<胎兒心律不整 - bradycardia>

才讀完台兒通訊上期的雙月刊，門診就來了一個意外發現有房室傳導阻斷寶寶。
在診間聽心跳的時候，聽半天覺得心跳怎麼這麼慢? 到處都再確定一下又跟媽媽的脈搏相比不同，所以應該也不是聽到媽媽的動脈血流聲，因此帶她去超音波室一照，發現果不其然胎兒的心跳量起來只有70-80下。
立馬安排了比較詳細的心臟超音波，還有抽血來做更進一步的檢查。

---
寶寶的心跳正常來說是在110-160下/分鐘之間，超過160下是心搏過快，太低則是心搏過慢。
心律不整是一個大課題，今天先從 #心博過慢這個族群來講起。

完整內容請看部落格文章

胎兒心搏過緩要考慮幾個鑑別診斷:
1. 竇性心搏過慢 Sinus bradycardia
(Transient, fetal distress, sinus node dysfunction, Long QT syndrome...)
2. 緩慢性的心律不整 Bradyarrhythmia -> 房室傳導阻斷 AV block

---
1. #竇性心搏過慢

表示胎兒心跳是規則的慢，並不是心房心室的傳導出問題，一個A對一個V。

(1) 暫時性的/胎兒窘迫:
待產時候常見的因為胎頭壓迫所造成的心跳過慢，還有心跳一去不復返的胎兒窘迫。
要考慮的可能是超音波做太久探頭壓迫的影響，或是注意媽媽有沒有低體溫的症狀?
如果以上都沒有，但是心跳還是很慢，就要認真考慮是不是其他的問題了。

(2) 竇房結異常:
竇房結出現問題，就會影響到心律，有些結構上的問題可能會影響到竇房結的位置，像是heterotaxy(異位症)，interrupted IVC，或是單一心室的結構。

(3) Long QT syndrome:
如果心臟結構沒有問題，也排除了第二點的房室傳導阻斷，就要考慮是否為long QT syndrome (我對這個疾病的認識要遙想當年在中榮心臟內科當intern被電的時期阿)
但是Long QT這個疾病也通常只能在出生之後用心電圖來確認。

2. #房室傳導阻斷
大概1/15000-20000，大約40%合併心臟結構問題，其他60%若無心臟結構問題，要考慮跟免疫相關(特別是anti-Ro/SSA or anti-La/SSB抗體)

再來就是難到爆的分類 (沒錯就是跟以前CV學的Mobitz type 1漸行漸遠甚麼碗糕的)
基本上分類和大人一模一樣 (這樣是可以不用介紹的意思嗎??)
要量測PR interval還有對照A-V的比例 (認真覺得這期台兒通訊錄介紹的很淺顯易懂而且是中文版，有興趣的人可以去參考看看)

(#詳細說明請看部落格文章)
---
***如果是懷疑AV block的胎兒，建議媽媽要抽anti-Ro/SSA, anti-La/SSB抗體，來確認免疫部分有沒有問題。

對於確定有anti-Ro/SSA或是anti-La/SSB抗體的媽媽，以前的印象總是要使用類固醇 (fluorinated corticosteroids)，像是betamethasone or dexamethasone來治療，但是最近有些文獻指出，使用類固醇治療與否對於胎兒預後或是新生兒的預後其實沒有顯著的差別。要加快胎兒心跳，也有人使用salbutamol, b-agonist來治療，但是都沒有定論；另外也有使用IVIG的例子。

對於大家最常使用的 #類固醇，文獻中主要提到有幾點需要注意:

1. #影響胎兒預後的因子: 發現時間點<20週，ventricular rate<50 bpm，胎兒水腫，左心室功能受影響 ->預後差
2. 使用類固醇，主要對於"#預防"胎兒變成最嚴重的3度房室傳導阻斷有用；但是對於已經是完全房室傳導阻斷的胎兒，效用就沒有那麼好
3. 如果出現胎兒水腫，使用類固醇有時候可以 #改善水腫嚴重程度
4. 長期使用類固醇，對於胎兒還是會有一些影響，如 #羊水過少，#胎兒生長遲滯等，因此要衡量一下利弊
5. anti-Ro/SSA, anti-La/SSB抗體陽性的個案，AVBII沒有辦法自發性地回復到正常，但是如果有使用類固醇，就有機會會回復

哮喘並非想像中的輕鬆

在日常問診的時候，不難發現很多病人都有不同程度的長期咳嗽問題。

有些病人小時候有哮喘，每當換季或做運動時需要用到一些藥物減輕呼吸困難，但長大後便漸漸穩定下來。但有些病人卻未必那麼幸運，哮喘病情一直以來都未曾好過，仍然常常受哮喘困擾。

