Sam girds himself for the hot dog eating contest by savoring the mingled and heady aromas of pork and beef eyelids and sphincters.

This (legless) lizard we met on a walk on the 1st of September. It was quite late in the afternoon (around 17.00) and it was lying in the shadow. Since it was in the middle of the road - they often are, basking in the sun - we touched it to make it move. It was quite unwilling, not anything to be surprised about since it was chilly outdoors and cold reptiles are slow reptiles. Finally it moved away - we could almost hear it mutter nasty things about pesky humans (and dogs)... ;)

Since they (and other reptiles) love to take a nice sunbath on roads, they often get run over.

 

Were I live they are quite common and always a nice acquaintance,but don't lift it or handle it more than you have to (we just gently poked it and just a little and slowly). Many lizards can loose their tails to confuse predators and this is one of them. The tail continues to move and can lure a predator away from the lizard. A loss of the tail by humans poking around means a loss of resources (like fatty deposits in the tail) and the ability to loose the tail for quite a while when it might need to for 'real' reasons. Oh, and they might 'pee' on you. Slow worms are carnivores and eat worms and insects amongst other things. I used to keep a piece of corrugated metal, for them to lie under, in my garden. Slow worms are great for eating slugs and other pests. At the moment one of my dogs, Singa, is a bit to 'bouncy'. They would be crushed ;).

 

Most slow worms I find are around 30 cm long but I've found both smaller and bigger. The smallest were some new born babies only 3-4 cm long (they give birth to small snakes and do not lay eggs).

 

From Wikipedia:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anguis_fragilis

Autotomy or self amputation is the act whereby an animal severs one of its own appendages, usually as a self-defense mechanism designed to elude a predator's grasp. Geckos, skinks and other lizards that are captured by the tail will shed part of the tail structure and thus be able to flee. The detached tail will continue to wriggle, creating a deceptive sense of continued struggle and attracting the predator's attention away from the fleeing prey animal. The animal can partially regenerate its tail over a period of weeks. The new section will contain cartilage rather than bone and the skin will have different coloration, typically darker and with little or no pattern.

 

Autotomy in lizards is enabled by special zones of weakness at regular intervals in the vertebrae below the vent. Essentially, the lizard contracts a muscle to fracture the vertebra itself rather than break the tail between two vertebrae. Sphincter muscles in the tail then contract around the caudal artery to minimize bleeding.

Then I thought to spare everybody the image by calling it "Vortex."

 

But that seemed too tame.

What are hemorrhoids?

 

Hemorrhoids refer to swollen veins that surround the lower rectum and anus, which can become inflamed and bulge.

 

The two primary types of hemorrhoids are

 

internal and external hemorrhoids. Internal hemorrhoids occur in the small arterial branches inside the rectum, and although they may bleed, they are typically not visible or felt. External hemorrhoids develop in the veins beneath the skin around the anal opening and can also bleed. However, due to the abundance of nerves in this area, they can cause discomfort.

 

Chronic hemorrhoids are often associated with various conditions, including prolapsed hemorrhoids, which are internal hemorrhoids that grow larger and protrude outside the anal sphincter. A strangulated hemorrhoid is a prolapsed hemorrhoid with its blood supply cut off by the muscles around the anus. A thrombosed hemorrhoid refers to a clot (thrombus) that forms when blood pools in an external hemorrhoid.

 

It is estimated by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney DiseasesTrusted Source that hemorrhoids affect approximately 5% of Americans and about 50% of adults over 50 years of age. Therefore, if you have hemorrhoids, you are not alone.

   

Transforming your world, one habit at a time: Embracing Lifestyle Changes and Self-Care.

  

If you have been diagnosed with chronic hemorrhoids, your doctor may suggest the following lifestyle changes as a treatment:

 

Adding more high-fiber foods to your diet

  

Drinking sufficient amount of water and taking in healthy drinks.

  

Limiting the amount of time you spend sitting on the toilet

  

Avoiding straining during bowel movements

  

Avoiding heavy lifting

  

Your doctor may suggest additional measures or medications to include in your self-treatment routine. Some of these recommendations may include:

 

Over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil), acetaminophen (Tylenol), naproxen (Aleve), or aspirin

Topical treatments available over-the-counter, like a cream containing hydrocortisone or a numbing agent pad or witch hazel

Stool softeners or fiber supplements like methylcellulose (Citrucel) or psyllium (Metamucil)

Sitz baths

  

MEDICAL TREATMENTS:

 

In case self-care measures fail to alleviate your symptoms, your physician may suggest a range of medical treatments to address your condition.

