Huey
Lewis, of Huey Lewis & The News fame, has been a musical influence
for over forty years. The popular R&B and blues singer recently
cancelled all future concert dates when he suffered the first attack of
Meniere's Syndrome.
Mr. Lewis was quoted as saying, "Although I
can still hear a little, one on one, and on the phone, I can't hear
music well enough to sing. The lower frequencies distort violently
making it impossible to find pitch. I've been to the House Ear
Institute, the Stanford Ear Institute, and the Mayo Clinic, hoping to
find an answer. The doctors believe I have Meniere's disease and have
agreed that I can't perform until I improve."
The condition
is named after the doctor who first identified the symptoms in 1851.
Anyone of any age can get Meniere's. It commonly attacks 60-year-old
men.
The symptoms include irregular, cyclic episodes where Mr.
Lewis will experience varying levels of hearing loss of 20% to 80% in
the affected ear during each occurrence. It is very rare for victims to
experience the problem in both ears.
During the episodes victims
of Meiner's also experience sensitivity to certain sounds, especially
metallic sounds. A spoon dropped on the floor sounded like part of a
ventilation system crashing down, claimed one sufferer of the syndrome.
Another
symptom Huey reported is tinnitus, that is, ringing in the ears.
Patients often describe it more like a hissing sound or a compressed air
leak. Huey Lewis described it as a loud whooshing sound. Meniere's
sufferers also experience dizziness. During episodes, the room seems to
be spinning and the patient has difficulty maintaining their balance.
They typically gravitate towards a dark, quiet place to lay down.
Extreme nausea marks the end of the episode.
Afterward,
the sufferer goes into a deep sleep for around four hours. The patient
then returns to normal until the next episode in a few days, weeks or
months. The episodes are totally unpredictable. They often recur
randomly for up to two years.
The root problem is diagnosed by an
otologist and mitigating solutions are offered. Oto is the Greek word
for rocks. You have heard the expression, "You must have rocks in your
head." Otologists are surgeons who work on those rocks. Specifically,
the calcium carbonite rocks in the middle ear.
Looking closely to a
diagram of the inner you will find the Vestibular nerve connected to
the lower portion of Semicircular Canals and the brain. That is the
mechanism that controls balance in humans. Microscopic sacs called
utricle and saccule contain hair cell filaments embedded in a membrane
with calcium carbonate rocks, rather granules, suspended in electrolyte.
As your head moves, the rocks move over the hair which send an impulse
to the brain through the vestibular nerve. The signal is coordinated
with the sense of vision and touch.
Medical researchers believe
that pressure caused by a blockage of the electrolyte flow, or an
imbalance in the electrolyte, disturbs the motion of the rocks moving
over the hairs sending a distorted signal to the brain. The microscopic
sacs, the utricle and saccule, can only be observed post mortem so no
one can say for certain if that is the problem
Occasionally,
Meniere's goes away by itself. Some patients respond to physical
therapy. Others respond to a diet that is low in sodium, alcohol and
caffeine. For the majority, the random episodes last a couple of years,
after which the patient experiences permanent hearing loss of 50% or
more in the affected ear. Dizziness and unbalance continue to plague the
victim.
We have other senses to help us keep our balance. After
an informal speech recently, a member of the audience questioned why I
had kept my hand on a chair while speaking. It was an unconscious act
but a reminder that our balance depends on our senses of vision,
hearing, and touch.
It may take Lewis a year or two before he can
feel comfortable enough with himself to brings his fantastic macho
rhythm and blues back to the circuit. If he wants to get back to those
fantastic harmonica solos that are his claim to fame I offer one piece
of advice which worked for me. That is, keep the sodium intake under two
thousand milligrams per day for about six months. I did it. My balance
was normal, no dizziness and the hissing sound was minimal. I think my
hearing improved greatly. But hey, I like most processed foods, bacon,
sausage, pasta, bread and a lot of high sodium foods so right now the
hissing and balance problems are back.

Can Vaping Actually Help Quit Smoking Cigarettes?
So
you want to quit smoking and wondering how vaping can help? Smoking is
one of the hardest addictions to quit. Smokers try all kind of
alternatives from patches to nicotine gums but ultimately fail to quit.