那麼，到底什麼是哮喘？跟一般感冒的咳嗽有什麼分別？

哮喘是是過敏鐵三角（Atopy）的其中一員
1. 哮喘（Asthma）
2. 鼻敏感（Allergic Rhinitis）
3. 濕疹（異位性皮膚炎）（Atopic Dermatitis）

哮喘大部分都是因過敏反應而產生免疫細胞和因子，例如Eosinophil, interleukin-4 and 5和IgE等，令呼吸道肌肉收縮和氣管收窄，導致呼吸困難的徵狀。過敏原因很多，可以是天氣轉變、常見的花粉、塵蟎和化妝品等等。

長期不受控的哮喘可引致呼吸道慢性炎症，長遠可引致呼吸道組織變異而令哮喘狀況惡況而不受控制，令藥物的效果變差。所以於哮喘早期時盡快治療和良好的長期控制便極為重要。

在香港，不少人都對哮喘認識不深，很多都把早期或慢性哮喘的徵狀當作是一般天氣轉變或小感冒去處理。但這樣是無法長遠控制好病情的。

跟大眾固有印象不同的是，常見哮喘徵狀並不只是咳嗽；胸口痛、喘嗚（Wheezing）、呼吸困難或過速、半夜咳醒或睡眠質素偏差、運動時體能不佳而動輒要停下來休息喘氣等都是常見的徵狀。

那麼，怎麼知道自己是不是患有哮喘？這種情況下便要諮詢醫生的意見，如有需要便會安排進行肺功能測試，如結果是呼吸道受阻而在使用藥物後有改善的話，便很可能有哮喘的問題。

一般來說，哮喘治療主要有以下幾種
1. Short Acting Beta-2 Receptor Agonist（SABA）
2. Short Acting Muscarinic Antagonist （SAMA）
3. Long Acting Beta-2 Agonist （LABA）
4. Long Acting Muscarinic Antagonist （LAMA）
5. Inhaled Corticosteroids （ICS）
6. Leukotriene Antagonist

這些藥物對哮喘到底有什麼功效？而什麼人應為用什麼藥物控制？

首先你需要先諮詢醫生再進行肺功能測試，判斷是否有氣道受阻（Airway obstruction）或氣管抽搐（Bronchospasm）的問題，而這些問題亦可透過氣管擴張劑（bronchodilator）減輕從而改善肺功能。

幾十年前哮喘來來去去都是靠俗稱為藍色噴霧的短效氣管擴張劑（SABA）例如salbutamol。一般來說輕度哮喘的確可以靠SABA在有徵狀時，例如換季、做運動或過敏時減輕徵狀令生活不致太受影響。然而研究發現高達七成的哮喘病人並未能良好的控制哮喘徵狀。[1][2]

很多人都以為哮喘只需要發作時吸一吸氣管擴張劑便會好，但其實如果是中等至嚴重級別的哮喘，單靠短效氣管擴張劑並不能完全控制。SABA亦非沒有副作用，常見的副作用為心跳過速，當病人病情不穩需要不斷使用SABA時，便可能出現以下問題

1. 心跳過速至不適或頭痛
2. 生活質素被哮喘徵狀嚴重影響，例如半夜咳醒需要吸SABA或未能進行運動，因休息不足而經常疲累
3. 哮喘從根本上並未受到控制，長期炎症和過敏反應令氣道組織變異，導致哮喘持續惡化

因此近年愈來愈多新型藥物能提供長久的哮喘控制。當中以吸入性類固醇（ICS）和長效氣管擴張劑（LABA）最為革命性的發展。

吸入性類固醇針對身體因過敏反應所產生導致炎症和氣管收縮的問題，透過壓抑過敏和炎症而紓緩徵狀同時減少長期過敏發炎引致的氣道組織變異。

長效氣管擴張劑例如Salmeterol和Formoterol，跟短效最大的分別是，長效一天只要噴一至兩次，短效在中等至嚴重的患者可能需要每數小時噴上6次甚至更頻密，頻密地使用氣管擴張劑增加了副作用的產生和生活質素的影響。

傳統長效氣管擴張劑能產生長效藥力紓緩氣管收縮、咳嗽和呼吸困難的徵狀，務求達到改善生活質素，讓患者不用半夜醒來或日間經常要停下來吸SABA。近年更有新一代Ultra Long Acting beta2-agonist例如vilanterol，從而達至更穩定和長效的徵狀紓緩。

令人無奈的是，哮喘可以說是一場長期的戰爭，當你日以繼夜夜以繼日要噴氣管擴張劑時，不少患者都會感到無助令大家久而久之不再跟足醫生或藥劑師建議，間中不適才噴一下，令病情未能得到良好控制。

