Rabies: A life taking disease caused by Insane Dog Biting

2012-01-02T07:48:00.000-08:00

Immediate vaccination can enhance the safety chances

Rabies (Hydrophobia) is a disease recognized by Insane Dog biting. In 19^th Century the Myxonigripada virus of this disease was revealed. This virus destroys the nervous system while entering into a healthy body. As a result of which a man dies becoming insane. What are the preventive measures of this disease and if anybody becomes the victim of it what should be done is being told in this Article. Be Reminded that International Day of Rabies has been celebrated every year on 28^th September in order to make public aware from the consequences of this disease

The Rabies virus travels through nerves and as soon reaches the brain the symptoms of rabies starts revealing one by one. The virus mainly accumulated in the Saliva of a victimized human or animal. The virus affects the nervous system badly and the symptoms start revealing within a week.

Among main symptoms the brain membrane swells and pouring of very much of saliva are included. The patient gets fits of Tatnus and his body stiffens, coming out of foam from mouth, gait alters, wobble in restlessness or lay in giddiness.

In other symptoms medium level temperature, headache, vomiting and hiccups, unable to swallow food, not feeling of appetite or thirst, fear of water, unbearable pain at the bitten place, increasing of fits due to slight essence smell or hearing of noise, low excretion of urine and with pain. Hearing of hidden voices, constant pain in stomach, confusion in brain faculties, escape of sleep at initial stages and after wards overwhelm of giddiness followed by unconsciousness and death occurs in the same condition.

The jaw of victimized patient gets hung out and whoever comes nearer to him he howls whereas the affected wild animal run away seeing a human and if the behavior of such animal turns out to be a pet animal then this is its cleverness and he may bite anytime calling your nearer.

Normally this disease transfers into human by biting or snapping of claw by a mad dog or mad animal. This disease can also be transferred into humans through dry particles of mad bat excretions. According to statistics 96% of this disease breeds due the biting of mad dog and in bats this disease breeds due to various viruses. This is called Lysssavirus 1 and European Bat Lyssavirus 2 .

The speed of spreading of disease depends upon the distance of affected part from the brain. Adults can tell which animal bit them but little children and dumb cannot tell. If any kind of mark is seen on the body of such people while sleeping or awaking and you get aware of the presence of any bat in the room then it should be understood that bat has done his work. Hence such people should be taken to hospital immediately for vaccination. The symptoms of disease often reveal extending from one week to six months. The death toll of humans and animals due to this disease is highest in Asia. Pakistan is on top of the list. Unfortunately, there is no certain treatment of this disease even in this modern medical science world. However, some lives can surely be saved by Compli Metri Medicine.

If carelessly the saliva of affected pet or wild animal drops on the handkerchief and face or eye was cleaned by it, even then this disease enters into the body. Therefore, such cloth or handkerchief should be burned out immediately and hands should be washed by anti-germinal medicines.

Sometimes we do not realize the disease in our pet animals and if it bites to any part of the body where there is some scratch, disease is also transferred into the body from that part. Therefore it should be our resort not to fondle so much to the pet animals that they become habitual of licking body. Also keep your pet animals away from wild animals. Often wild animals run away seeing a human and if it is not happening, do not go nearer to it as it is highly expected that it is a victim of rabies.

Likewise such people who work in a Laboratory where some research work is going on rabies virus they should also strictly comply with the health rules and people who keep pet animals and their care takers should also attend seriously to the preventive measures from rabies.

No matter how much you love your rabies affected animals, it must be avoided. Its behavior before and after would decide its madness. Observe such animals for ten days then decide whether it is mad or not. It is your foremost responsibility to get your pet animals injected against rabies. After getting aware of madness of animals, keep yourself away from it and inform the relevant department immediately so that they can hold it away or kill on the spot.

If mad animal bites, wash the wound with clean water within five minutes then apply tincture iodine on it and immediately take the patient to the casualty department of a hospital, since majority of hospitals do not have separate facility for rabies vaccination whereas tens of humans are bitten by mad animals daily.

If patient is taken immediately to the hospital, vaccination is given around the affected place. Rabies vaccination is given for 14 days in a belly. But now-a-days several types of injections are available to safeguard from this disease. Some injections are drunk while others are injected in thigh or belly. Doctor will inject whatever he deems proper. Besides, it is also your responsibility to inform your local health officer on biting of any mad animal. Immediate vaccination enhances the chances of safety.

Ultrasound is a big revolution in the medical field

2011-09-06T06:56:00.000-07:00

Nowadays different types ofcancers are being treated successfully with the help of Hi Fu technology

Ultrasound is a very usefuldiagnostic machine. With the help of ultrasound, scanning of stones in kidneysand gall bladder, diseases of liver such as Hepatitis, inflammation, tumor,children’s information in the womb of a pregnant woman, increase of men’sprostrate gland, heart and other numerous diseases are diagnosed easily. Howdoes an ultrasound machine works? In fact, it shows the sound waves convertinginto images on the screen. In this procedure, majority of people get worriedfor e.g. women fear that ultrasound rays may not harm their child, whereasvarious other people also have the same kind of fears, although they are nottrue. Ultrasound machine is not at all harmful for people Its work is positive,but some people use it negatively too for e.g. many hospitals discloses the sexof a child, which is against medical principles, because with the help of thismachine the sex of a child is known in a very early stages, which is increasingthe rate of illegal abortion. The diseases which are not diagnosed by urine andblood tests, ultrasound machine tells about them immediately. Even, if thekidneys and gall bladder stones are very minute, even then they can be seenthrough ultrasound machine. Similarly, the right position of the organs is alsoknown by ultrasound.