 

In-office procedures-

Here are some suggested rewrites of the given content in the same format:

 

Rubber Band Ligation: Hemorrhoid banding, also known as rubber band ligation, is a procedure that's primarily used for prolapsing or bleeding hemorrhoids. Your doctor will place a special rubber band around the base of the hemorrhoid, which will cut off its blood supply. Within about a week, the banded section will shrink and eventually fall off.

 

Electrocoagulation: A special tool is used in electrocoagulation to deliver an electric current that shrinks a hemorrhoid by cutting off its blood supply. This procedure is commonly used for internal hemorrhoids.

 

Infrared Photocoagulation: Infrared photocoagulation is another procedure used to shrink hemorrhoids by cutting off their blood supply. Your doctor will use a tool that delivers infrared light to the hemorrhoid. This procedure is typically used for internal hemorrhoids.

 

Sclerotherapy: Sclerotherapy is a procedure in which a solution is injected into the hemorrhoid to shrink it by cutting off its blood supply. This treatment is usually reserved for internal hemorrhoids.

Acid reflux disease can be very disruptive to your life. Keep reading to find out more about this condition and its symptoms. When you know more about it, it can be better controlled so that you can take back your life.

 

You need to stop smoking! Acid reflux disease could be caused or worsened using cigarettes or cigars. It decreases your digestive process, increases stomach acid, and decreases your saliva production. It can weaken your esophagus' sphincter too. This is why why you need to quit immediately.

 

Many women that are pregnant suffer from acid reflux disease. As the baby grows, it crowds the stomach. This could cause stomach acids to backup in to the esophagus. A diet plan of low-fat, low-acid foods helps you to prevent this. Alternatively, you can consider some teas that soothe your esophagus whilst keeping stomach acids down without harming your child.

 

Smoking causes acid reflux disease, if you have this issue and you also smoke you might be well advised to avoid. Nicotine facilitates producing stomach acid, increasing occurrences of acid reflux disease. You should quit at the own pace rather than quitting cold turkey and taking the potential risk of upsetting your stomach much more. Try to quit gradually.

 

Reduce acid reflux disease by attaining and looking after an effective weight. Obesity is really a leading reason for this problem. Losing just 10 % of methods much you weigh is able to reduce the appearance of acid reflux disease. Shed weight when you eat several smaller meals. Avoid crash dieting.

 

Exactly what do you consume? How do you feel afterward? Trigger foods are typical, and they could be at fault. Whenever you determine what yours are, you need to avoid these types of food within the evenings.

 

Chew cinnamon gum after meals. Saliva production is increased whenever you chew. Saliva helps you to neutralize the acid from the stomach. Also, when bubble gum, more swallowing occurs, making acid return back down from your stomach towards the esophagus. Fruit-flavored gum will achieve this too. You must not chew on mint gum because mint causes your esophageal sphincter to unwind, worsening your acid reflux disease.

 

Acid reflux disease gets in the form of sleeping, working, eating and general living. There is not any need to be affected by this problem. Use the information out of this article to prevent acid reflux disease before you decide to take a seat for your upcoming meal. You'll enjoy more whenever you learn which you don't need to suffer anymore. on-sitesecuritydoors.com/

Jenna said this is a girl cow because, "it has boobies". Yes it does. That sphincter also reminds me of the bullshit I've been reading here.

When you hit something this hard and it still charges forward, there's this split second moment where your sphincter puckers up very tightly.

Robert Starr built the Bumble Bee to become the smallest aircraft to fly with a person in it. He built it in 1984 and flew it in Marana Arizona to earn the Guinness World Record. It still holds the record as the smallest biplane to achieve manned flight. Wingspan is 6 ft 6 inches, length is 9 ft 4 inches and it uses a Continental 85 HP engine up front. In 1990 the Bumble Bee was donated to the excellent Pima Air and Space Museum where it is viewed by many who disbelieve that it actually flew. The fact is, it did fly. It must have an incredible roll rate and no doubt be a challenge to fly. It would give one's sphincter a good workout.

