Meniere’s disease is a disorder that produces a group of symptoms: sudden attacks of whirling dizziness, tinnitus or head noise, a feeling of pressure or fullness in the ear, and a fluctuating hearing loss. While the underlying cause is not known, it is believed to result from a fluctuation in the pressure of fluid that fills the inner ear. An attack may last from a few hours to several days.

Meniere’s disease is classified as an inner ear disorder that causes repeated attacks of dizziness and the discomfort of fullness from the affected ear. This is due to increase pressure of the inner ear fluids. Fluids in the inner ear chambers are constantly being produced and absorbed by the circulatory system. If there are any disturbances in the delicate relationship, there is an over production or under absorption of the fluids.

Medical Options: Treatment may vary, depending on the patient. This depends on several factors according to the cause, magnitude, and frequency of the symptoms. In order to improve the inner ear circulation and control the fluid pressure, treatment may consist of medication to stimulate the inner ear circulation. Drugs which accomplish this are vasodilating drugs (blood pressure pills) and diuretics (water pills) with anti-dizziness medication.

Peyronie’s disease or PD is a localized disorder of the penis which is distinguished by collagen composition changes of the tunica albuginea. This results in a fibrotic plaque containing excessive collagen. Men suffering from PD complain of penile plaque, painful erection, penile shortening, penile curvature, and erectile dysfunction or ED. Peyronie’s disease is typically found in men between ages 40 and 70 years.

In Peyronie’s disease, penile curvature is caused by an inelastic scar or plaque that shortens the involved part of the tunica albuginea of the corpora cavernosa when erection happens. In about one third of patients, scarring involves the dorsal and ventral aspects of the shaft. The offsetting plaques may make the penis straight but shortened or may have a lateral bend.

Almost all implantable cardioverter-defibrillators have built in circuitry to pace the heart, in addition to familiar "zapping" function to correct V-Tach or V-Fib, when the heart beats too fast. The pacing function starts if the heart beats too slowly. That happens to many of us, especially when we sleep, because some of the anti-arrhythmic medicines we take do slow down the heart beat.

Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis are chronic diseases, meaning they recur throughout a person's life. The rate of recurrence is different for everyone, and some people can go years between disease relapses. Naturally, the severity of the disease varies from person to person, but most people lead active and full lives after being diagnosed. The life expectancy of those with Crohn's disease and /or colitis is normal. They are not considered terminal diseases.
