TB has never gone away and is today one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide. Therefore it is essential that symptoms are not ignored.

In COPD, the gaseous exchange is impaired due to the causes of COPD, inflammation in the lungs, damaged lung tissue and a narrowing of the airways which all makes breathing difficult. https://nutra.blog/posts/pancreatic-cancer-10-symptoms-and-what-to-eat-to-reduce-them/ Tue, 01 May 2018 14:12:35 -0400 https://nutra.blog/posts/pancreatic-cancer-10-symptoms-and-what-to-eat-to-reduce-them/ 1.

Obstructive jaundice in pancreatic cancer is a condition caused by the tumour blocking the bile duct. Jaundice can be seen when the whites of the eyes and the skin has a yellow hue, due to an accumulation of a liquid called Bilirubin. Bilirubin breaks down heme iron in red blood cells which is excreted in the bile and urine. https://nutra.blog/posts/16-warning-signs-of-lupus-to-watch-out-for/ Fri, 27 Apr 2018 15:03:06 -0400 https://nutra.blog/posts/16-warning-signs-of-lupus-to-watch-out-for/ 1.