Many thanks to Doctor Pugh and all the staff at the Nuffield Hospital, Taunton, for looking after me today.

 

Somebody said "What a load of tripe". An ex-friend.

  

200 Miles after getting this tire and 7 other replaced, I had a spectacular blowout on I-80 at 60 mph. Sounded like a hand grenade going off. After pulling the upholstery outta my sphincter, I called it in and it was replaced after 2 hours.

Laser Surgery for Fistula-in-Ano

 

Today the most successful laser surgery for fistula-in-ano is the one termed as Fistula Laser Closure (FiLaC)

What is FiLaC and why FiLac laser surgery for fistulas?

 

FiLaC is a minimally invasive laser technique required to treat anal fistulas, as most anal fistulas do not heal easily by themselves. FiLaC treats the anal fistula without causing damage to the sphincter muscles, the ring of muscles that open and close the anus. Any damage can result in loss of bowel control or what is known as bowel incontinence. The surgery is performed under local anesthesia and is a day procedure not requiring overnight stay in the hospital. This technique highly reduces the rate of recurrence of the fistula.

 

The FiLaC laser therapy uses a flexible laser fiber that is introduced directly into the fistula tract and the fistula tissue is given radiation from the inside. The radiation gently destroys the inflamed glandular tissue. The laser probe is then slowly pulled out while the fistula is being closed. The fistula tract collapses within and does not require external removal during the surgery. The treatment is almost painless and...Read More: www.mumbaipilesclinic.com/blogs/read/laser-surgery-for-fi...

Few situations are more fun in everyday life when compared to a great meal, but should you suffer from heart burn and acid reflux disease, you don't have much to anticipate. This short article will show you how you can eat with full confidence once more. Stick to the tips presented here to enable you to enjoy eating well!

 

Eat dinner no less than three hours before going to bed. Inside a seated position, food and secreted stomach acid needs downward to your stomach. Lying inside a prone position allows acid traveling upwards. So that you should remain active and upright for a few hours before you decide to hit the sack during the night.

 

You reduce the chances of you experiencing GERD in the event you keep a normal weight. In case you are overweight, your sphincter allows acid in your esophagus. When you shed weight and trim up, you'll find your sphincter tightens and keeps acid where it belongs.

 

Women that are pregnant can also be susceptible to acid reflux disease too. An increasing child puts pressure around the stomach, which could push the acids from the stomach in to the windpipe. A diet plan of low-fat, low-acid foods helps you to prevent this. A lady should watch how she handles acid reflux disease symptoms when pregnant and consult their doctor.

 

Its smart to stay within an upright position for around a couple of hours after a meal. A reclining position causes you to prone to reflux since it becomes simpler for your stomach acid traveling upward in your esophagus. You will definitely get relief in your esophagus in the event you sit or stand.

 

If you are done eating, pop some cinnamon gum in your mouth. Chewing promotes saliva production. Saliva helps you to neutralize the acid from the stomach. Additionally, the ceaseless swallowing during gum chewing will assist you to remove the esophagus of lingering acid. In the event you don't like cinnamon, you may use fruit-flavored gums. Gum containing mint will not be a brilliant idea. Mint relaxes the esophageal sphincter and worsens acid reflux disease.

 

Pop a lozenge made out of slippery elm. Slippery elm bark produces a protective layer in your stomach, helping your digestive tract. It will help to minimize the discomfort of the a sore throat and reduces coughing when consumed the lozenge form. You will find them at many nutrition stores.

 

Eating meals could be under enjoyable once you know acid reflux disease is originating. Stick to the tips presented here to cope with acid reflux disease and heartburn effectively. This method for you to actually anticipate meals.

These are quite rare now. MTV pulled the license on them almost as soon as they were released so all packages in the stores were pulled from the shelves meaning they went only to the quick and decisive (or lucky). Found 'em in a box that was packed up for a move and then stored for several years. Bought for a gift so were unused. Lots of fun to post on the refrigerator or metal door, file cabinets, etc.

We had waited for an hour or more at the Telia lake for a sighting of the tiger & were shooting birds and landscapes. A little disappointed, we started to go to another location on the narrow, single lane, dirt road.