因此，另一個革命性的改變便是combined inhaler，近年不少吸入性哮喘藥物均為混合式，吸一次等於吸了兩種藥物，例如大家可能都見過的Fluticasone/Sameterol和Budesonide/Formoterol。較新的有超長效混合藥物，藥效可持續12-24小時，例如Fluticasone/Vilanterol。這些混合式藥物大大減少病人每天需要使用吸入器的次數，令更多病人更願意持續的使用，

最後想提提大家，使用吸入式噴劑的技巧非常重要，研究發現不少患者技巧欠佳令不少藥物只噴在口內無法成功到達氣管內[3]。近年不少新型吸入式device有特別設計改善這問題，由於種類太多，強烈建議你諮詢你的家庭醫生、護士或藥劑師建議以及讓醫護人員評估你的使用技巧。

視乎患者的臨床狀況，一些病人只需要間中用到SABA；一些病人需要用到SABA+SAMA；嚴重點的病人需要用到SABA+LABA+ICS；醫生可能建議病人使用不同的combination以控制哮喘，所以患有哮喘的話，請務必定期與家庭醫生跟進。

*新型藥物如生物製劑（IgE-inhibitor或Eosinophil Inhibitor或IL-4/5 Inhibitor）由於太複雜的關係便不在此講解，留待下次有機會再跟大家分享。

NẾU TRỊ MỤN HOÀI KHÔNG HẾT THÌ ĐỌC BÀI NÀY NHA

NGUYÊN NHÂN GÂY MỤN
Nguyên nhân gây mụn là do lỗ chân lông của chúng ta bị tắc nghẽn do dầu, da chết hoặc vi khuẩn.
Mỗi lỗ chân lông trên da là lỗ mở nang lông. Nang được tạo thành từ một sợi tóc và một tuyến bã nhờn. Tuyến dầu của chúng ta hoạt động bằng cách tiết ra bã nhờn, chất nhờn này đi theo các sợi lông, ra khỏi lỗ chân lông và tiết ra ngoài da của chúng ta để để giữ cho da được ẩm mượt và mềm mại. Nếu một hoặc vài bước trong quy trình này bị trục trặc thì chúng ta sẽ bị mụn. Ví dụ như da tiết quá nhiều dầu, da chết nhiều quá khiến lỗ chân lông bị bí, rồi vi khuẩn sinh sôi ở trong đó chẳng hạn. Mụn sẽ xuất hiện khi vi khuẩn phát triển trong lỗ chân lông bị tắc và dầu không thể thoát ra ngoài.

NHỮNG YẾU TỐ GÂY MỤN:
- Hormone bị thay đổi do dậy thì, mang thai, sinh con, hoặc một vài bệnh lý …
- Một số loại thuốc như thuốc ngừa thai, corticosteroids chẳng hạn
- Di truyền, sinh ra có tuyến dầu hoạt động mạnh (mấy bạn da nhờn, lỗ chân lông to là do di truyền)
- Ăn thức ăn có nhiều đường, tinh bột…
Việc đầu tiên khi bị mụn các nàng có thể thử chăm sóc da bằng một bộ trị mụn thật tốt. Ở trên thị trường có nhiều thương hiệu có dòng trị mụn Na đánh giá rất cao, đó là La Roche Posay, Vichy, Avene, hoặc CNP… Trợ lý cũ của Na dùng bộ Effaclar của La Roche Posay là hết sạch mụn. Mới đây, Na tặng cho 1 nhân viên ở DIYOU sản phẩm trị mụn của La Roche Posay và bạn dùng xong cũng hết mụn luôn đó. Bộ này các bé tuổi teen cũng dùng được nghen. Ai muốn mua ưu đãi bộ này thì vào link mua deal 18 đang được ưu đãi của La Roche Posay ở đây nha: http://bit.ly/LRPxHannahOlala
Nếu bạn bị mụn và bị thâm nữa thì nên mua tinh chất Effaclar giảm mụn giảm thâm

QUY TRÌNH DƯỠNG DA
1. Bạn cần làm sạch da thật tốt, tuy nhiên không nên rửa mặt quá 2 lần một ngày để không bị khô da.
2. Sau đó bạn nên thoa một loại serum hoặc kem trị mụn có những chất như salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, retinol, lưu huỳnh, hay tea tree oil chẳn hạn. Mỗi brand họ sẽ mix các thành phần khác nhau để cho ra kết quả tối ưu nhất. Các nàng nên chọn brand uy tín để mua nha.
3. Sau khi thoa sản phẩm điều trị mụn thì nên thoa một sản phẩm cấp ẩm, phục hồi và dịu nhẹ để da không bị khô, và đồng thời hỗ trợ điều trị mụn luôn. Như là kem Cicaplast của La Roche Posay nha. Em này giá rẻ nhưng rất tốt luôn.