How e-cigr can help
It is probably a great idea to use e-cigr as a smooth process of weaning yourself off the nicotine. One of the benefits of vaping is that you can control your nicotine intake by selecting different strengths. If you are a heavy smoker. you can start with high strength of nicotine in your e-juice and then drop it down slowly.
The good news is that the risk of dying from tobacco-related diseases such as lung cancer and heart attack drops significantly within a few years of quitting smoking. Saying goodbye to cigarettes is probably the most valuable step you can take to heal yourself and improve your overall health. Vaping is a smoking cessation aid that can make your efforts more fruitful.
Smoking and health insurance
You might be wondering about the possible impact of smoking on your health coverage. Smoking insurance premiums are about 50% to 120% more when compared to non-smokers. The practice of charging smokers more is referred to as tobacco ratings. The regulatory authorities allow insurance companies to charge smokers more than non-smokers.
When are you considered a non-smoker if you quit? You need to quit smoking for at least a year for being considered a non-smoker by Canadian insurance companies.
How do I quit smoking?
'How do I quit smoking'(ref: "health.usnews.com") is probably one of the most frequently asked questions. It is truly a challenge that more than 85% of smokers fail to overcome. Perhaps you have already made few attempts to win this let's-quit-smoking challenge but failed every single time. There is no need to get discouraged.
Experts are of the opinion that people who use some kind of assistive methods improve their odds of success. It is not advisable to quit smoking cold turkey, which means without any medicine or counseling. Nicotine withdrawal is difficult and those who decide to quit cold turkey are likely to relapse.
Selecting one of the nicotine replacement therapies is a good idea. There are options such as gums, patches, inhalers, etc. that can help you overcome this habit forever. You should talk to your doctor about medical smoking cessation aids if you are not sure what product would be ideal for you.
Use of E-cigarettes to quit traditional smoking
If patches, gums and other smoking cessation aids don't work for you, try e-cigarettes. A large number of people recommend e-cigarettes as an effective technique to quit traditional smoking. Before anything else, choose a solid reason than your urge to smoke.

Reasons Why a Career in Medical Coding and Billing Have Become So Popular
The
medical industry can be counted as one of the most difficult fields to
enter. This is due to the long periods of training and courses to excel
in this field. We tend to forget, however, that other than being a
physician or a specialist, there are many other alternative careers
available, such as a medical coder or a medical billing specialist.
Today, medical coding and billing jobs have become one of the most
important back-office work in healthcare institutes, clinics and
research.
Medical coders are responsible for converting patient reports into alphanumeric codes which can then be used by insurance companies and research institutes. With the healthcare industry expanding at an exponential rate, the need for coders will naturally increase too. In almost every country today, medical coders who are properly trained and certified are in great demand. A few reasons for this extensive demand will be touched upon below.
Shortage of Medical Coders
Despite the recent demand from healthcare institutes, there is still a significant lack of trained medical coders in the market. These demands need to be met in the near future, with professional coders who can work efficiently to convert data from medical and diagnosing reports into medical codes.
Moreover, the conversion of the coding system from ICD-9 to OCD-10 has increased the standards. This has increased the requirement for coders who are trained and certified in the ICD-10 coding standard. This new standard requires more detailed coding of data which means the need for more coders will be seen. Therefore, it can be said that the opportunities in this field will only rise from now on, making it a great time to acquire the perfect career.
More People getting Medical Insurance
Most of the health departments are motivating the healthcare institutes towards a more detailed and improved record keeping system so that mistakes and detailing problems do not occur. As a result, hospitals and institutes are paying a lot more attention to medical coding and thereby increasing the overall coder demands. With the increased number of people obtaining medical insurance, the number of claims will simultaneously rise, causing another rise in the demand for medical coders. With medical insurance claims rising, the demand will only increase. There is now an increasing trend for the demand of coders in the future.
Increasing Life Expectancy means more Health Care Services
As there is a higher life expectancy these days, the elderly will require continuous healthcare facilities such as testing's, diagnosis and treatment. There will then be more medical reports, testing reports, insurance reimbursements, etc. which are to be coded. This will also aid in the increasing demand for medical coders. Coders who have proper training in critical diseases facilities like cancer will be required more by the industry over time.