People often ask, when shouldultrasound be carried out? Its simple answer is whenever you feel abnormalchange or protuberance, have pain in the stomach, have swelling or stomach getsincrease abnormally, feel urine again and again and with burning, havecomplaints of Jaundice or chronic cough. Similarly, ultrasound is moreimportant for the growing age people, whether they have any illness or not, butconsultation from doctor is essential. Nowadays, not only diagnosis but alsosurgery is possible by ultrasound. In the latest guided ultrasound technologytaking out water from liver and lungs, cataract (kind of eye blindness)treatment, taking out of stomach water and ultrasound biopsy is front most. Inthe developed countries, by means of it (without knife operation) the surgeryof a child in the mother’s womb is also being carried out. Many useful livescan be saved by it. Further progress is going on in this useful method ofdiagnosis and now help of 3D and 4D ultrasound is also been taken.

FREQUENCY USAGE IN ULTRASOUND

Highest frequency waves are usedin Ultrasound. Human can hear frequency to the extent of 20 thousand hertz,whereas in ultrasound more than 500 to 1000 times sound waves are used. This issafest way of diagnosis, since no side effects are produced on the humanhealth.

DRINKING OF EXCESSIVE WATER

Whenever a women’s womb isexamined on ultrasound, she gets drunk more water, the purpose is to fill thebladder. By this way, intestines that are moved downwards they come upwardagain. By filling of water in the bladder, a window is created, at the sametime the sound pass though water, which clears the image of the lower organi.e. womb. In this way excessive drinking of water makes the diagnosis easier.

RISK OF ULTRASOUND

There is no risk to the humanbody in ultrasound. It is a simple method. Rays are not used in ultrasound asare used in X-Rays. That’s why the health organization of America F.D.A. hasdetermined it as a safe diagnostic method. I will explain the procedure ofgetting harm or not in a way that suppose X-Ray or Ultrasound is being carriedout of any organ, raise its temperature to 5 to 6 degrees from the bodytemperature and let it raised for 60 to 70 minutes, in this case the cells ofthat organ start getting harm. In ultrasound this temperature is raised only to1 degree and its duration is not more than 5 to 10 minutes, therefore, there isno harm and it is proved that it is a safe diagnostic method.

A 3D ultrasound of a human fetus aged 20 weeks

HISTORY OF ULTRASOUND

Ultrasound was first introducedin 1900. Navy used it for the first time. When big ships used to travel in thesea, with the help of ultrasound machine the under water mountains, glaciersand rocks were seen, for they do not hit with the lower part of the ship. Abouthalf century ago Douglas Howry did the ultrasound of a person after laying himin the tub. In 1958 Ian Donald forwarded this act. After showing a child in themother’s womb, he introduced revolution in the scientific field. At that timeit could not be used publicly. The reason was that machines were big and theprocedure was complex. But research was continuously going on, as the result ofwhich portable ultrasound machine came into being in 1975. After that itrevolutionized the medical field and this machine was started using for theservice of mankind.

BENEFITS OF ULTRASOUND

Before it, whenever any personfeels a slight pain in kidneys, the doctor used to suggest an I.V.P. test. Inthis test medicines are used that can have side effects and patient can getinvolved in a new pain, whereas in ultrasound, there is neither any pain norany complexity. On that, only in 2 minutes you come to know whether the reasonof pain is stone or any other disease. Similarly, this machine has made the testof different diseases easier and cheaper.

WHAT ULTRASOUND CAN TELL ABOUT THE GROWTH OF A CHILD?

Ultrasound can tell whether thegrowth of a child is going on normally. It can check heart palpitation of achild. It can also tell whether there is one child or more than one. It canalso tell whether the organs of a child are growing correctly, means child isnot a victim of any abnormality or disease or weather child is not growingoutside the womb etc.

OPERATION THROUGH ULTRASOUND

Before, whenever there is a tumorin the womb of a woman it was taken out through normal operation, which alsocaused pain to the patient. Now (in 2004) health organization of America F.D.A.has allowed carrying out a new procedure that is called MRI. In this method apatient is laid on an MRI machine. Afterwards ultrasound rays are thrown on thetumor. In two to three hours of this procedure tumor is burnt and finished.

Surprising thing is that patientdoes not feel any pain. This is a without knife operation. If a woman isemployed, she can go to her work after operation.

HI FU TECHONLOY

For now this technology iscarrying on in few countries such as Chinaand some other developed countries, whereas in Europe itis in a testifying stage. With the help of this technology chest, bladdercancer and cancers of different parts of the body are burnt. In thistechnology, the normal tissues of patient do not get any harm but only thoseparts are burnt that are produced by a disease.

Bathing --- General Health Warranty

2011-09-03T06:34:00.000-07:00

In summer season, 3 to 4 times bathing is also beneficial.

Increase the use of fountain; abstain from bathing immediately after meals.