    

And suddenly, she royally emerged from around the corner. We could just gasp, as we were within her easiest of charge range. Our gypsy screeched to a halt, as she kept slowly coming at us. The driver reversed quickly for a cricket pitch length, but she languorously ambled in, not very unlike Mohinder Amarnath's bowling runup. We clicked a few & again retreated. This went on for four times. Our hands shook a bit, shutter speeds who cared, good composition rules went out of the ears. This carnivore supreme, was closing in with every powerful paw she put forward. She eyed six days of delicious human protein feed in the open Gypsy & licked her lips. What do you mean - Scary!!?? We were thankful that our sphincter muscles remained shut! Phew! :-)

my friend's english project haha

Sunday 21st Oct 2012 was a big day on the water at Milang, even though the official wind readings at Goolwa only said a peak of 22 knots it was solid wind in fair chop with a sphincter tightening reach on each lap of the two races that felt much higher than the official readings.

The committee of Milang Regatta Club decided to cancel sailing due to only four boats confirming they were coming the week before so the core racers that always turn up at Milang decided to race anyway. Paul came from Adelaide with his A Class, Mick from Milang with his Taipan 5.7, Hugh from Milang with his new to him Mozzy and we travelled from Kingston SE with the Nacra 5.8. We didn’t have a rescue boat so set a course close to shore and organised to watch each other, we then carried out two 20 litre drums with rope and weights on our catamarans to use as marks and used the channel marker as our top mark, Paul set the bottom mark east of the club along the shore and I set the reach mark, I probably set it too long because it made it a long hairy reach to the mark and then a pretty hot run to the bottom mark (never let a Nacra sailor set the reach mark), whereas Paul got his mark just right for a beat up wind. Hugh elected to practice on his Mozzy on the race course while we raced so he was still sailing with us.

We did a beach start in both races which gave Mick and myself a good advantage over Paul as our crew could set rudders etc while Paul calmly set his boat in some pretty good wind then hunted us down, the reach was a bit worrying at times when I had max downhaul, the traveller right out, two on the wire, let the main off and we were still skipping over waves flying a hull way more than I was trying to. We knew it was windy when on some of the reach laps we all sat in and luffed the cats down at a cracking pace. Liz and I won the first two lap race with Paul nearly catching us right on the line after giving us a big lead at the start and Mick close behind, the whole race was over in 16 minutes we couldn’t believe it was so fast so we set a three lap race with another beach start, this time Mick got off like a cut cat and built a big lead that he held for a fair while before he made an error on a tack near the top mark we luffed our way down the reach in heavy air while Mick got fired up with them both on the wire and came screaming up on us with an oh shit look on his face the whole way, meanwhile Paul was steadily hunting us down he got the lead with a lap to go and won by a fair margin, we were second just in front of Mick.

It was a really exciting days sailing with a great social time before and after the race, a couple of other sailors turned up as we were packing up and indicated they would have bought their boats if they knew we were there. Total race time for the day was only fourty minutes but we were exhausted so everyone was happy to pack up instead of doing the extra couple of races we were planning to do. It may have only been fourty minutes but we travelled a fair distance in that time.

We have decided as a group that when the threshold is too low for Milang to open it’s club room we will still race on the day, we will be doing it how sailing used to happen drop some marks out , watch each other, food, drink from the shop hot shower and toilet at the park so if you get the message that Milang is not hosting sailing contact Mick, Paul or Myself and we will confirm what’s happening.

Why do the Swiss hate London? I don't know. I do know that the jerks from Swiss Re, insurance weasels, built this gawdawful gherkin in the middle of this beautiful city. Many folks, at least the polite ones call this piece of crap "The Gherkin" or 30 St Mary Axe, most of us think it looks like a big glass dildo. It's ugly, and I hope it's torn down ASAP. I hope an English Insurance company builds a sphincter arch is Lucerne some time soon. OK don't blame the Swiss, they just paid for this eyesore it was designed by Foster + Partners.

  

Tonight I had the opportunity to talk with the neighbor who fed these three precious felines while they lived on the abandoned farm. She said Diamond suddenly stopped raising her tail about a month and a half ago. She had been completely normal prior to that time. No idea what terrible thing happened to her. Poor, dear beauty. And yet, on some level, that's actually good news. Why? Maximal healing happens by around six months. That means that Diamond will likely continue to recover more and more sensation and function. She can lift her tail some, and I do think she has some degree of sensation in it. I am so grateful that her anal sphincter works normally, and there's no bladder issues. Diamond runs and plays without a care in the world. But I watch and worry about her. Truth be told, other than arthritic pain, I don't think her sacrovertebral fracture will have any real significant in her life. Other than it makes her "less adoptable." But I'm sure someone will fall in love with her. . .

