Lymphoma Cancer Treatment

What is Lymphoma?

Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system, the body's disease-fighting network. The lymph system is made up of many cells and organs, including the lymph nodes, thymus gland, spleen, and liver. This system produces B-Cells and T-Cells lymphocytes, which make up your body’s immune system. These are spread throughout your body, much like your blood vessels. In lymphoma, lymphocytes start to multiply in an abnormal way and begin to collect in certain parts of the lymphatic system, such as the lymph nodes. Since these cells travel between the lymphatic and circulatory system while fighting infections and viruses, lymphomas are blood-related cancers. The affected lymphocytes lose their infection-fighting properties, making you more vulnerable to infection.

Although there are dozens of sub types of lymphoma cancer it is mainly divided into:

Hodgkin Lymphoma - This is a rare type of lymphoma cancer and is not seen affecting significant number of people. This type of lymphoma cancer affects a separate type of lymphocyte.
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma - This is the more commonly seen form of lymphoma cancer and affects a  particular type of lymphocyte cell. The rate of development of this type of lymphoma cancer is different and the type of treatment required also varies accordingly.

What is VSD (ventricular septal defect)? A  ventricular septal defect  (VSD) is a type of birth defect (congenital condition) which results in the development of a hole in the wall separating the two lower chambers (ventricular chambers) of the heart. This wall of membranous tissue and inferior muscles is known as the ventricular septum and the hole is more commonly seen in the membranous portion of the septum (chamber wall). What are the signs and symptoms of a Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD)? Ventricular septal defect (VSD)  is mostly a congenital (birth) defect that is seen in infants around a few weeks after birth. Some of the signs and symptoms seen in a developing VSD include pansystolic murmur in the lower left sterna border, troubled blood flow, irregular heartbeat as well as pulmonary hypertension as a result of increase in the blood flow. Eisenmenger's syndrome may also be caused which results in the pressure to increase in the pulmonary vascular bed. The c

Cardiac Ablation for Heart Rhythm Problems

Image
Cardiac ablation procedures Cardiac ablation is a procedure that is used to scar small areas in your heart that may be involved in your  heart rhythm problems . This can prevent the abnormal electrical signals or rhythms from moving through the heart. During the procedure, small wires called electrodes are placed inside your heart to measure your heart's electrical activity. When the source of the problem is found, the tissue causing the problem is destroyed. Description There are two methods for performing cardiac ablation: Radiofrequency ablation uses heat energy to eliminate the problem area. Cryoablation uses very cold temperatures. The type of procedure you have will depend on what kind of abnormal heart rhythm you have. Cardiac ablation procedures  are done in a hospital laboratory by trained staff. This includes cardiologists (heart doctors), technicians, and nurses. The setting is safe and controlled so your risk is as low as possible
