Answer:
The essential trombocitemia is a disorder characterized by increase of the number of thrombocytes, hiperplasiamegacariocítica and hemorrhagic tendency or trombótica. It usually appears between the 50 and 70 years and affects with equal frequency men and women.
In aged patients with degenerative vascular illness, the increase of the number of thrombocytes can unleash hemorrhages or serious thromboses.
The indications of the treatment of the essential trombocitemia are vague, although inventories plaquetarios superior to the million and in those with hemorrhagic complications or trombóticas most of the authors think that the definitive treatment is indicated.
The treatment is realized by a medicine, the hidroxiurea to dose of 10-15 mg / kg / day. Also the employment of radioactive phosphate has been used successfully. The target of the treatment is to obtain numbers lower than 600.000 thrombocytes without significant clinical toxicity and without affecting to the rest of fundamental elements (red blood corpuscles and leukocytes).

I am pregnant of 5 months and have a few very annoying ardors of stomach, which almost they prevent me from eating. I take cold milk to sorbitos and it relieves me a little, although not the sufficient thing. is there any antacid that could take? Thank you very much
Answer:
The acidity of stomach or acidic regurgitation happens when the food contained in the stomach, is impelled towards the esophagus together with the acidic secretion. The changes that happen in his organism during the pregnancy favor this situation. The digestion is slower, the food takes more time in going on to the intestine and the valve that blocks the way of the content of the stomach to the esophagus it relaxes with more facility. Also, since the womb increases progressively of size, the stomach changes position. To try to avoid the stomach acidity the following measurements him can be useful:
It must realize more frequent meals (from 5 to 6 a day), but taking only one small food quantity in every occasion.
He must avoid the fried food and those that form gas, the spices and fats, the alcoholic beverages, the drinks with gas, the coffee and the tobacco.
It is advisable to rest a little bit after every meal in semiseated position and to have dinner at least two hours before getting into the bed.
If with these measurements the problem is not controlled it will have to take an antacid. Although there are sure antacids during the pregnancy, it must consult with his gynecologist which debit to take, since all the medications that it completes must be known and prescribed by him.

Specific immune defender and unspecific immune defender.
Answer:
The unspecific defenses are the skin, the mucous membranes, the secretions of the mucous membranes, the cílios, the acidic Ph of certain secretions, the saliva with the lisozima, etc, the leukocytes (white globules) are even considered in this group. These defenses operate all of them against all kinds of exogenous invasion, and each of them is not specific against every external agent.
The specific ones are the Antibodies and the immune cells type lymphocytes. The antibodies have a completion that is called idiotipo and that they are specific of every exogenous agent, Some will act against the pneumococcus and others against the meningococo.
It is as it that there is had immune memory, that is when it has been contacted previously with the same bacterium, virus, etc... and we have antibodies with idiotipos specifics against this bacterium or virus. The vaccines act forming specific antibodies in the idiotipo against every exogenous agent. There are antibodies against the staphylococcus, others against the gonococos, etc...
The lymphocytes act for a recognition mecansimoallotípico, that is a species recognition. This is, they will differ between every individual of a species. For it a body does not accept an organ (kidney, heart, etc...) of another person, it pushes it back. This immunity defends us from (cancerous) tumor cells that the body does not recognize how proper, and of viruses, which alter proper cells and they turn them into outsiders. A greeting