Cleanliness is half faith. Bathing plays an important role in this respect. Further, it is also an important medium of keeping the general health. Health experts, think it as an important medium of protection from diseases and keeping the health up.

Bathing has different kinds for instance, bathing with pure natural water, with medicine mixed water and with steam etc. Bathing according to the skin temperature, creates tranquility in the disposition, whereas bathing with cold and hot water also mobilizes the body. It is important to know about the useful effects of bathing on general health, energetic effects on skin, and duties of skin.

Skin is not only covering our body but also providing beauty. It also performs the duty of our body parts safety including heart, lungs, kidneys and intestines etc. Further, besides keeping the performance of heart, and lungs in balance, it also excretes waste matters, keeps the body temperature moderate, it is also wealthy with the feeling of sense. In other words it is helpful in all the life generating activities. Therefore, it is utmost important taking care of its cleanliness and health.

The most important work of skin is the excretion of waste minerals and waste matters from the body in the shape of perspiration. People who do not bath, a layer is made on their bodies made of oily fluid excreted with perspiration, dust and germ present in the air, due to which unbearable smell comes out from the body. Besides, skin gets broken at many places due to itching and inflammation.

In order to prevent this unbearable smell, keeping the temperature normal and for the excretion of waste matters it is important taking bath two to three times or at least once daily. There is a possibility of closing the mouth of glands that excretes perspiration and oil which afterwards can develop into pimples and boils due to not bathing.

In summer the skin glands are more active to keep the temperature of the body normal. In such condition 2 to 3 times bathing can also be carried out daily. In winter when these glands are less active for the shortage of moisture in the air and therefore, daily once or in case of severe cold in alternate days bathing should be carried out in order to prevent the body temperature from falling and preventing skin from skin dandruff.

Similarly in winter, usage of soap should be decreased. In this season, excessive use of soap can develop skin dandruff and inflammation. For bathing, usage of fountain is the best medium. It is an important medium of keeping the whole body clean and providing freshness to the skin. After bathing also put some cold water on the skin and then rub the whole body thoroughly with dry towel. This action produces pleasurable effects on the body and skin gets energy as well.

This act is also an important medium of preventing from catarrh and flu, whereas bathing with slightly hot water produces soothing effects on the tense nerves and tired muscles. The bathing with slightly hot water before going to sleep is also helpful.

In case of pain in the thighs, hips and lower parts of the body, sitting in the slightly hot water is also beneficial. It proves helpful in anal inflammation, external piles and in urine pain. Bandages of cold water should be applied on forehead, hands and feet for reducing high fever, whereas bathing immediately after meal is injurious to health. Prevention should also be taken to bath with very hot and very cold water.

Skin diseases of Eyes

2011-09-01T03:55:00.000-07:00

Among many reasons allergy, velvet prayer sheet, nail polish, artificial colors, usage of jewelry and pollen season are top most reasons for skin diseases of eyes

Normally everybody faces various eyes’ pains in daily life. These are being discussed here briefly so that they can be prevented well as a first aid, because prevention is hundred times better than cure. In this respect we will first discuss about allergy or sensitivity which is very common. Among external factors, environmental pollution, mental and physical tension, fatigue and presence of minute dust mites in the carpets not only becomes the reason of allergy and inflammation in the eyes but constant catarrh and fits of cough during night and breathing pains are also up front in this regard.

Presence of thick curtains also becomes the reason of dust mites, therefore never use prayer sheet made of velvet. It would be better if simple nylon mat is used for praying, which prevents nose and eyes allergy. In order to be safe from sunlight and air, it would be better using proper colored glasses (that can absorb sunlight).

By using different kinds of cosmetics for e.g. nail polish etc can also cause inflammation on the eyelids which is ignored by majority of people. Sprays used on body and hair are also a big cause of allergy. In some people plants are also a cause of allergy. In artificial jewelry, there is nickel, chrome, therefore, they not only become the cause of body allergy but also create itching and inflammation on the external lids of eyes, whereas hair color, henna powder can also cause allergy. People working in the parlor can also get caught of any allergy, besides hands allergy, due to sensitivity of face and eyes.

People suffering from by birth Eczema (Atopic) are specifically affects much due to eyes sensitivity. Normally a constant line of inflammation is created below the eyes of these people. Due to constant itching, eyes become deprived of lashes and become inflammatory.

Such people are much affected with Hay fever. In this condition, redness appears suddenly in the eyes and water starts flowing from nose and eyes. They sneeze much, then suddenly this fits ends up and eyes become normal again. The attack of this disease occurs much during pollination season, i.e. during the flying of pollen grains through air from one place to another.

During the same process the presence of pollens in the air becomes the reason of catarrh, flu (Hay Fever). But this fits attack is temporary and recovered soon after taking anti allergic medicines.

Test for the presence of IGE and Oesinophils in the blood of Atopic people (chronic Eczema or Asthma patients) is found helpful. In Atopic people, a folding line is often found under the lower lip of eyes, which is an important symptom of by birth Eczema.

Other reasons of eyelids’ inflammation should also be kept in mind, which are developed due to the disturbance in thyroid kidneys but its treatment is possible with the help of proper test. The easiest and simplest among them all is the normal test of urine. The clues sought by this simple test are proved very much beneficial.

