Signs of deficiency and natural sources

Vitamin B3 (vitamin PP, nicotinic acid Nicotinic acid: what is its benefit to man? Niacin) - water-soluble vitamin B group.

If you have insomnia, fear, anxiety, anger, irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper , The inability to focus on anything, if you start excessively plump, and the condition of your psyche is such that you are advised to see a psychiatrist if you are full of aggression - change the diet in the first place so as to introduce into it foods rich in B vitamins, in particular B3, B1, B2, B6, as well as A, C.

Often these symptoms are taken around for senility. Signs of deficiency of vitamin B3 occur in 13% of people over 60 years.

If a diet high in fiber and low in sugar and sweets, it can not supplement with vitamin B3; most likely it will be sufficient. But those who love sweets, drink alcohol, this vitamin is required in 2 - 3 times more than the norm.

Symptoms of deficiency of niacin or Vitamin B3:

• Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract and diarrhea;
• The defeat of the skin and mucous membranes, often leading to dermatitis; cracks in the oral cavity;
• Muscle fatigue and fatigue;
• Loss of appetite;
• The disorder of the nervous system up to the dementia.

It was found that if a person receives a sufficient amount of nicotinic acid (15 mg - 1 g), the signs of the disease will soon disappear. But there have been cases where patients recover only when they were administered simultaneously in: (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), and niacin (vitamin B3).

The heat treatment does not reduce the content of nicotinic acid in the products. But if a diet rich in starch substances, the body's need for nicotine acid increases. In diabetes, the dose of vitamin B3 should be well above the norm.

Vitamin B3 is found in all products where there are other B vitamins, but in different quantities (meat, kidney, liver, dairy products). For example, 100 g of his liver about 14 mg per 100 g of tuna - about 19 mg. In meat products contained too much niacin. Especially rich in them meat turkey.

Very much niacin in sunflower seeds and peanuts - peanuts (in 1 cup red-hot nuts - about 24 mg). Just remember that peanuts easily infected by the fungus that produces aflatoxin - a powerful carcinogenic poison. Therefore, we must take the grain from spoiling clean, wash them thoroughly, disinfected in a weak solution of manganese or iodinola and then washed in running water. Then they are dried in the pan, not perezharivaya.

Furthermore, they are rich beans and peas, soy beans and mushrooms. But it is especially rich in vitamin B3, as well as all the B vitamins, brewer's yeast Brewer's yeast and their healing properties: an indispensable source of vitamins .

Signs lymphadenitis

The lymphatic system is made up of small and large lymph vessels, and they are the lymph nodes. At the venous system, it provides removing excess fluid How to withdraw excess fluid from the body - all sorts of ways   and metabolic products (popularly referred to as slag) from the body and protects against infection. Lymph nodes - a formation of an oval or elongated shape, with dimensions from a few millimeters to two centimeters, located along the lymphatic vessels. Lymph nodes are usually arranged in groups in the deepening of the internal surfaces of the extremities, or close to major arteries and veins. They have a connective capsule, which has internal partitions.

From depressions on the surface of the node (gate) depart Gate branch. The gate & enter the arteries and nerves and veins are located and efferent lymphatic vessels. The lymph node runs several bearing lymph vessels and is minimal quantity of efferent vessels, which have a larger diameter. Inside the lymph node is a loose connective tissue filled maturing immune blood cells (mainly lymphocytes).

The lymph nodes of the immune cells that contribute to the formation of immune - the basic mechanism of protection from external influences. The lymph nodes also serve a barrier function, they are retained dust, small foreign bodies, bacteria and so on.

What is lymphadenitis

Lymphadenitis - an inflammation of the lymph nodes Inflammation of the lymph nodes - when it comes to infection , It usually begins on a background of inflammation in the surrounding tissues and organs (reactive inflammation), but can also occur independently. Lymphadenitis occurs acutely or chronically.

Cause lymphadenitis different pathogens falling into the lymph node veins and lymphatic ducts in areas of inflammation located in the surrounding tissues. Lymphadenitis caused by staphylococcus, E. coli, streptococci and some other organisms known as non-specific, because the inflammatory process at the same time does not have some features associated with the infectious agent. Specific called lymphadenitis unique to one particular disease, such as tuberculosis, syphilitic, and some other types of lymphadenitis.

Signs of acute lymphadenitis

In acute lymphadenitis lymph nodes increase in size and become painful, remaining flexible and are not soldered to surrounding tissues. Acute lymphadenitis can occur in different forms: catarrhal (without pus), hemorrhagic (with bloody contents) and purulent.

At catarrhal lymphadenitis (usually reactive lymphadenitis Reactive lymphadenitis - an inflammatory reaction That is, a reaction to an inflammation in the surrounding tissues) general condition suffers a little, the lymph nodes are enlarged and painful, with the surrounding tissues are not soldered, the skin over them is not changed. But if it starts abscess (purulent lymphadenitis), then join the phenomenon of intoxication: there is a fever, high fever, malaise, headache, severe pain in the lymph nodes, the skin over it swells and reddens. The infection can spread to nearby tissues, veins and spread through the bloodstream throughout the body.

With proper and timely begun treatment lymphadenitis ends safely without any consequences for the organism. Acute lymphadenitis may be complicated by inflammation of the walls surrounding the veins, purulent process spread to the surrounding tissues. Acute process may also become chronic.

Symptoms of chronic lymphadenitis

Chronic lymphadenitis usually occurs during the protracted process of acute, but sometimes chronic course starts from the very beginning, it is often the case with lowered immunity and the presence of chronic foci of infection. In chronic course or enlarged lymph nodes (lymphoid tissue grows) or decreased (lymphoid tissue shrinks - atrophy) in size.

Overall condition of chronic lymphadenitis suffer slightly: may disturb general weakness, decreased performance, malaise. After purulent process in the lymph nodes associated lymphoid tissue is replaced by connective and lymph node Lymph nodes - what keeps our immune system   gradually loses its function at this point may be disturbed by the movement of lymph, resulting in local swelling of surrounding tissues.

Treatment lymphadenitis

Treatment lymphadenitis always starts with identifying its causes, ie, chronic or acute inflammation in the surrounding tissues and treat the outbreak. In acute purulent lymphadenitis after isolation of the pathogen infection and determine its sensitivity to antibiotics appointed antibacterial drugs. In the initial stages, before the formation of pus, warming prescribed procedures in the area of ​​lymph nodes (dry heat, solux, UFO). But if there were signs of a purulent inflammation, the warming procedures should be excluded in such cases, the lymph node is surgically opened, the pus is removed, and the wound is drained (supplied by the outflow of the contents).

Swollen lymph nodes are always cause for concern, as it requires medical care.
