Some examples are rheumatoid arthritis, where the immune system attacks the joints; celiac disease, where the lining of the small intestine is damaged; and Sjogren’s syndrome, where the glands producing tears and saliva are attacked.</li> <li>Certain diseases of the immune system, such as antibody deficiencies, primary immunodeficiency disease, or in some cases, HIV.</li> </ul> <p></p> During a visit to an allergist-immunologist, the physician may perform allergy testing to identify which substances are causing the allergic reactions. An important part of the care they provide is prevention education, where patients with allergies learn how to decrease their exposure to problematic substances and control their symptoms of allergic reaction. Allergists might prescribe medication, such as inhaled corticosteroids or beta agonists for asthma. They may also provide immunotherapy, where small amounts of the problem allergen are given via injection to the patient and the amount is increased slowly over time. The shots help the body get used to the allergen and train the immune system to react appropriately to it without causing problem symptoms. <p></p> Immune disorders can range from making patients uncomfortable to being life-threatening, and they are becoming more common.

Hormones are substances that act like chemical messengers between parts of the body. They are produced by glands, and travel in the bloodstream throughout the body where they act on different organs and cells to affect many different functions of life. Hormones control our appetite, growth, reproduction, and energy. When there is too little or too much of a hormone, an endocrinologist can help restore the balance. <p></p> Endocrinology problems are sometimes difficult and complex because hormones travel throughout the body and can affect more than one system. A single, simple imbalance can produce multiple, very different symptoms. Just a few of the diverse diseases treated by an endocrinologist include: <ul class='circle'> <li>Diabetes (where insulin is not produced in the body or is not working well, and blood sugar levels rise, which damages tissues)</li> <li>Hypothyroidism (where thyroid hormones are not produced well, reducing cell metabolism and energy)</li> <li>Precocious Puberty (where reproductive hormones are produced too early in a child’s life)</li> <li>Gigantism (where growth hormones are overproduced, leading to unusual size)</li> </ul> <p></p> Endocrinology can contain subspecialties where physicians focus their care on specific groups of patients.

Cancer is when cells in the human body grow in an abnormal or out-of-control way. The goal of oncology is to cure a patient’s cancer, or, if the cancer is incurable, to control the cancer and reduce the symptoms for as long as possible. <p></p> Oncologists have several roles in their interaction with patients. They diagnose cancer and determine what <i>stage</i> the cancer is in, or to what extent the cancer has grown. They explain the diagnosis and stage to the patient, and they recommend treatment and deliver care. During treatment, oncologists are responsible for maintaining quality of life for their patients by reducing pain and side effects from medications. <p></p> There are three main types of oncologists: <ul class='circle'> <li>Medical Oncologists specialize in the use of medications, especially chemotherapy, to kill cancer cells. In some areas, the term “medical oncologist” refers to the oncologist who is overall in charge of making decisions about a patient’s treatment.</li> <li>Surgical Oncologists specialize in surgical treatments for cancer, such as biopsies (where small tissue samples are taken and examined), or surgical removal of tumors and surrounding tissue.</li> <li>Radiation Oncologists specialize in the use of radiation (a kind of high powered x-ray) to kill cancer.</li> </ul> <p></p> The American Society of Clinical Oncology also recognizes the subspecialties of Gynecological Oncology, which focuses on cancers of the female reproductive tract, and Pediatric Oncology, which deals with cancers that are most common in childhood. <p></p> In the United States, nearly one-half of all men and one-third of all women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. It is an unfortunately common disease that can sometimes be life-threatening. Oncologists provide care to millions of people facing that diagnosis every year.">?</spa..." Line: 610 Column: 29 - 110

Optometrists are the medical providers who prescribe glasses and contact lenses, and they are usually the ones who perform annual eye exams. <p></p> Optometrists attend four years of graduate school after college to study the health, function, and care of the eye before they become licensed. They are not medical doctors, unlike <i>ophthalmologists</i>, so they cannot perform surgery. However, optometrists can diagnose diseases of the eye and prescribe vision therapy, medications, and vision correction, such as glasses. <p></p> Some common conditions that may be seen by an optometrist include: <ul class='circle'> <li>Refractive disorders, such as myopia and astigmatism, which require lenses to correct the vision</li> <li>Glaucoma, a condition where increased pressure within the eye leads to damage to the <i>optic nerve</i>, the nerve that carries light images from the eye to the brain</li> <li>Dry eye, where there are insufficient tears to lubricate the eye</li> <li>Common infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis</li> </ul> <p></p> An optometry exam involves checking the patient’s vision as well as the eye itself and the tissues surrounding the eye. Optometrists may check the pressure of the eye or test to see how well the eyes focus and move. They may ask about any problems, discomfort, or concerns the patient has experienced related to their eyes. <p></p> Optometrists are the first stop for most people who need a medical provider to care for their vision health.">?</spa..."

Orthopedic surgeons might also see patients for bone and joint deformities, amputation, infections of the bone and joint, overuse injuries, or nerve compression.</p> <p>Orthopedic surgeons can order tests such as blood work and x-rays to get a clearer picture of the issue.

Ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It measures the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer that are echoed back to the source.
docspot.com TRACEROUTE
Traceroute is a computer network diagnostic tool for displaying the route (path) and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. The history of the route is recorded as the round-trip times of the packets received from each successive host (remote node) in the route (path); the sum of the mean times in each hop is a measure of the total time spent to establish the connection. Traceroute proceeds unless all (three) sent packets are lost more than twice, then the connection is lost and the route cannot be evaluated.