Seborrheic Eczema is very common. This condition is also called dandruff in the head, which is a very common disease. The falling dandruff from the head affects eyelashes, eyebrows, face, back and chest and becomes the reason of itching, redness and pain at these places.

In this condition eyes become red and a layer of dandruff sticks on the eye lashes, which afterwards cause itching and infection and small boils are grown. In severe conditions the patients cannot open eyes after waking in the morning due to their stickiness. Thin peels are gathered on the eyelashes and being affected sometimes eyelashes fall down. This condition becomes severe due to mental tension, physical fatigue and sunlight.

In hot countries, especially in summer season and a little change in the climate can also produce this condition, as a result pimples, wounds and red peels get apparent on the line of eye lashes. This is a secondary condition of dandruff and in this skin demands treatment and care.

For e.g. washing of eye lashes with closed eyes with any baby shampoo and further eyes should be washed 3 or 4 times in a day with a wet, clean and soft cloth in order to overcome dandruff. The best treatment of this disease is shampooing the hair daily and regularly, but only the use of baby lotion is not enough.

Finally, the most common condition is the epidemic eye pain, in which many people get affected at the same time. In this condition redness and pain occurs in the eyes and sunlight is felt too much irritating. Usage of black colored glasses is useful for its cure. Since, it is a contagious disease; therefore, towel of the patient should be separated from other people’s towel. When a yellowish like matter starts gathering in the eyes and eyes get stick together, in this condition eyes should be washed many times with water in a day and any anti-germinal drops or cream should be applied in the eyes until cured.

Anybody can be victimized of Cystitis

2011-08-30T06:40:00.002-07:00

The patients of cystitis should drink enough water.

Practicing the basic rules of health and cleanliness, one can keep himself safe from this chronic disease

In medical terminology the inflammation of urinary bladder is called cystitis. This inflammation occurs due to bacterial germ infection which is more common in women as compared to men.

According to the experts every second woman of the world becomes its victim twice in a life time. There is no age fixed getting victimized of this disease, but normally people less than 40 years of age are found suffering from this disease.

The most important thing in this respect is that this disease is ignored in the initial stages, thus it becomes acute and the treatment becomes rather difficult because the disease attacks again and again and thus creates several complexities. Therefore, it must be bear in mind that as soon as the symptoms of disease are apparent in any man or woman, they should consult the doctor without any delay and get rid of this disease immediately, since delay can become the cause of regret.

The reason of disease is infection but different germ can also become the cause of this disease. An “Ascharachiacolai bacterium” is the cause of this disease in 70% patients. The germ entering from urethra into the bladder and becomes the reason of disease. It should be remembered that bladder is also an important organ like other organs, which is situated at the lower part of abdomen on the front side little bit below the navel.

Urine gathers in the bladder passing through the ureter drop by drop falling from the kidneys and when bladder gets full, a person naturally feels the need of passing urine out of the body through urethra. This is a specific act, which carries out normally but when bladder is infected, this natural mechanism gets affected and its routine obstructed.

In the symptoms of this disease patient feels the need of passing urine again and again. Even after emptying the bladder, the desire of passing urine remains. This condition occurs due to Tetanus in the infectious muscular walls of the bladder. Patient feels a little bit of irritation while passing urine and pain at the point of bladder because due to inflammation urine becomes very much acidic and while passing it is a very painful act.

Sometimes patient pass smelling urine and sometimes there is mixture of blood and pus in the urine. In the severe attack of disease a person suffers from cold and high fever and shivering take over him. These are the specific symptoms, due to which diagnosing of the disease is not difficult. Besides, the microscopic examination of Urine is also very beneficial in the diagnosis of the disease. Another test of urine which is called culture and sensitivity test makes the diagnosis quite easier. In this test, the urine of a patient is sent to laboratory in a clean bottle, the result of which is received in 48 hours that inform us about the specific germs that is the cause of disease.

Further the choice of effective anti-bacterial medicine is also proved helpful, as far as the reason of disease is concerned, there is not any specific reason of this disease. Among many reasons any one attack can be the start of disease. In few people the wrong way of cleanliness after passing of wastage in the toilet becomes the reason, whereas in few people the excessive use of tea, coffee and alcohol become the reason.

Besides, the Nylon underwear, washing of clothes especially under garments with a chemically treated washing powder can exhilarate the disease. Besides, it can also be due to the infection in the surrounding organs. For instance Gonorrhea, inflammation of the prostate gland, narrowness of urinary tract, tilting of womb from its place, presence of stones in the bladder can also become the cause of this disease.

It is necessary, consulting a qualified doctor for the treatment because the correct diagnosis and prescription of effective medicines can only be carried out by an authorized doctor. Consulting a quack at this stage is equal to suicide. Treatment from a quack can make this disease more complicated.

Unfortunately, if anybody gets caught of this disease, the best way of handling it is to drinking a lot of water. Certainly patient will think that by drinking excessive water he will pass more urine and he thus have to go through this painful condition again and again, which the patient of cystitis has to face while passing urine, but the reality is absolutely against it. The excessive use of water reduces the pain and irritation because Urine becomes acidic in this disease. The little amount of acidic urine cause great pain and in order to get rid of this pain bladder instigates the desire of passing urine again and again.

