The prostate is an important organ present in the male reproductive system that comprises of the penis, testicles, and the prostate. It is present under the bladder and in front of the rectum. When a mutation occurs in the cells present in the prostate, and the ability to control cell division efficiently is lost, the resultant condition is known as prostate cancer. While in most of the cases, the mutant cells get attacked and killed by the immune system, in some other cases, the mutant cells escape and end up forming a prostate tumor. While there are no means to cure it entirely, there are certain factors that increase the risk of being prone to prostate cancer. These risk factors for prostate cancer are as follows: Age As age increases, so does the risk of developing prostate cancer. The risk of developing this condition increases particularly after the age of 50 years. It has been reported that over 80% of the people suffering from this condition are above the age of 65. Getting diagnosed with this cancer at older ages can put the individuals up to complicated treatment options. Family history A type of prostate cancer known as familial prostate cancer is known to be run in the family line.

Most of the time, the discussion ends at the treatment options for different types of cancer and whether or not they are capable of treating cancer completely. Whatever the treatment options are, the discussion should further extend to what the recovery options are after the treatments are done. Recovery options usually differ from one type of treatment to another. In the case of oral cancer, if a surgery is done, there will be swelling and pain. While it has been shown that removing small tumors would not have any long-term problems associated with it, the removal of large tumors can cause problems with swallowing, chewing, and even talking properly. So, after these treatments are done, an individual may usually require a reconstructive surgery which involves the rebuilding of tissues and bones in the face which were removed at the time of the surgery. In addition to this surgery process, several other details should be kept in mind and sought further treatment. Most of the cancer treatment options use drugs which can have significant side effects that last for a while even after the treatment is over. Side effects of radiation therapy include tooth decay, sore and bleeding gums, fatigue, dry mouth and loss of function of salivary glands, vomiting and nausea, mouth and skin infections, a difference in the individual’s ability to smell and taste, pain and jaw stiffness, problem while wearing dentures, dryness and burning sensation of the skin, thyroid changes, and weight loss.

In the case of children below the age of 6 years diagnosed with ADHD, behavioral interventions and therapy are suggested before medication can be prescribed. Even after the age of 6 years, for a child with ADHD, the treatment options mostly have some form of therapeutic treatment in conjunction with the medication. The different types of therapeutic treatments that can be considered for ADHD are as follows: Hands on play with STEM building toys: Children with ADHD often have a unique type of energy that lends itself nicely to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) focused learning and play. This is because children with ADHD thrive in self-paced, non-linear stimulating learning environments (i.e., computer programing or robotics) where they can hyper-focus on tasks. Patients with ADHD benefit from playing with STEM building toys and technology because they control the rate of play, they receive rapid feedback, and they enjoy the bright colors and variety of sounds that these technological toys provide. Behavior therapy (BT): The ultimate aim of this treatment is to help the child understand and assess their behavior to change them as seen fit. This kind of treatment would require the child, the parent, and in some cases, the child’s teacher to work together.

Much research has shown that alcohol is the most commonly used and misused substance across the country. According to the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 14.1 million adults who were 18 years and older had alcohol use disorder. Only 6.5% of this number received treatments. It is also estimated that 88,000 people die annually from alcohol-related issues. In 2013, 24.6 million Americans who are 12 years and older had used illicit prescriptions in the previous month and this is 9.4% of the population. Alcohol treatment centers for alcohol abuse These centers are designed to help people who are addicted to alcohol. Some of them require the person to stay in-house with them while others have the outpatient facility. It also depends on how severe the addiction is. Your doctor would be able to guide you with the right kind of intervention. Treatments usually start with the detox process. This enables the body to get accustomed to an environment without alcohol. This is the first crucial stage in the recovery process because people go through delirium and if unattended, it could potentially lead to life-threatening seizures. This is one of the treatment options for alcohol and substance abuse.

The involuntary movement which we cannot control is known as dyskinesia. There is no limit to how much dyskinesia can affect the body. The condition could affect just one part of the body or could even go to the extent of affecting the whole body. The intensity of dyskinesia can range from mild to moderate to severe. The condition can also become extremely painful and interfere with the everyday activities of the individual. In addition to that, the frequency with which it occurs and the times at which it occurs also remains irregular. This condition is often seen in people with Parkinson’s disease. The condition occurs because the individuals suffering from Parkinson’s disease take the medication of levodopa. If this medication is being administered or taken in higher quantities or if the medication has been in use by the individual for a very long time, then dyskinesia occurs. The different treatment options for dyskinesia and tremors available for people experiencing this condition are as follows: Altering the dosage of levodopa being consumed Levodopa is a medication that increases the amount of dopamine in the brain. This is taken as a treatment option for Parkinson’s disease. In this condition, the level of dopamine reduces and the limb movement doesn’t happen smoothly because of it.