CHẾ ĐỘ ĂN UỐNG:
- Tránh ăn những thức ăn có nhiều tinh bột và đường như cơm trắng, bánh mì trắng, các loại mì, ăn đồ ngọt. Ngoài ra cũng nên kiêng sữa tươi và thức ăn nhanh hoặc thức ăn có transfats, saturated fats
- Những thức ăn bạn nên tập trung ăn nhiều là rau xanh, uống nhiều nước, gạo lứt, cà chua, việt quất, hạt bí ngô, các loại hạt, những củ quả có màu vàng, màu cam như cà rốt, khoai lang, cam chẳng hạn.

CHẾ ĐỘ VỆ SINH
- Thay ga giường và vỏ gối thường xuyên, không nằm ngủ úp mặt xuống gối
- Gội đầu thường xuyên để dầu trên tóc không bám vào mặt
- Tránh để các kiểu tóc lòa xòa trước mặt làm bẩn da
- Không áp điện thoại trực tiếp vào da
- Tuyệt đối không sờ tay bẩn lên da
Lưu ý là phải thật kiên nhẫn, đi ngủ sớm và đủ giấc, không sờ mụn, không nặn mụn non khi đang điều trị nha.

Nếu bạn bị mụn lâu ngày không hết, dù đã thử điều trị ở nhà thì hãy đi khám bác sỹ da liễu và có thể cân nhắc làm các xét nghiệm máu để xem hormone có cân bằng không. Có một số người bị u nang buồng trứng hoặc những bệnh khác gây mất cân bằng hormone dẫn đến tuyến dầu hoạt động quá mức gây mụn. Ngoài ra, nếu tình trạng mụn là do thuốc ngừa thai thì có thể cân nhắc sử dụng một phương pháp ngừa thai khác. Trong trường hợp bị mụn nặng bác sĩ có thể kê thuốc cho mình. Tuy nhiên các loại thuốc trị mụn uống lâu không tốt nên các bạn hạn chế dùng phương pháp này nhé.

TRỊ THÂM MỤN:
Na thấy việc trị thâm mụn còn cực khổ và dai dẳng hơn cả việc điều trị mụn. Đây cũng là lý do các bác sỹ khuyên không nên nặn mụn vì sẽ để lại vết thâm rất lâu. Na khuyên các nàng song song với việc điều trị mụn nên dùng các sản phẩm trị thâm luôn như là serum Effaclar của La Roche Posay, BHA, AHA hoặc retinol. Ngoài ra, sau khi hết mụn thì nên sử dụng thêm các sản phẩm làm sáng da như vitamin C, Arbutin, tinh chất hoa mẫu đơn … nếu có điều kiện nên cân nhắc bắn laser để nhanh hết hơn.

CHĂM SÓC SAU ĐIỀU TRỊ:
Đa số người khi da bị mụn rồi mới cuống lên tìm cách trị. Thường là chỉ tập trung thoa sản phẩm lên những nốt mụn đã nổi rồi chứ không điều trị những vùng da chưa nổi mụn. Và sau khi trị một thời gian thấy mụn giảm bớt thì ngưng không điều trị tiếp nên mụn lại tiếp tục mọc đợt mới. Đây là SAI LẦM mà nhiều người mắc phải khiến mụn mãi không hết. Vậy nên, khi đã hết mụn thì cũng phải duy trì chế độ làm sạch da kỹ, sau đó thoa các sản phẩm hỗ trợ làm thông thoáng lỗ chân lông như BHA/AHA để da luôn thông thoáng và mụn không có cơ hội mọc lên nghen các nàng.
Bài quá sức dài và Na phải viết mấy tiếng đồng hồ mới xong đó. Nhưng hy vọng những thông tin sẽ bổ ích cho những bạn đang loay hoay trị mụn nha.

P.S. La Roche Posay có sản phẩm trị mụn rất tốt, các nàng nên tham khảo nghen. Nhóm mình đang có ưu đãi ở đây: http://bit.ly/LRPxHannahOlala

Bạn nào bị mụn mà chưa có điều kiện mua sản phẩm tốt để dùng thì comment bên dưới, Na sẽ tặng 1 bạn may mắn set 18 bao gồm sữa rửa mặt, kem trị mụn, và kem dưỡng nghen.

À, còn bạn nào bị rỗ rồi thì có thể đăng ký ở đây để trị sẹo rỗ nghen: https://forms.gle/fGYpDCCutqL4JUnX6

P.S. Hình minh họa bên dưới là quá trình lên mụn đó. Bên trái ở bước 1 là lỗ chân lông đang bình thường, bước 3 bên phải là mụn nổi chình ình rồi nha.

Love,
Hannah