Are you experiencing pain with your chest? Sometimes you may feel it more when resting? Will you notice it after food? Are you experiencing that bitter taste inside of your mouth? Sometimes you may feel the desire to keep cough drops around at all times? These are typically signs that you may have could possibly have acid reflux disorder. The next article gives you relief.

 

Buy your fluid intake between meals as an alternative to when you are eating. This will aid with hunger pangs since you're prone to experience thirst than hunger. Additionally, you can help you to minimize the level of acid that may be produced.

 

You will be far less more likely to have acid reflux disorder when you are on your recommended weight. Your esophageal sphincter relaxes whenever excess extra fat accumulates, especially in your midsection. You need your sphincter in becoming tight if you would like stop the acid from developing shedding weight will assist.

 

To fall asleep well, think of propping your face by using a mattress wedge. Everything that is sturdy enough to elevate the mattress is proper. By way of example, you could possibly work with a block of wood or possibly a few books. Electronic beds that may enhance the upper area of the bed are available too.

 

You can find acid reflux disorder from various foods. You must avoid fat and greasy foods, tomatoes, chocolate, coffee and alcohol. Additionally, citrus fruit, tomatoes and also other foods by using a advanced level of acidity might cause problems. Everybody has their own personal list, so you will need to evaluate which most bothers you at mealtime. If you would like err along the side of caution, simply keep away from everything in the list above.

 

Try limiting stress triggers from relationships, school, work, or personal issues. Stress can be a leading source of excessive stomach acid production, that may cause acid reflux disorder. Discover the reason behind your anxiety and remove it in your life.

 

Lose a few pounds. More weight can greatly improve the frequency of acid reflux disorder attacks. Extra pressure in your stomach by stored fat will make it much more likely to reflux. Just losing a little bit weight will have a big impact.

 

No, don't worry you aren't experiencing difficulity with the heart. Also, it is unlikely that you may have a head cold, along with the food probably isn't bad. You need to do know you are affected by acid reflux disorder, but as you now have check this out article, you additionally realize how to address it. Apply these changes, and you'll feel good quickly. www.atlantisfurniture.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&...

Le Pétomane (play /ləˈpɛtəmeɪn/, French pronunciation: [ləpetɔˈman]) was the stage name of the French flatulist (professional farter) and entertainer Joseph Pujol (June 1, 1857–1945). He was famous for his remarkable control of the abdominal muscles, which enabled him to fart at will. His stage name combines the French verb péter, "to fart" with the -mane, "-maniac" suffix, which translates to "fartomaniac". The profession is also referred to as "flatulist", "farteur", or "fartiste".[1]

 

It is a common misconception to state that Joseph Pujol actually farted as part of his stage performance. Farting implies the release through the anus of intestinal gases. Pujol was "gifted" in the sense that he was able to inhale air into his rectum and then control the release of that air using his sphincter muscles (avoiding any associated odour). Evidence of his ability to control those muscles can be seen in the early accounts of demonstrations of his abilities to fellow soldiers.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Albinism (from Latin albus, "white"; see extended etymology, also called achromia, achromasia, or achromatosis) is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes due to absence or defect of tyrosinase, a copper-containing enzyme involved in the production of melanin. Albinism results from inheritance of recessive gene alleles and is known to affect all vertebrates, including humans. While an organism with complete absence of melanin is called an albino (pron.: /ælˈbaɪnoʊ/ American English,[1] or /ælˈbiːnoʊ/ British English)[2] an organism with only a diminished amount of melanin is described as albinoid.[3]

Albinism is associated with a number of vision defects, such as photophobia, nystagmus and astigmatism. Lack of skin pigmentation makes for more susceptibility to sunburn and skin cancers. In rare cases such as Chédiak–Higashi syndrome, albinism may be associated with deficiencies in the transportation of melanin granules. This also affects essential granules present in immune cells leading to increased susceptibility to infection.[4]

 

Signs and symptoms

  

In humans, there are two principal types of albinism, oculocutaneous, affecting the eyes, skin and hair, and ocular affecting the eyes only.

