<description><![CDATA[Glaucoma is a leading cause of preventable vision loss in the United States, affecting an estimated 4 million people. Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that cause progressive damage to the optic nerve, resulting in reduced ability to see. Vision loss usually starts in the periphery, or off to the side, so a person may not notice problems with their vision until much damage has already occurred. Intraocular pressure, or IOP, is known to be a major factor in damage to the optic nerve, although other undetermined factors appear to be involved as well. If untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness.Glaucoma affects people of all ages, however African Americans, people over 60, and those with a family history of glaucoma are more susceptible. Once glaucoma has affected your vision there is no way to restore it, but medicine or surgical treatments are available to prevent further damage. The key to treating glaucoma is early detection, so it is critically important to see a Penn ophthalmologist for your annual screening.Learn more about Penn Eye CareGlaucoma Services

<title>Diabetes Awareness Month</title>
<link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/penn-medicine-newsletter/~3/YnUYc6VrG58/diabetes-awareness-month.html</link>
<description><![CDATA[Type 2 diabetes accounts for 90 to 95 percent of the 14 million diabetes cases in the United States. With an estimated 57 million Americans at risk, awareness and prevention are critical. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body becomes insulin resistant, meaning fat, liver and muscle cells do not process insulin correctly. Blood sugar that is unable to be stored in the proper cells builds up in the blood, resulting in high blood glucose levels — the cause of type 2 diabetes. 

People who are overweight and the elderly are more susceptible to insulin resistance. The best and most effective way to prevent and treat diabetes is by adopting a lifestyle of healthy eating and regular exercise. Though most people can manage their type 2 diabetes with lifestyle changes, some patients may require oral medication or insulin.

<description><![CDATA[An estimated 60 million Americans have heartburn symptoms at least once a month. Anyone experiencing heartburn more than twice a week could have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). GERD occurs when a muscle in the esophagus does not close properly, allowing stomach contents to leak back into the esophagus and cause irritation. Prolonged exposure can cause permanent damage, but most cases are treatable with lifestyle changes and medication.
