Addition of Disease Related Contents in Texila Digipedia

disease-texila-digipedia-comSummary: TAU has started this initiative where students can get valuable contents related to dangerous and communicable diseases through its digital library.

Texila American University (TAU) has been innovative in all its venture, so it comes no surprise when it launched interesting and informative contents about diseases in its online digital library – Texila Digipedia. Given that hoards of diseases are prevailing all over the world, such information can be quite advantageous in knowing more about these diseases.

In the past various researchers and scientist have found it difficult to access informative and latest content. Not that the Internet was the last place they searched for, but somehow there was a lack of a digital collection of the medical researches and finding. Hundreds of digital libraries were there, but people found it difficult to know which library had genuine contents.

Knowing very well that the young and evolving minds need a good source for their reference, TAU has started this initiative where students can get valuable contents related to dangerous and communicable diseases.

Initially, it has started with Cancer, Diabetes, Asthma, etc and hopes to add more contents related to other diseases in the Huge Online Library. As per most of the doctors and medical institutions, there are quite a lot of people who are not aware of how to combat with deadly diseases. They don’t know how to prevent them and get these diseases treated.

In addition, TAU has started the GKEP (Global Knowledge Enhancement Program) where the students of TAU can take part in providing information related to diseases. This program initiates the students to research about the diseases and expands their horizons in the field of education.

The Symptoms of the Cancer

texiladigipedi.com-healthnewsWhat are signs and symptoms?

Signs and symptoms are both signals of injury, illness, disease, or that something is not right in the body.

A sign is a signal that can be seen by someone else—maybe a loved one, or a doctor, nurse, or other health care professional. For example, fever, fast breathing, and abnormal lung sounds heard through a stethoscope may be signs of pneumonia.

A symptom is a signal that is felt or noticed by the person who has it, but may not be easily seen by anyone else. For example, weakness, aching, and feeling short of breath may be symptoms of pneumonia.

Having one sign or symptom may not be enough to figure out what’s causing it. For example, a rash in a child could be a sign of a number of things, such as poison ivy, measles, a skin infection, or a food allergy. But if the child has the rash along with other signs and symptoms like a high fever, chills, achiness, and a sore throat, then a doctor can get a better picture of the illness.

Sometimes, a patient’s signs and symptoms still don’t give the doctor enough clues to be sure what is causing the illness. Then medical tests, such as x-rays, blood tests, or a biopsy may be needed.

What are some general signs and symptoms of cancer?

You should know some of the general signs and symptoms of cancer. But remember, having any of these does not mean that you have cancer—many other things cause these signs and symptoms, too. If you have any of these symptoms and they last for a long time or get worse, please see a doctor to find out what’s going on.

Unexplained weight loss

Most people with cancer will lose weight at some point. When you lose weight for no known reason, it’s called an unexplained weight loss. An unexplained weight loss of 10 pounds or more may be the first sign of cancer. This happens most often with cancers of the pancreas, stomach, esophagus (swallowing tube), or lung.

Fever

Fever is very common with cancer, but it more often happens after cancer has spread from where it started. Almost all patients with cancer will have fever at some time, especially if the cancer or its treatment affects the immune system. (This can make it harder for the body to fight infection.) Less often, fever may be an early sign of cancer, such as blood cancers like leukemia or lymphoma.

Fatigue

Fatigue is extreme tiredness that does not get better with rest. It may be an important symptom as cancer grows. It may happen early, though, in some cancers, like leukemia. Some colon or stomach cancers can cause blood loss that’s not obvious. This is another way cancer can cause fatigue. http://www.texiladigipedia.com/about-us.html

Pain

Pain may be an early symptom with some cancers like bone cancers or testicular cancer. A headache that does not go away or get better with treatment may be a symptom of a brain tumor. Back pain can be a symptom of cancer of the colon, rectum, or ovary. Most often, pain due to cancer means it has already spread (metastasized) from where it started.

Skin changes

Along with cancers of the skin, some other cancers can cause skin changes that can be seen. These signs and symptoms include:

  • Darker looking skin (hyperpigmentation)
  • Yellowish skin and eyes (jaundice)
  • Reddened skin (erythema)
  • Itching (pruritis)
  • Excessive hair growth