Most oculocutaenous albinistic humans appear white or very pale as the melanin pigments responsible for brown, black, and some yellow colorations are not present. Ocular albinism results in pale blue eyes, and may require genetic testing to diagnose.

Because individuals with albinism have skin that entirely lacks the dark pigment melanin, which helps protect the skin from the sun's ultraviolet radiation, their skin can burn more easily from overexposure.[5]

The human eye normally produces enough pigment to color the iris blue, green or brown and lend opacity to the eye. However, there are cases in which the eyes of an albinistic person appear red, pink or purple, depending on the amount of pigment present, due to the red of retina being visible through the iris. Lack of pigment in the eyes also results in problems with vision, both related and unrelated to photosensitivity.

The albinistic are generally as healthy as the rest of the population (but see related disorders below), with growth and development occurring as normal, and albinism by itself does not cause mortality,[6] although the lack of pigment blocking ultraviolet radiation increases the risk of skin cancer and other problems.

[edit]Visual problems

 

Development of the optical system is highly dependent on the presence of melanin, and the reduction or absence of this pigment in albinistic individuals may lead to

Misrouting of the retinogeniculate projections, resulting in abnormal decussation (crossing) of optic nerve fibres[5]

Photophobia and decreased visual acuity due to light scattering within the eye (ocular straylight)[5][7]

Reduced visual acuity due to foveal hypoplasia and possibly light-induced retinal damage[5]

Eye conditions common in albinism include:

Nystagmus, irregular rapid movement of the eyes back and forth, or in circular motion.[5]

Astigmatism, irregular shaped cornea requiring additional cylindrical corrective lenses in spectacles.[8]

Amblyopia, decrease in acuity of one or both eyes due to poor transmission to the brain, often due to other conditions such as strabismus.[5]

Optic nerve hypoplasia, underdevelopment of the optic nerve

Some of the visual problems associated with albinism arise from a poorly developed retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) due to the lack of melanin.[citation needed] This degenerate RPE causes foveal hypoplasia (a failure in the development of normal foveae), which results in eccentric fixation and lower visual acuity, and often a minor level of strabismus.

The iris is a sphincter formed from pigmented tissue that contracts when the eye is exposed to bright light, to protect the retina by limiting the amount of light passing through the pupil. In low light conditions the iris relaxes to allow more light to enter the eye. In albinistic subjects, the iris does not have enough pigment to block the light, thus the decrease in pupil diameter is only partially successful in reducing the amount of light entering the eye.[citation needed] Additionally, the improper development of the RPE, which in normal eyes absorbs most of the reflected sunlight, further increases glare due to light scattering within the eye.[9] The resulting sensitivity (photophobia) generally leads to discomfort in bright light, but this can be reduced by the use of sunglasses and/or brimmed hats.[10]

[edit]Genetics

 

Most forms of albinism are the result of the biological inheritance of genetically recessive alleles (genes) passed from both parents of an individual, though some rare forms are inherited from only one parent. There are other genetic mutations which are proven to be associated with albinism. All alterations, however, lead to changes in melanin production in the body.[6][11]

The chance of offspring with albinism resulting from the pairing of an organism with albinism and one without albinism is low. However, because organisms can be carriers of genes for albinism without exhibiting any traits, albinistic offspring can be produced by two non-albinistic parents. Albinism usually occurs with equal frequency in both sexes.[6] An exception to this is ocular albinism, which it is passed on to offspring through X-linked inheritance. Thus, ocular albinism occurs more frequently in males as they have a single X and Y chromosome, unlike females, whose genetics are characterized by two X chromosomes.[12]

There are two different forms of albinism: a partial lack of the melanin is known as hypomelanism, or hypomelanosis and the total absence of melanin is known as amelanism or amelanosis.

Genetic testing can confirm albinism and what variety it is, but offers no medical benefits except in the cases of non-OCA disorders (see below) that cause albinism along with other medical problems which may be treatable. The symptoms of albinism can be treated by various methods detailed below.

[edit]Treatment

 

For the most part, treatment of the eye conditions consists of visual rehabilitation. Surgery is possible on the ocular muscles to decrease nystagmus, strabismus and common refractive errors like astigmatism.[5] Nystagmus-damping surgery can also be performed, to reduce the "shaking" of the eyes back and forth.[13] The effectiveness of all these procedures varies greatly and depends on individual circumstances.

