cancer in both lungs :: Article Creator The Mystery Rise Of Lung Cancer In Non-smokers The number of lung cancer cases in people who have never smoked is increasing. The disease is different from lung cancer caused by smoking, so what causes it? Martha first realised that something was wrong when her cough changed and the mucus in her airways became increasingly viscous. Her doctors put it down to a rare disorder she had that caused her lungs to become chronically inflamed. "No worry, it must be that," she was told. When she finally had an X-ray, a shadow was detected on her lung. "That set the ball rolling," Martha recalls. "First, a CT scan was done, then a bronchoscopy [a procedure that involves using a long tube to inspect the airways in a person's lungs] to take tissue samples." After the tumour was removed, about four months after she'd first reported symptoms to her GP, she received the ...

High Blood Pressure Two Unusual Signs That Can Appear On Your Face Health experts are urging people to be aware of two lesser-known signs on the face that could signal a serious health concern. It's estimated that one third of UK adults suffer from high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, which forces the heart to pump harder to circulate blood throughout the body. This condition is linked to a host of severe health issues including cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, strokes, heart failure, and heart attacks. Despite its prevalenc...

typical carcinoid tumor :: Article Creator What Are Lung Carcinoid Tumors? If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with carcinoid tumors in the lung, you may wonder what they are and how they're different from other types of lung cancer. Carcinoid tumors are a rare type of lung cancer. Only 1% to 2% of lung cancers are carcinoid tumors. They usually grow slowly. They are a type of neuroendocrine tumor, meaning that they start in special cells, called neuroendocrine cells, that are found in the lungs and throughout the body. It's important for you to know what kind of carcinoid tumor you have to get the best treatment. Carcinoid tumors are divided in two types: typical and atypical. Typical carcinoid tumors are the most common. About 9 out of 10 carcinoid tumors are called typical. They grow slowly, and they don't usually spread outside of the lungs. Atypical carcinoid tumors grow faster, and they're more likely to spr...

right ventricular heart failure :: Article Creator What Is Right-side Heart Failure? When your heart is strong, it pumps blood throughout your body. But when you have heart failure, the muscles in your heart walls slowly weaken. Once they're too weak, your heart can't pump the blood that your body needs. And heart failure is so common. It's one of the main reasons people age 65 and older are admitted to the hospital. It can happen on either the right or left side of your heart. But what difference does it make which side is affected? When your heart is working normally, it pumps oxygen-rich blood through your lungs and to the rest of your body. The left ventricle, or left chamber, of the heart provides most of the heart's pumping power. So when you have left-side heart failure, your heart can't pump enough blood to your body. The right ventricle, or right chamber, moves "used" blood from your heart back to your ...
