Doctors advise: itchy eyes caused by allergies, mostly conjunctival

Most of eye itching and eye conjunctiva, eyelid skin allergies, but sometimes less conjunctival hyperemia, if diagnosed as “allergic conjunctivitis”, lack many of the necessary basis, and so are in the habit of general practitioners diagnosed with “chronic conjunctivitis” in order to that the process is longer, often repeated characteristics, although there is no textbook on this diagnostic term, but I also agree with this diagnosis. In recent years, due to air pollution and other reasons, the composition of the air penetrate more and more, some exposure to the substance of our eyes, resulting in the increasing incidence of this type of conjunctivitis high.

As for how to treat, as with allergies, of course, first you should find the allergen, and then avoid contact with allergens, in order to achieve “cure” purposes. As a daily contact with too many things, but these things is very complex composition, exposure to air only on the number of components, they are often difficult to find allergens. Thus, we often can only be “temporary”, that is controlled with medication to treat allergy symptoms, but all this treatment even relieve symptoms such as redness, itching, etc., if the patient re-exposure to allergens, in turn a “allergic conjunctivitis, “which is the disease of chronic, recurrent causes. This commonly used drugs naphthalene Min Wei, Naphazoline eye drops, olopatadine and so on. Symptoms are very severe cases; doctors need guidance in the use of other drugs.

Study found that: Women suffering from depression easier to stroke.

From the United States’ science of life “website published the results of a recent study that women with depression will increase the risk of stroke. The object of study and the risk of depression in six years time the likelihood of stroke 29% higher than the average person. Study said, women taking antidepressants – especially SSRI increased risk of stroke by 39%. This does not mean taking antidepressant drugs increase the risk of stroke, but generally refers to people taking antidepressants, depression will be more severe. So Bulai Han and Women’s Hospital Boston, Associate Professor, a member of the study, Dr. Kathryn Rexrod explained: “We do not misunderstand; take to reduce the risk of stroke withdrawal.”

In this study, 2000 to 2006 in six years, researchers tracked 80,574 54-79 years old with no history of stroke in women. Start of the study, 22% of subjects suffering from depression, 1033 cases in the next six years suffering from stroke. And no history of depression than women, women suffering from depression single, smoke, do not love sports a higher proportion of the age more generally slightly smaller, higher body mass index, more complications, such as hypertension, heart disease , diabetes.

Dr. Rexrode said: “The depression will prevent other diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure, hinder normal medication, to prevent the implementation of healthy habits, such as sports.” An Pan Harvard Medical School researcher, said depression can also cause physical other inflammation, increase the risk of stroke and other diseases, and even increase cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Expert analysis of blood glucose day with two peaks

If a diabetic will be their day of blood glucose levels at different time points together into a line, he may find two distinct peaks. The first three or four points from early morning start, and gradually rising to seven or eight o’clock the morning to reach the peak, a phenomenon known as the “dawn phenomenon.” The second peak appeared in the afternoon, some experts called the “twilight phenomenon.”

In fact, healthy people also have a day of fluctuating blood sugar levels, but the rate will not be so big, will remain in the normal range. And diabetes due to basal insulin secretion, reduced or even disappear, it is easy to be two in the morning and afternoon peak above the normal.

Cause “dawn phenomenon” may be due to different. The first is that sugar is not enough doses the night before friends, or taking time early. Another might be “HE Jie reaction” caused. It refers to the night before hypoglycemia, the machine automatically understand the “open” glycolic mechanism to help the body through this dangerous period, resulting in elevated blood sugar. It is often caused by drug overdose. Therefore, the early morning high blood sugar occurs when the patient must not be allowed to adjust medication.