Glasses and other vision aids, large-print materials as well as bright but angled reading lights, can help individuals with albinism, even though their vision cannot be corrected completely. Some people with albinism do well using bifocals (with a strong reading lens), prescription reading glasses, and/or hand-held devices such as magnifiers or monoculars.[10] Contact lenses may be colored to block light transmission through the iris. But in the case of nystagmus this is not possible, due to the irritation that is caused by the movement of the eyes. Some use bioptics, glasses which have small telescopes mounted on, in, or behind their regular lenses, so that they can look through either the regular lens or the telescope. Newer designs of bioptics use smaller light-weight lenses. Some US states allow the use of bioptic telescopes for driving motor vehicles. (See also NOAH bulletin "Low Vision Aids".)

[edit]Epidemiology

Albinism affects people of all ethnic backgrounds; its frequency worldwide is estimated to be approximately one in 17,000. Prevalence of the different forms of albinism varies considerably by population, and is highest overall in people of sub-Saharan African descent.[14]

[edit]Society and culture

 

Main articles: Persecution of people with albinism and Albinism in popular culture

In physical terms, humans with albinism commonly have visual problems and need sun protection. But they also face social and cultural challenges (even threats), as the condition is often a source of ridicule, discrimination, or even fear and violence. Cultures around the world have developed many beliefs regarding people with albinism.

In African countries such as Tanzania[15] and Burundi,[16][17] there has been an unprecedented rise in witchcraft-related killings of albino people in recent years, because their body parts are used in potions sold by witchdoctors. Numerous authenticated incidents have occurred in Africa during the 21st Century.[18][19][20][21] For example, in Tanzania, in September 2009, three men were convicted of killing a 14-year-old albino boy and severing his legs in order to sell them for witchcraft purposes.[22] Again in Tanzania and Burundi in 2010, the murder and dismemberment of a kidnapped albino child was reported from the courts,[16] as part of a continuing problem. National Geographic estimates that in Tanzania a complete set of albino body parts is worth $75,000.[1]

Another harmful and false belief is that sex with an albinistic woman will cure a man of HIV. This has led, for example in Zimbabwe, to rapes (and subsequent HIV infection).[23]

Certain ethnic groups and insular areas exhibit heightened susceptibility to albinism, presumably due to genetic factors. These include notably the Native American Kuna and Zuni nations (respectively of Panama and New Mexico); Japan, in which one particular form of albinism is unusually common; and Ukerewe Island, the population of which shows a very high incidence of albinism.[24]

Famous people with albinism include historical figures such as Oxford don William Archibald Spooner; actor-comedian Victor Varnado; musicians such as Johnny and Edgar Winter, Salif Keita, Winston "Yellowman" Foster, Brother Ali, Sivuca, Willie "Piano Red" Perryman; and fashion models Connie Chiu and Shaun Ross. Emperor Seinei of Japan is thought to have been an albino because he was said to have been born with white hair.

In my own excursion with hormonal awkwardness, I found that finding out about individual chemicals gave me the ability to all the more likely sort and articulated the manner in which I was feeling and the way that my sentiments emerged in my actual body and to me.

 

I knew solidly in my bones that the encounters I felt were situated at a junction of close to home and actual misery, yet I didn't have any idea what to do about them or where, exactly, they were coming from.

 

Here's only one illustration of how finding out about chemicals woke up: Ayurveda had instructed me that our periods are recurrent and represented by the different doshas at various places.

 

From a Western logical perspective, we see that the cyclic changes of chemicals, similar to estrogens and progesterone during the period, can upgrade the reaction to stretch, which brings about vulnerability to sensations of bitterness and nervousness.

Figuring out how to recognize the indications of normal estrogen strength assisted me with adjusting all the more profoundly to the time during the month to month cycle when I ought to focus closer on examples of vikriti causing this hormonal unevenness.

 

Survival Chemicals(Hormones)

In our day and age, stress is a plague. Specialists are recommending mental drugs, for example, antidepressants and hostile to nervousness meds at higher rates than at any other time, with 1 of every 6 individuals taking them. What's more, 1 of every 4 ladies presently takes a mental medicine contrasted with 1 out of 7 men. As per the World Wellbeing Association, melancholy is a main source of handicap around the world.

