What exactly is bilateral coanial atresia?


What is bilateral coanial atresia? What are the symptoms? What are the risks of having it? Is it rare? If so, how rare?
----------

OK, it is congenital, the person was born with it. It is, if it's bilateral, a complete obstruction of the back of the nasal passages (choana). The real problem being born with this is that babies are obligate nasal breathers, they must breathe through their nose. This presents a problem in the neonatal setting as it's necessary to insert an oral airway or intubate them. Either of these is absolutely necessary as the baby cannot breathe without one of them. It's a relatively routine procedure for neonates to be intubated but it does carry risks.
The only correction is surgical. An ENT doctor must create an open nasal passage for the baby to breathe normally. And, of course, any surgery carries risks.
Choanal atresia is usually unilateral, just one side. There is an archival case of a 35 year old woman with bilateral choanal atresia but it, obviously, wasn't a complete blockage.
The incidence of choanal atresia is about 1:5,000 to 1:8,000 births. It is usually unilateral and not diagnosed until later in life. Bilateral is more rare. And it's found much more frequently in females than males. Go figure.
Hope this helps.And thank you for the interesting question.  (+ info)

What is the difference between Colon Cancer and Intestinal Cancer?


And how does one get screened for Intestinal cancer?

Colon cancer runs in my family and I have a colonoscopy every year. But I found out that a close relative has Intestinal cancer.
----------

As other peole pointed out, "colon" cancer is a cancer specific of the large intestin, whereas "intestinal" cancer could affect any part of the intestine (including the small intestine, i.e. duodenum, ileum and jujenum).

If colon cancer runs in your family, you are likely to have FAP, or Familial adenomatous polyposis, an inherited colorectal cancer syndrome. People with the classic type of familial adenomatous polyposis may begin to develop multiple noncancerous (benign) polyps (growths) in the colon as early as their teenage years.
This cancer usually develops in the lower part of the digestive system, including the large intestine (colon) and rectum. However, the FAP syndrome could present a risk factor for the cancer of the small intestine (what your relative might have), therefore this person could also carry the genetic mutation that confers cancer predisposition (the APC gene, in the case of FAP).

How do I get rid of intestinal parasites out of a human?


My bother eats a lot of food but he is still very skinny,
and he is definitely showing signs of having intestinal parasites (round worms, tape worms etc).
How can he get rid of them?
----------

He would need a blood test so the Doctor can identify what parasite your brother has (if any) there are different parasites and different medications for whatever you dealing with. I travel out of the country alot and every time I come back home to the U.S. I have to have blood tests I have had several different parasitic infestations and each one I had a different medication...if you really believe that he does have parasites he really does need a blood test..it doesn't hurt to get one.... then he can receive the right meds..  (+ info)

What are the the sources of intestinal flora ?


I am having lack in intestinal flora. So, what are the the sources of
potent intestinal flora.
----------

The people answering this question seem to be generating confusion between the terms "intestinal flora" and "probiotics".

Intestinal flora refers to the normal bacteria, fungi and spirochaetes which inhabit the colon; probiotics are specialized bacteria which are intended to replace intestinal flora once they are altered by disease or drugs.

The intestinal flora develop in babies by two routes, from the mouth and from the anus. The flora changes as conditions in the colon change with age, including pH, local redox potiential, and competing other flora.

The only way one "lacks intestinal flora" is if the gut is entirely devoid of bacteria. It takes persistent use of specialized antibiotics to do this, as its done for bone marrow transplant patients. Any other lesser change in intestinal flora, for example by using standard oral antibiotics, produces only a temporary alteration in the flora. Shortly after stopping taking oral antibiotics, teh intestinal flora returns to normal. There is no such thing as "potent" intestinal flora.  (+ info)

Too much sugar - fructose and artificial sweeteners - can result in diarrhea.
Caffeine has a laxative effect too.  (+ info)
