About Leukaemia Cancer

Leukaemia is a cancer of blood cells. It begins in the bone marrow which are the soft tissues inside the bones. Most often, it is a cancer of white blood cells but some leukaemia start in other blood cells types. It produces abnormal white blood cells called leukaemia cells. These abnormal blood cells grow faster than normal blood cells and do not stop when they are supposed to.
There are several types of Leukaemia. In general, Leukaemia can be grouped into two broad categories:
  • Acute or Chronic: Acute Leukaemia gets worse in a short time period and may make you feel sick right away. Chronic Leukaemia gets worse slowly and may not cause symptoms for years.
  • Lymphocytic or Myelogenous: Lymphocytic leukaemia affects white blood cells. Myelogenous leukaemia affects white blood cells called myelocytes.
Types of Leukaemia include:
  • Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL)
  • Acute Myelogenous Leukaemia (AML)
  • Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia ( CLL)
  • Chronic Myelogenous Leukaemia (CML)

  • Certain genetic disorders like down syndrome are associated with increased risk of leukemia.
  • People exposed to high level of radiations . Nuclear reactor, for instance.
  • Certain Chemical Exposure like Benzene.
  • Viral Infections.
  • Smoking and tobacco use is associated with acute myelogenous leukemia.
  • People with medical conditions like Pneumonia, sinusitis, chronic osteoarthritis etc. have a slightly higher risk of developing leukemia.

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.

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