 

However stress is a pestilence, it is likewise a characteristic physiological reaction to a danger, which lights our battle flight-or-freeze reaction.

And while this thread of respect for the earth has survived and resurfaced in the awareness of many people today, as a species we have strayed far from it over time and environmental responsibility is still lacking on many fronts.

 

The battle flight-or-freeze response starts in the amygdala, with that piece of the mind indicating the body to set off an outpouring of chemicals including cortisol, adrenaline, and norepinephrine. Focus on your actual body and know about these signs that show expanded pressure:

 

Rapid breathing

Increased heartbeat

Hot flashes

Racing thoughts

Executing a pressure reaction is an indication of wellbeing — the body is showing its capacity to draw in battle flight-or-freeze, and this deep rooted endurance component of the sensory system is valuable. It empowered our predecessors to shield themselves from hunters, and it's the explanation we are alive today.

 

Balancing Hormones with Diet

Ayurveda gives us devices that can assist with building flexibility to the hormonal uneven characters we are so powerless to. The brain and body waver between two states, rest and review (parasympathetic) and survival (thoughtful), which we can compare to prakriti, our normal state, and vikriti, unevenness.

 

At the point when we move from prakriti to vikriti, from parasympathetic to thoughtful, the main thing that goes disconnected is processing. On the off chance that there is a tiger at the entryway, it doesn't make any difference what is for lunch.

 

Supporting agni, the stomach related fire, fortifies the correspondence between the body and brain through the intestinal sensory system.

 

To best help agni, Ayurveda proposes working with spices that ignite the stomach related fire (deepana) and spices that further develop processing (pachana) to lessen ama, or poisons, and safeguard the strength of agni.

    

3 Methods for supporting Agni

Take Simple Overview fluid concentrate, a superb tridoshic mix to assist with supporting agni.

Cook with ghee to help the admission of solid fats.

Follow dosha-appropriate diets, reduce intake of processed food, and change diets with the season.

Figuring out how to rehearse careful eating is the most strong practice for processing since Ayurveda instructs us that as we eat we take in the food we are eating, yet the feelings present also. Diminishing pressure during eating times is generally significant. Assuming you are focused on during your working day, have the littlest feast at lunch, and make breakfast the biggest dinner.

 

Changing your eating regimen is the initial step to changing your life since it requires an adjustment of the manner in which you view sustenance.

Building Emotional Resiliency

In least complex terms, mending the hormonal body can mean recuperating the profound body. Frequently our most normally experienced feelings are dread, outrage, or misery. We need imagination, blamelessness, and bliss, and we don't necessarily have any idea how to track down them.

 

Working in an integrative psychiatry facility in Los Angeles, I have discovered that mending the profound body isn't really about talking and handling injury, or about responsibility and disgrace. It is tied in with tracking down the weak pieces of us and coordinating them into ourselves. Being willing to take a gander at the spots that alarm us, and to inhale through the distress.

 

“The Buddha taught that we're not actually in control, which is a pretty scary idea. But when you let things be as they are, you will be a much happier, more balanced, compassionate person.”—Pema Chodron

 

The following are a couple of commonsense ways of directing pressure and backing your profound body.

 

Stress Simplicity is an even equation brimming with establishing adaptogenic spices for energy. It additionally advances chemical equilibrium and supports profound strength.

Bosom Care Demulcent, applied straightforwardly to the bosoms and underarms, upholds the progression of rasa. This can be a magnificent emollient to likewise apply to the low mid-region to assist with moving stagnation in the stomach related and regenerative frameworks.

Ladies' Help is a feeding recipe established in ashwagandha and shatavari that supports adjusted chemicals and an agreeable period.

Shatavari is useful for those with a more pitta-inclined hormonal unevenness.

At last, generally vital to ladies' chemical equilibrium is pranayama. From a reasonable stance, it brings the body into an unwinding reaction, or rest and summary, implying that it preserves energy as it eases back the pulse, increments digestive and glandular movement, and loosens up sphincter muscles in the gastrointestinal tract.4

 

This manual for pranayama is a useful asset.

 

Chemicals are the couriers conveying between the psyche and body. At the point when we delayed down to the point of becoming mindful of their messages, we can turn out to be profoundly sensitive to what it is we really want — and what we really want is much of the time surprisingly straightforward. Ayurveda can help us to keep our brains and bodies — and the chemicals that administer them — in balance.
