Does tooth removal affect the brain?
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY ’CAUSE THIS ANSWER IS DIVIDED INTO1.Losing teeth and brain damage2.Extracting teeth and brain damage3.Tooth abscess and brain damageResearch suggests that losing our teeth(LOSING NOT EXTRACTING) is actually a cause of memory loss.Sensory impulses created by the movement of our jaw and teeth are fed to the area of the brain that forms and retrieves memories, say scientists.Those without their own teeth produce fewer signals to be sent to this region, which is called the hippocampus.The number of teeth an individual has is linked ‘uniquely and significantly’ to their performance on tests of episodic memory, where they recall events from the past, and semantic memory, involving factual information.After taking other factors into account, older people with most of their own teeth had on average a 4 per cent better memory than those without, the study found. However, the results could also be down to chewing, which increases blood flow in the brain.HOWEVER….WHETHER EXTRACTION OF TOOTH LEAD TO BRAIN DAMAGE?Extraction of upper teeth do not affect brain or vision. These are only myths. With right technique, any tooth can be simply extracted and does not matter whether tooth is firm or mobile. Rest assured, believe in your dentist and leave it to himNOTE-There is something called TOOTH ABSCESSA tooth abscess is a pocket of pus that develops due to a bacterial infection in the mouth. Abscesses can develop on different parts of the tooth, and because they will not go away on their own, it is incredibly important to treat them as soon as they develop. Abscesses can be caused by untreated cavities, and injuries to the teeth and mouth, so proper oral care can be the best preventative treatment to avoid the tooth abscess and YES!!! This can lead to brain damage
What are the long term health effects of massive blood loss?
Wow - good for you for getting to the hospital on time. What was the liver biopsy for? Livers are tricky organs - they bleed like stink because of their blood supply. I hope you've fully recovered. I have never heard of long term complications from massive blood loss. Of course, if you lose so much blood that you lose the ability to provide essential organs with oxygen you may lose consciousness, and develop multiple organ failure. If that happened, I presume you've recovered since you're sitting here typing. Obviously your brain is working! But how is your kidney function? And how's your liver doing? The only way I can reason out a connection between your newly diagnosed diabetes and your blood loss is this - you would have had to lose so much blood that your pancreas infarcted (went without oxygen so long it, or a part of it, died). If that actually happened, you would most likely have symptoms other than diabetes, since the pancreas controls a lot of endocrine/exocrine functions. Also, if that's what happened - you would be similar to a type 1 diabetic, rather than the type 2 diabetes that most people who get diabetes later in life have. I cannot reason out a way that high blood pressure is connected to losing a lot of blood. I don't know what you mean when you say you are a "larger guy." But I do know that many people have diabetes and high blood pressure and don't know it. And that people who are overweight have this problem in much higher frequency that people who have a healthy body weight for height. Is it possible you had both these diseases, or were considered borderline for these diseases, and then the recent health problems and stress that comes with it tipped you over into the full blown disease? Regardless, I expect that you won't have long term complications from the blood loss. Good luck.
Does masturbation effect memory negatively?
It can. But it's very unlikely unless you do do it a lot (multiple times per day) and have since you were very young. Even then, you probably wouldn't notice the effects for sometime. If you are worried then you should see a doctor (even without telling your parents) but I doubt that it's the cause. Improving your memory/skills is a whole other matter. Both memory and doing maths is similar to a muscle. If you use it a lot, then you will remember things easier and you will find problems easier to tackle. The less you do, the harder it becomes. ie use it or loose it. To start remembering things you learnt in school: Make notes in school while you are there. Make them detailed. Get involved in class (ask/answer questions). Believe it or not, this helps. Then when you get home. Take out a separate book, write down (in point form) everything important you learnt that day. This will 'hammer it into' your brain. Then, DO THE HOMEWORK. This is pretty important. Do all this with no distractions (eg tv, music etc) and regular breaks (5-10 min breaks at least every 40mins-1hr) and your memory for school will improve. Improve memory generally: Do memory excersises. You can find them online or in educational books. Stop relying on paper/notes for things you need to remember, just force your brain to remember what's going on. The points I mentioned above with school will also help your general memory. Improve maths skills: There is literally no way around it. You have to do the work. Listen in class, ask ANYTHING you don't understand, even if it's a silly questions, ask it! Go home, make notes, do the homework. Get feedback for the homework. Ask for extra work if you aren't getting enough (ask in private, I highly recommend). Other things you can do: --- Get a good sleep! Your brain functions best when you're well rested. If you skip hours of sleep, you will forget things easily. Trust me, I have been down that road, it's not a fun one... --- Eat breakfast and lunch and afternoon tea and dinner. It's very hard to concentrate when your stomach is growling at you. Don't eat so much you're full, cause that's not good either. Eat an apple as a snack etc. --- No distractions. Don't watch TV or listen to music when trying to concentrate. Some people can do it, I'll admit it. But if you can't, it will kill your concentration.
When a person has a brain anurism, what do they feel? Do they feel a lot of pain?
My mum has a couple which are fortunately at the front. She said they can cause a lot of pain before they burst ( like a really bad migraine) and she was quite disoriented for a few weeks after, memory and speech wise. She's had three operated on and has another two, the first one they found was calcified. Driving is out for a while and she needed home help which us girls all pitched in to do for the first month after her ops. She's lucky that two of my sisters are actually nurses.
Is it possible to lose your memory after fainting?
ok. story: running around for about 30 min. in 90degree heat. started dazing out?? got really weak and was on the ground, half leaning on a 1.5ft high bench. slumped over completely, MIGHT have hit head. was lying down on concrete, with nothing pillow-like under head. lifted to sitting position. given water--choked. really weak and fragile--couldn't walk/stand. lay down again, first on a shirt, then on someone's lap. soaked shirt in water and put on forehead. got home in a car. doesn't remember/is confused with family members (names, relation, etc.) on remembers half her friends. doesn't remember passing out Note: this is written in third person from the view of someone who was there when the person passed out, not from the view of the actual victim.
Does weed make you lose memory?
I don't use weed, but I know some people who do. They use it to unwind from really hectic work days. A lot of companies are downsizing still, and many of these people are expected to do the work of at least two people, sometimes three. The pharmaceuticals they started with had too many side effects, no sleep, no sex, dizziness, upset stomach, diarrhea, anal leakage (?) headaches, high blood pressure, blurred vision, etc. etc. In the long run they use less of it than the anxiety meds and it doesn't seem to affect their memories, long or short term. They stay mellow at work even when the boss is screaming at them. And they get the job done. Most of the studies done were done like they do with the rat studies. Way over the limit, more than most people would normally do. Weed has been shown to ease epilepsy with fewer side effects. It eases chronic pain better with fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals and keeps people calm. It is a benefit in terminal cancer care, keeps the patient calm and non-suicidal.
