimental to one’s health, but until recently the known mechanisms were limited. Scientists over the last decade have started to unravel the mystery of why obesity leads to premature death. Although there is still much to learn, it is valuable to comprehend the known effects of chronic inflammation, as the prevalence of obesity continues to be a rising problem among the American population, particularly in children.

Cellular body inflammation causes obesity: Chronic Inflammation

Inflammation is, by design, a protective response leading to the repair of tissue. When inflammation becomes chronic, as is the case with obesity, chemical mediators, derived from different cellular activities, change in dynamics causing a progressive state of decline. Fat cells are now considered an immune organ that secretes numerous immune modulating chemicals. Visceral fat, in particular, is associated with the low grade inflammation that seems to be a contributing pathologic feature for metabolic disease through insulin resistance and the promotion of atherosclerotic build-up in circulatory vessels.

When high levels of visceral fat are combined with physical inactivity, over nutrition, and advancement in age, the effect becomes more pronounced. Visceral fat is highly metabolic and contributes to cytokine hyperactivity. Adipokines secreted from fat tissue influence the metabolic process and contribute to proper function. The consequent low grade inflammation associated with obesity causes disturbance in the secretion and function of adipokines. Research has identified changes in adiponectin, leptin, and resisting that exhibit harmful effects upon the body in obese individuals. Adiponectin is an antiatherogenic agent, meaning it helps prevent the development of atheroschlerotic plaque in blood vessels and slows the progression of atherosclerosis in coronary vessels. It does this by acting directly upon the vessel wall, inhibiting adhesive molecules from contributing to plaque formation and acts as a blocking agent to the formation of foam cells.

Finally, take note that in the skeletal muscle and the liver, adiponectin serves to promote insulin sensitivity and a positive blood lipid profile. Visceral adiposity reduces adiponectin concentrations. Lowering the adiponectin concentrations lessens the cardio protective effect, leading to increased cardiovascular risk. You may have realized that in this discussion of cellular body inflammation and how it causes obesity, a lot of medical terminologies are applied which may not make sense to many lay people. In appreciating that fact and to help you take good precautions about obesity and overweight, we want to encourage you to schedule an appointment with doctor Dalal Akoury not for a one on one simplicity discussions that will address all your concerns and have then addressed professionally.