Therefore, excessive use of water reduces the acidity in the urine due to which the intensity of pain and irritation also reduces. Besides, the best trick of saving from disease is to adopt precautionary measures. You must have heard “Prevention is better than cure”. Health is a unique blessing of God. Only a patient can realize its true value. What a wonderful saying somebody has said, “Health is that crown on the head of a healthy person that only sick person can see.” Therefore, by adopting preventive measures and abiding by the basic health and cleanliness rules, one can save himself from the burden of treatment and pains of the disease.

Dementia can be inherited

2011-07-31T10:19:00.000-07:00

High blood pressure, excessive use of headache medicines, any brain injury, brain T.B., and working in tension are some of the important reasons of Dementia disease.

Forgetting sometimes anything, anybody’s name or location is a natural process but regular occurrences of these incidents are the symptoms of disease. Disorganization in life, too much responsibilities and work, worries, working like a robot where there is no presence of mind and some natural carelessness gives way to the disease of forgetfulness. With the rising age some diseases can take place but forgetfulness is a very torturing disease that creates social problems.

If the disease prolongs, mental abilities start depreciating and a person become deprive of making right decisions due to which his daily works and other life’s matters affect much. The brain cells of the affected person slowly and gradually keep on becoming useless along with the age and the time comes when he cannot even take care of himself.

In younger age, carelessness and sense of responsibility plays an important role in developing dementia, whereas in old age, high blood pressure makes the brain cells weak. Similarly excessive use of alcohol and laxatives also develops headaches and disturbance in memory. The deficiency of Vitamin B12 and folic acid are also its big reason, whereas contagious diseases that affect the spinal cord, working in depression and tension can become the causes of forgetfulness.

In few people this disease is inherited. In the beginning a person forgets the events occurred in the near past but he remembers well the old events. That’s why a patient can be doubted in the beginning of diseases. In this disease patient forgets after saying something or keeping thing at some place, forgets after eating food and thus demand for food again and again. In the severity of disease, the patient forgets the name of relatives, even the numbers and names of his children. He tries to tell the numbers of children counting on fingers.

The majority of patients become the target of society’s ridicule and mockery. It is essential that the place of surrounding things of the patient should not be changed. A minor change in the room can create problems for them. For instance the place of cupboard or changing the order of things in the cupboard can put patient into trouble.

Similarly, married children are always desirous of taking their parents to their homes for a month or two. This change of environment creates great difficulty for the dementia people. They feel difficulty in sleeping, working, walking, bathing etc., and if everything like sleeping, working, eating, visiting etc would be performed at the specific timings the patient feels relief.

In some instances the dementia patients are left alone, which is absolutely wrong, this way patient feels him lonely and can get into depression.

Some works should be given to them regularly for e.g. make them play carom board, ludo or chess etc. Making them read the newspaper, magazines, providing entertainment through radio, television etc., is good for their health. Engage them in the care of flowers and plants, if there is no lawn in the house, make them practice of putting fertilizer in the pot and sowing wheat seeds in it, this has been proved best practice for the dementia patients.

The mental condition of dementia people is similar to children. Therefore, they need much affection, love and care. Thus, considering such people as children and treating them like children is great, whereas, anger, irritation, intolerance, cursing, insult can be destructive. Similarly, criticism and arguments is also harmful for such patients. In severity of diseases the memory of the patient deteriorates so much that if they happened to go out, they even forget the way back to their homes. Therefore, whenever they go out, some family member must accompany them. Along with milk, suitable diet, dry fruits, folic acid and B12, love and affection, care, service and supervision is the best and simple treatment of oblivious people than can enable them passing a happy and pleasurable life.

Excessive heat and its bad effects

2011-07-09T02:42:00.000-07:00

Pass vacation at some windy location, you will be safe from various diseases

Get your children take bath daily, Make them wear cotton clothes and make them wash their mouth after eating mangoes.

Nowadays climate is very hot. On top of it the daily load shedding of electricity and scarcity of water, especially in the developing countries have not only created bitterness and irritation in the temperament but also created harmful effects on the skin as well. The most important condition of it is the severity of rashes, which is called in Medical terminology as Red miliara.

There are many glands of perspiration in our skin which are in the form of zig zag tubes and open in the upper side along with the root of the hair. When this tube gets closed due to excessive perspiration, the internal pressure bursts the tube and the elements of sweat gather at the bottom of the skin which appears on the skin in the shape of pustules. One thing is worth mentioning here that if once these pustules develop in any summer season they continue developing every year in other summer seasons and continue harming the perspiration tubes as well. Children are affected much due to these summer pustules.

Seemingly they are 1-2 mm sized red colored pustules. Due to their presence every where on the body, they becomes clusters and eventually takes the shape of Eczema. Light heat pustules are tolerable but if they multiply, they can create a big problem. The most important and painful thing they create is the rise and fall of the body temperature, which creates bad effects in the human disposition that includes irritation, indifference attitude, lack of appetite, giddiness, headache etc. All these effects are due to hindrance in the excretion of perspiration because this way the toxic matters of the glands could not come out and the internal temperature of the human body remains disturbed. Besides, concerns also develop regarding infection in the glands that may result in the shape of different kinds of boils and pimples.

