What is "glaucoma"?

Glaucoma is an eye condition that damages the optic nerve, which is essential for good vision. It is often associated with increased pressure inside the eye, which can gradually harm the optic nerve fibers responsible for transferring visual information from the eye to the brain. This damage can lead to vision loss or blindness if left untreated. Glaucoma is often referred to as the "silent thief of sight" because it can progress slowly and without symptoms until significant vision loss has occurred. Treatment for glaucoma typically involves medications to lower eye pressure, laser therapy, or surgery to improve drainage of fluid from the eye. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing glaucoma and protecting vision. Regular eye exams can help detect glaucoma early, allowing for quick treatment to prevent vision loss.

What is "inflammation"?

Inflammation is the body's natural response to injury or infection, characterized by redness, swelling, heat, and pain in the affected area. It is a crucial part of the immune system's defense process, helping to isolate and remove harmful substances, and start the healing process. Inflammation can be acute, lasting for a short period as the body deals with an immediate threat, or chronic, lasting for a longer time and potentially leading to various health issues if not properly managed. Common causes of inflammation include infections, injuries, autoimmune diseases, and exposure to irritants. Treatment depends on the cause and may involve rest, medications, and other therapies to reduce symptoms and promote healing.

It typically begins with an infection in the lungs, urinary system, abdomen, or other parts of the body. Symptoms of sepsis include fever, chills, rapid breathing and heart rate, confusion, and extreme pain or discomfort. Early detection and immediate treatment with antibiotics and fluids given through a vein are crucial to improve outcomes.

Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system. It is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene, which leads to the production of thick, sticky mucus that can clog the airways and blocks the pancreas, the organ located behind the stomach that produces enzymes to help digest food and hormones. Symptoms of cystic fibrosis vary but often include persistent coughing, frequent lung infections, difficulty breathing, poor growth, and digestive problems such as difficulty digesting food and absorbing nutrients. Cystic fibrosis is a lifelong condition that requires ongoing medical care. Treatment typically involves medications to thin mucus, prevent infections, improve lung function, and support digestion, as well as therapies and exercise to help clear mucus from the lungs.
