Oxygen therapy for COPD is more than 60-70 years old. In this long period, a vast amount of knowledge has been gained of the advantages and dangers of the same. Newer ideas, experiments, and their evaluation is part of any scientific endeavor and oxygen therapy is the newest technique that aims at giving air enriched with oxygen to breath. One type is exertion induced COPD. Oxygen enriched air is to be breathed in only during the exercise. This is seen to increase endurance and efficacy of exercise. This helps patients to maintain or even improve their physical fitness improving the COPD also. The real need of long-term oxygen therapy is for those suffering chronic oxygen deficiency in their blood. The condition is called chronic hypoxemia or hypoxia. Long-term oxygen treatment will improve the quality of life and also lifespan. One suffers less shortness of breath. It slows or even prevents Right Sided Heart Failure, which is the normal consequence of COPD. Oxygen therapy for chronic COPD is resorted to after normal medical treatments for COPD have ceased to benefit the patient. There are different ways to introduce the oxygen. Oxygen concentrators, liquid oxygen devices and the more conventional oxygen cylinders can all be used to augment the oxygen into the air that is breathed. However, people who use oxygen therapy at home should be well aware of the dangers of oxygen. Even air enriched to seemingly low levels of 28% can cause conflagrations of unbelievable intensity. Any fuel will spontaneously catch fire in air that is of this level of enrichment. Portable systems even suitable for air travel are also available. Studies have shown that long term oxygen therapy (LTOT) improves one's life quality as well as lifespan. Patients need to breath the enriched air for at least 15 hours a day with as less interruptions as possible, and preferably continuously. The oxygen level in the blood is to be maintained in a narrow band of 88% to 92% saturation (titrated flow) against normal levels of 94% to 98%. To overcome the dangers of hypoxemia, the best thing to do is to use the pulse oximetry set to titrate oxygen delivery to achieve 88-92% saturation, a venturi mask' (or an air-entrainment mask) setting oxygen concentration to 25% to 28% concentration or in the absence of any of the above, a flow rate of oxygen by nasal prongs or catheter can be set 2 to 3 L/min. Modern research has shown better efficacy of delivering bronchodilator with a flow rate of 6L/min in acute exacerbation of COPD. The medical personnel should monitor the patient for complications of hypoxemia like carbon dioxide retention.

Mental illness can be of many forms and can be quite challenging to the person suffering as well as for the medical specialists treating them.

Doctors across the globe unanimously agree that the treatment works the most when the patient is aware that he/she has the condition and works towards getting rid of it.

Lymphoma cancer is detected in the lymphatic system, which comprises the bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, stomach, intestines, and skin. The disease is marked by abnormal growth of white blood cells. More than half a million new lymphoma cases are diagnosed in the country every year. Since lymph tissues are spread throughout the body, lymphoma can start almost anywhere. Here are some common early signs of the disease to look out for. Types of lymphoma The disease can be classified into over 70 types based on cancer growth, aggression, and symptoms. The disease originates in white blood cells called B lymphocytes (B cells) and T lymphocytes (T cells) found in the bone marrow. Broadly, lymphoma is divided into two types: Non-Hodgkin lymphoma It begins in the lymphatic system and is marked by abnormal white blood cell growth that forms tumors throughout one's body. Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is more common in older adults. Hodgkin lymphoma Hodgkin lymphoma usually begins in B cells and is comparatively easier to cure at an early stage. It can affect both kids and adults at any point. Several treatments are available for the disease, from chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, to stem cell transplantation. A patient's recovery depends on the type and stage of their cancer. What are the early signs of lymphoma? Enlargement of lymph nodes is usually the first sign of lymphoma and can feel or appear like lumps under one's skin. These bumps are usually painless but can be itchy, red, or purple. They can appear around one's armpits, above the collarbone, groin area, or on the side of the neck. Additionally, depending on the location of the lymphoma, one can look for the following early signs of the disease. Enlargement of lymph nodes Abdominal pain or swelling due to fluid buildup or spleen or liver enlargement Nausea or vomiting Loss of muscle or body mass Chills Breathing difficulties Easy bruising Inexplicable or chronic fatigue Chest pain Coughing Recurring infections Loss of appetite or feeling full without eating much Apart from these, non-Hodgkin lymphoma patients can also exhibit the following symptoms: Frequently running a temperature without any infection Sudden night sweats Unintentional loss in body mass, approximately 10% over six months Certain infections can also result in enlarged lymph nodes. Thus, having swollen lymph nodes does not automatically indicate cancer. Therefore, regular full-body health examinations and doctor consultations can help one to determine if they have lymphoma or are at risk of the condition.