Another form of infection is the appearance of blisters on the skin. These blisters are quite big and filled with yellowish muddy matter; the various germs present in this matter continue developing this matter that worsens the condition. Another complexity of these rashes is the development of eczema and scabies. This is quite painful condition. These summer rashes are in abundance at places that are being rubbed regularly by the clothes. For instance they are greater in number at the back, waist and arms etc.

Initially these rashes are smaller in size, which afterwards burst and looks like husks on the skin. When these pimples are at the internal parts of armpits and joints for e.g. at knees, elbow and the joints of thigh, they cause great pain. In this condition it becomes quite hard differentiating between Fungus and Eczema. However, it is important to differentiate them since their treatment is also different. In summer, not only fungus but other skin diseases also reproduce themselves. Among these diseases, the disease of discoloration or spots on the skin is worth mentioning.

Now it would be suitable if we mention about the prevention and cure of these diseases. As far as prevention is concerned, it is only possible if you safeguard yourself from perspiration and it is only possible if patient pass most of the time at some cool place, whether for few hours. If there is a facility of Air-condition, then passing of few hours can reduce the severity of the disease. In summer vacation it is ideal passing this period at some cool and breezy place, otherwise due to the excessive heat your body can become the resident of pimples.

Excessive use of water is also essential because perspiration keeps on excreting in the shape of minerals but at the same time excess usage of soap should also be minimized. Taking of vitamin C in the shape of pills or in the shape of juices, fruit etc. is very much beneficial to health. If little bit of coconut oil is mixed in Calamine Lotion and applied on the summer pimple, it gives lot of satisfaction. But remember the real purpose should be stopping of perspiration because this affects the glands and the tendency of making of pimples continue rising in every summer.

Attire must be of cotton and light for e.g. of lawn etc, Usage of light colors in summer is better, Polyester made clothes are the big reason of these pimples, where as they also play a great role in development of fungus etc. Due to these clothes perspiration does not evaporates and continue flowing on the skin, which results in fungus.

In summer season, the usage of cotton clothes help evaporating perspiration that dry out later and does not gather on the skin. As a result the internal temperature of body remains moderate and other glands of perspiration also remains open. The entire disturbance is created by the closing of these glands. Due to non evaporation of perspiration, the internal temperature rises to a great extent and results in pustules.

Its example can be given with that of Air conditioner grid which in case gets closed due to dust or dirt then the Air conditioning works gets disturbed as well. Likewise there is a risk of heat stroke due to rising temperature, which is a life taking situation. The glands get infected when closed due to accumulation of perspiration, which results in pimples and boils at every place of the body.

Sometimes, this infection can be serious as well. Therefore, small children should be cared much in summer season. Majority of children remain busy in playing without any sense of heat. During this time it should be taken special care that they would not go in any suffocated environment and closed rooms or at places that are not airy. Another possible complexity can be that sometimes these glands break permanently and as a result cannot function properly. Therefore, the prevention from this possible complexity is also important. Sometimes, the various skin diseases such as the presence of Eczema also become the reason of stoppage of perspiration. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of this situation without any delay is also essential.

We have been listening from the elders that until rain showers on the Mango crop, its usage is harmful and if mangoes are eaten before rain they become the reason of summer pimples. In this regard it is requested that there is no relation of pimples and boils with mango. The reality is that in the summer season the crop of mango gets ready and summer pimples also break out in the same season. Therefore, there is no direct relation of it with rain except that due to rain, pimples and heat reduces automatically.

However, it must be in you observation that after eating mangoes, especially children feel itching around the mouth. The reason for it is a kind of matter that is excreted from the top of the mango that creates irritation on the skin and by rubbing, it develops into pimples. The best prevention is that the mouth should be washed thoroughly after eating mangoes. Special care must be taken in case of children. The most dangerous situation in this season is of heat stroke. Therefore, prevent yourself as much as possible from coming out of the house in severe heat when hot breeze would be blowing.

Raw Fruits and Vegetables

2011-07-02T23:33:00.000-07:00

Less work, More Benefit

The food that we buy from stores consists of many chemicals. We should also use such diet which is absorbable, can be chewed easily and enhance our health by giving us energy, but we kill the real nutrients which are essential for keeping us alive and providing health by cooking food much, on the other hand raw vegetables, fruit and beans are absolutely suitable for human body. There are many benefits of fresh fruit, vegetables and beans. There usage saves us from many diseases such as diabetes, pimples, waist ache, neck and joint ache, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, severe Alzheimer, high blood pressure, depression, recklessness, despair, skin diseases, fatigue and cancer etc. One of its great advantages for women is that they enhance their beauty. Their usage makes skin shiny, tender, hairs bright, eyes sharp and healthy and body fit. Freshness and liveliness comes on the face and women look younger than their age.

Raw food keeps best balance of water, food and fiber, which is absolutely necessary for body. They have their own natural taste. They can reduce the acidity of salts, sugar, spices, pickle, sauce etc. Besides, less time is required for their preparation and its rather easier cleaning the kitchen after their preparation. Therefore, in summer when you do not like to step into the kitchen, it is better you should pay heed to this clean and healthy diet rather standing up in kitchen for hours. They are not only comparatively cheaper but they also save you from the bills of doctors and many health problems.

