As life expectancy increases, it means that we will have to live with many chronic health problems such as cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, etc. and must take drugs to control these conditions. However, when the disease is stable or in good progress, some drugs will be considered to be discontinued to minimize “multi-drug” and adverse interactions. The scientists found that, among more than 29,000 adults aged 65 and older, who stopped taking cholesterol-lowering medications (while maintaining other medications), had an increased risk of having a cardiovascular emergency. and death. “The results of this study suggest that cutting back on statins may not be the optimal way,” said lead author Federico Rea, of the University of Milan. The patients in the study were taking a statin (such as lipitor) along with blood thinners, blood pressure medications, and diabetes medications from October 1, 2013 to January 31, 2015, and were followed up until January 31, 2015. ends June 30, 2018. Compared with those who continued to take statins, patients who stopped taking them were 24% more likely to need hospital care for heart failure, 14% more likely to have certain other heart conditions, and more likely to die. mortality from any cause is higher than 15%. They were also 12% more likely to need emergency treatment. Because the benefits of statins outweigh the risks in terms of cardiovascular protection, physicians should carefully consider discontinuing their use in elderly patients, the researchers said. Often doctors and patients want to cut off certain medications in the elderly, to avoid having to take multiple medications at once, reduce drug burden, and limit drug interactions… However, this is not always the case. is a safe choice. When deciding to discontinue medication, the physician should carefully consider the evidence based on it. Dr. Benjamin Hirsh, Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital said. The American Heart Association recommends starting statins before age 75 for patients who need it, and continuing it in patients over 75 years of age who can tolerate it. This study further reinforces the benefit of continued statin treatment in older adults, even among those taking multiple other medications. Dr. Gregg Fonarow, University of California said.

A man is vaccinated with AstraZeneca in Jakarta, Indonesia, June 15. Photo: AP The results showed that only 166 cases required hospitalization. Those who received two doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine were 92% effective without requiring hospitalization, while those who received the Pfizer vaccine, the figure was 94% after dose 1 and 96% after dose 2. “These findings suggest that the level of protection of people with Delta variant from hospitalization is very high. Understanding this is important in assessing the danger that Delta variant poses to the general population.” , the study authors concluded. “The effect of not requiring hospitalization because the Delta variant after one injection of AstraZeneca is 71% and after two injections is 92%. This metric really reassures India. To choose the direction, I think we should should use modeling approaches to devise different implementation strategies and compare the impact of vaccines at each stage of the epidemic,” commented Professor of Microbiology Gagandeep Kang of India. The Delta variant first appeared in India and has been classified as a “variant of concern” by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while the World Health Organization (WHO) has called it a “variant of concern”. it is a ‘disturbing variation’. The Delta variant is expected to become a common strain in the US next fall, increasing the risk of a new wave of disease in unvaccinated people later this year.

The girl was hospitalized because she injects herself with vitamin E to beautify (Artwork) The incident happened not long ago, although the girl did not want to reveal her identity, the doctor who treated this girl still mentioned this as a typical example of beauty “despite”, ignorant beauty of the woman. many sisters. Because self-injection of vitamin E is really dangerous, you can have an allergic reaction, more severe anaphylaxis or even death if not treated promptly. Share more details about this content with reporters Infonet, Dr. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan, Center for Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, National Burn Hospital, said that vitamin E is an oil-soluble vitamin with antioxidant properties. Vitamin E is present in eight different chemical structures. In the human body alpha-tocopherol is the most active form. Accordingly, if you choose to buy a skin care product and see the term “tocopherol” in the ingredient list, it is vitamin E. “Vitamin E has many effects on the skin rejuvenation process. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, thereby locking in moisture and preventing the attack of bacteria from the environment, minimizing allergy symptoms and skin irritation. If the skin barrier is damaged, your skin will dry, lack elasticity and become sensitive, causing acne, irritation as well as accelerating the skin aging process. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan said. Not only helps strengthen the skin barrier, vitamin E also has a moisturizing effect on the skin. Sufficiently moist skin will help absorb other nutrients well, increase elasticity, make your skin smooth, minimize wrinkles and prevent the aging process. “Vitamin E is an antioxidant – an extremely important substance that helps the body fight against free radical attack (free radicals will destroy proteins, connective tissue and cell membranes, accelerating the aging process). skin). In addition, vitamin E also protects the skin from harmful agents from the sun, vitamin E and vitamin C are the perfect combination to help protect skin from the sun, increasing the effect of sunscreen by 4 times. “, Dr. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan information. Because vitamin E is an oil-soluble vitamin, so Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan thinks that it is very well absorbed through topical or oral route. “Therefore, the injection of vitamin E for beauty is not necessary. You should not self-inject vitamin E at home or unlicensed, unlicensed facilities, especially for people with allergies because it can cause an allergic reaction, more severe than shock. anaphylaxis or even death if not treated promptly”, Dr. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan emphasized. Even without injections of vitamin E, oral supplementation should be noted. Currently on the market there are many types of functional foods containing vitamin E with ads for skin beauty and anti-aging. However, according to Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan, vitamin E supplementation is necessary for the anti-aging process of the skin, however, if used arbitrarily not as prescribed by the doctor, it will cause unwanted effects. Accordingly, if you use vitamin E in high doses, for a long time, there is an increased risk of bleeding, more dangerous than a brain hemorrhage, especially in people who are using anticoagulant drugs (such as warfarin, heparin, aspirin,…) and in people with vitamin K deficiency. In pregnant women, the use of high doses of vitamin E increases the risk of congenital heart defects in the fetus. “Youth skin is always the dream of many women. To have beautiful skin, we must first love and take care of it, maintain a daily skin care routine with products that are suitable for our skin as well as our age. You also need to learn more about functional foods to supplement the anti-aging process as prescribed by your doctor. Along with that, go to reputable beauty facilities to be evaluated by doctors on skin conditions, advise on skin care products as well as appropriate methods to maintain your youth, “Dr. Dr. Hoang Thanh Tuan emphasized.