The diet experts suggest that you should start replacing your diet after the doctor’s advice. It should be kept in mind that for durable results this change should be gradually, so that digestive system starts accepting it. In the beginning it would not be easier for you to eat them. You many also feel great irritation. The best way is that first two days you should take 2% of fruits and vegetables in their real form daily. Then increase it to 10%. This way you can change 50% in five days. It is suggested to take 100% raw food 2 days in a month, when you have to make do the whole day only on shakes and vegetables. It takes time for the taste sense to accept different styles and setting up a routine. Therefore, if any person decides changing the diet, he should be very cautious.

Some health experts also suggest alternate ways such as not taking of anything before noon except raw and fresh fruits, vegetables or beans etc and then keeping the same routine as usual for the rest of the day. Once you are habitual of this routine then your can think supplementing some other diet with it.

Meat, which is full of proteins requires acidic environment in order to digest completely. Likewise things having starch (Potato etc) needs totally different environment for digestion and when these two totally different and opposite kinds unite in the stomach, the digestive system becomes weak and slow, which can invite many stomach diseases.

Therefore, in order to keep safe from diseases prefer taking fruits an empty stomach. Make a menu that consists of Protein and more vegetables or starch and more vegetables. Make 3 to 4 hours break certain between two eating times so that diet can be digested fully.

A brief Introduction on Vitiligo – A Skin Disease

2011-06-28T04:57:00.000-07:00

Use of Antiseptic Soap or Beauty Cream is dangerous without the prescription of a Skin Specialist

People having Vitiligo face tremendous social and psychological difficulties. In this disease white stains are put on the skin. Most of the people think that this disease is not treatable, which is absolutely wrong. As skin diseases are apparent on the body, therefore, skin affected people have to face tremendous social and psychological issues. Sometimes there psychological condition deteriorates so much that they start thinking about committing suicide.

Sometimes, skin affected people are terminated from their employment because many people believe that these diseases are contagious. You can now easily imagine what would be their feelings at that time?

Most of the misinformed or ignorant people believe that skin diseases are contagious, which is totally wrong conception. We can see many doctors and medical staff treating their skin affected patients in the hospitals but they are never caught by these diseases. It is also wrong assumption that if any of parents have Vitiligo, it can also be transferred to their children.

There are many kinds of Vitiligo. If there are 10% of Vitiligo stains on the face or body, it is treatable, and if they are present on more than 90% of body parts, its treatment is difficult. It is also worth mentioning that if there are stains of Vitiligo on belly, arms, face and eyes, there is a possibility of treatment but 100% guaranteed treatment has not been discovered yet. Treatment is also difficult if stains are present on lips, bony parts of a body for e.g. on hands, fingers etc.

Many self-taught people or quacks claims that they can treat Vitiligo 100% for sure and advertise so cleverly that innocent people get caught into their net. They only worsen the treatment of Vitiligo. However, there is no need of disappointment. We will see in the next paragraph, how it is treated.

Skin ointments and eating medicines are used for the treatment of Vitiligo. The latest and modern treatment of Vitiligo is carried out by Phototherapy. In phototherapy lamps of Ultraviolet Rays A and Ultraviolet Rays B are fixed that cast rays on the affected parts of the patient. Phototherapy is suggested to only those people who are not treated by medicines first. In case Phototherapy proves unaffected then Surgery is carried out, which is called Skin Grafting. The tragedy is that most of the people do not take skin diseases seriously; even they don’t consider them diseases and resultantly makes matters worst.

The most common skin diseases are Vitiligo, Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosocea, Epidemic Scabies, pimples and boils etc. Epidemic scabies and boils are commonly found in lower classes. The main reasons for it are lack of awareness, unsatisfactory cleanliness conditions and procrastination in the treatment etc.

Allergy is that condition where skin becomes sensitive and develops redness which leads to itching. Allergy can be caused by many things for instance, many people feel allergy from Sunlight, metals, Jewelry, leather shoes, plastic utensils etc. Canvas shoes are suggested to people who feel allergy by leather shoes.

Most of the people have self-extracted thoughts about skin diseases or advertising companies have also misguided many people. For instance, if skin develops any kind of allergy or boils, people immediately start using antiseptic soaps. Advertising companies also tell the same thing to people, whereas skin specialist always suggest stopping of every kind of antiseptic soap usages and emphasize on using oil based soaps.

There is another wrong assumption that skin diseases are caused by germs. Remember, most of the skin diseases have no relation with germs. In this context, the usage of antiseptic soap only exhilarates the disease, since it removes the natural moisture of the skin. For instance in case of Eczema, the usage of antiseptic exhilarates the disease.

Another wrong assumption is that Vitiligio is caused by wrong selection of foods for e.g. many people believe that Vitiligio is caused if milk is taken just after eating fish. Conversely, the real reason of Vitiligio is disturbance in the resistance power, which kills the skin color making cells.

In children Fungal Infection is very common in which small stains are developed on the head due to dandruff. The hair falls from the affected parts. Besides, in small children white marks are developed on the face, which is a kind of Eczema, which many people think the deficiency of Calcium. It is also a wrong assumption.

Seasons are also the cause of skin diseases. In winter, the Eczema problems are on the higher side, because the skin becomes dry due to reduction in body moisture, whereas in summer season bacterial infection cause many skin problems.