Through the above case, the doctors warned that the foreign body is a common dangerous accident in children, especially in children under 2 years old, because foreign objects falling into the airways narrow or completely block the airways. . Accidents usually happen when children eat, smile or eat improperly. In many cases, adults let children eat, play, suck or swallow small foods and objects.

Airway foreign body is an emergency condition, if not handled in time, it can lead to serious consequences such as irreversible brain damage or even death. Therefore, parents with young children need to pay special attention when their children play with objects or foods with high risk of choking, choking because children are easily neglected or swallowed, so there is a risk of choking, choking, choking. suffocate, even lose life if there is no timely emergency.

Hospitalized for emergency hospitalization for online use of drugs, quitting doctors

Ms. NVN (65 years old, Thai Binh), has had diabetes for many years and is on stable medication. Recently, listening to an advertisement online for a drug with effervescent promises to cure this disease completely without side effects. Mrs. N. decided to cancel the prescription and buy this drug to use. Taking the drug for about 2 weeks, blood sugar and blood pressure are high, mucosal swelling, tired body, slow working. When the edema worsened, her skin was pale, had difficulty breathing … her family members took her to the emergency hospital.

Do not because the advertisement contains an effervescent medicine for emergency diabetes treatment that is life-threatening.

Here, when conducting the emergency, the patient recorded the following indicators: Blood sugar 17.6mmol / L and blood pressure 190 / 110mmhg. Ultrasound results showed bilateral pleural effusion. When he was taken to the emergency room, the patient was in a very serious, life-threatening condition. Doctors had to conduct emergencies and active treatment to help patients get out of a critical crisis.

Instruct diabetic patients on how to care for and monitor their disease at the Central Endocrine Hospital.

Patient N. was not the first person to be admitted to the emergency room due to voluntary discontinuation of medication prescribed by the doctor. Dr. Pham Thuy Huong – Deputy Director of Central Endocrinology Hospital, said that the hospital had to emergency many cases of abandoning the doctor’s prescription and switched to taking decoctions, pills, effervescent pills or functional foods. … in the hope of a complete cure. In particular, there was a 64-year-old male disease, diagnosed with 3-year diabetes, 2-year hypertension with complications of stage 2 chronic kidney disease. Due to worries about side effects of western medicine and trust in advertising It is possible to completely cure the disease without using drugs, so this patient has voluntarily quit completely the drug prescribed by the doctor’s prescription and taking supplements. After about 20 days, the patient began to experience swelling of the body, difficulty breathing, dizziness, chest pain. This patient, when admitted to the hospital, was in a state of respiratory failure with multilayer effusion, pericardium, pleura, peritoneum …

Most of these patients, upon arrival at the hospital, were in a state of complications due to non-compliance, not keeping a stable blood sugar level for a while … Many patients who were admitted to the emergency room were in very serious condition. masonry, dangerous to life. The process of resuscitation and treatment for these cases is very difficult. Dr. Huong said.

Although this situation takes place for a long time and has a lot of warnings, many patients still have it. Because many people still believe that “taking traditional medicine, natural herbs is healthy, not as toxic as western medicine”. Moreover, there is still the belief of the patient when being told by others that “this drug I drink very well, I am cured”, so I bought it for trial …

Dr. Huong said: The “unlucky” each other to use such drugs is very dangerous. Because even with the same disease, the use of drugs for each patient, each age, each sex … is not the same. Not to mention, although the symptoms are the same, but the disease may be different, or the disease is at a different stage, accompanied by another pathology … the use of drugs must be completely different.

To stabilize the disease, to comply with the drug

For diabetic patients who have been diagnosed and treated but who voluntarily quit smoking, it is often very severe when they go to the emergency room, such as kidney failure, liver failure, cardiovascular complications, leading to a high risk of death. During the treatment process, the permanent team must have quick access to support liver, kidney function, electrolyte replacement, especially the patient must undergo dialysis to recover because of the increased risk of complications that are life-threatening. .

Dr. Pham Thuy Huong said: Currently, diabetes has no cure, whether it is western medicine or traditional medicine. The use of antidiabetic drugs is to use drugs to control blood glucose throughout the life, in order to stabilize blood glucose levels within safe limits, limit or slow the progression of dangerous complications caused by diabetes.

However, due to having to take medications and monitor blood sugar every day, many patients are anxious and want to believe in other measures that can help them heal. Accompanying that is the development of advertising on social networking sites, with “commitments”, promising that the use of “heirloom” medicines will help patients to cure completely, making many people believe. and follow.

Dr. Often advised: Whether it is western medicine, traditional medicine or traditional medicine, there are certain side effects. To protect their own health, patients need to be awake and talk to the treating doctor for appropriate advice and advice, do not use products of unknown origin, have not been tested. , has no scientific basis, is not licensed by the Ministry of Health.

In addition to adhering to the treatment regimen of a specialist, diabetic patients need to be examined periodically according to an appointment to get necessary tests to monitor the progress of the disease. When you see unusual signs, you should quickly go to the medical facility for inspection. Before taking any additional drugs to treat another medical condition, it is important to inform your doctor about the medications you are taking in diabetes to avoid adverse drug interactions.