Women are more cautious about the beauty of their face comparatively to men. Therefore, they are worried about pimples on the face, Acne, blotching, stains etc. but many women who are fond of making their face white, normally deformed their faces by the usage of advertising creams. Remember, the steroids present in these creams may whiten the face temporarily but their usage makes the skin soft and hair also grows on the face. There is no such medicine that can change the natural color of the skin but color can be improved by proper care. The freckles and the presence of hairs on the face of women can be treated by laser.

Cosmetology is a kind of Dermatology. Aging marks can also be removed by the help of Botox, Fillers and Lasers. Many centers of Botox and Lasers have been opened everywhere, where unqualified people (having M.B.B.S. Degree and few diplomas) are using this technology on people, which can be dangerous. Only qualified dermatologist can use these technologies successfully.

In conclusion, do not leave the skin wet after bathing, since germs breed only in moisture. Sprinkle face power between empty spaces of feet and hand fingers to remove the risk of fungal infection. Avoid using of antiseptic soap on your skin and take proper care of cleanliness.

The Presence of Cat or Cockroaches in the house can spread Asthma

2011-06-25T05:43:00.000-07:00

The use of Inhaler is not last rather basic treatment.

The way of living and genetics are the basic reasons for this disease.

Three Million people all over the world are the victim of Asthma. Climate change, environmental pollution and sub-standard way of living are the big causes of Asthma. Asthma is one of those diseases that are common in the world. Due to hindrance in the respiratory tract, the wheezing sound is heard while breathing, which is among the important symptoms of Asthma. There are two types of pains in Asthma, which includes firstly soreness in the respiratory track and secondly shrinking in the muscles of the respiratory track. The Asthma disease does not finish completely. Its symptoms and attack reveals by fits and starts. People who takes medicines regularly and abide by the doctor’s treatment, feel wellness in the lungs and their Asthma attacks reduces, whereas we cannot deny the importance of Inhaler in case of emergency.

Smoking, Pollution, Dust, Traffic Smoke and the excretion of cockroaches found in offices and homes are some important reason of this fatal disease. It is required to provide the Inhaler or pumps for the patients in all the hospitals and awareness should be developed that the use of Inhaler is more beneficial for them. It should be noticed that the Asthma World Day is celebrated on the first Tuesday of May every year.

WHAT IS ASTHMA AND WHAT ARE ITS CAUSES

Basically, Asthma is a disease of respiratory track. There is a thin membrane in the tract and due to soreness, its muscles becomes strict and wheezing sound is heard while taking breath out. Therefore, patient feels great difficulty in breathing. It is difficult to tell its causes for sure but there are three important factors that can cause Asthma. First is genetically, if any one of the parents has Asthma, there are 20% chances of Asthma in the child and if both parents have Asthma, there are 40% chances of Asthma in the child. Second cause is lifestyle. These days the uses of blinds, sofas and carpets have been increased drastically due to luxurious lifestyle. Much dust and dirt is accumulated in the closed rooms and when children play and walk in these rooms, there respiratory track becomes sensitive. In Medical terminology such goods are called “Allergen”. If sneezing occurs due to dirt, dust or aroma then this is due to Allergen. Likewise if somebody smokes in front of the pregnant mother or if mother smokes herself, the Asthma possibilities increases in a child too. One more thing that is necessary to mention is the environment of working places. Those people who works in Bakery, on Saw Machine, in Mills or on blanket or

Quilt factories, the possibilities of Asthma increase in them. In medical terminology it is called “Work Related Asthma”.

Normal concept is that it is a contagious but in reality it is not so rather it is a disease of genetics which prevails from parent’s blood.According to a research report this disease is mostly common in children and approximately 10% children and 5% elders are patient of Asthma.

The people who are the victim of nose or skin allergy, the possibilities of Asthma increases in them, therefore, they should keep a check on cold and flu.

SYMPTOMS OF ASTHMA

Basically, there are three important symptoms of Asthma, Coughing, puffing of breath and wheezing sound while breathing. It is not essential that all the three symptoms are found in any patient at a time. If any one symptom occurs repeatedly with breaks, it should be presumed the hint of Asthma. Majority of patients and doctors think that unless the patient is breathing like piston, he does not have Asthma. Majority of people goes to the doctor having cough complain that can be due to Asthma.

The blood test and X-Rays are not very much beneficial in the diagnosis of Asthma but the respiratory test is essential. This is carried out by a common instrument called Peak Flow Meter. The hindrance of respiration is measured by means of it. This small instrument not only helps in diagnosing but also in measuring the severity of Asthma, simultaneously it also tells how much extent medicines are proving fruitful in its cure. But, unfortunately, majority of doctors do not keep this instrument in their clinics. As fever without thermometer, blood pressure without blood pressure measuring instrument, the quantity of sugar in the blood without Glucometer cannot be measured; likewise the diagnosis and severity of Asthma cannot be measured without Peak Flow Meter. Every doctor should keep this instrument in his clinic. It is also not costly. You can get it in 8 to 9 dollars easily.

PREVENTION FROM ASTHMA

As far as treatment is concerned majority of people think that Asthma is a disease that goes with the death and this is a fact that Asthma is an everlasting disease. Often patients leave treatment on recovering from Asthma which raises complexities. The patient and his family members should continue treatment until doctor says. The treatment of Asthma is carried out by two types of medicines. One type of treatment is for immediate recovery from pain and second for the long term prevention from the disease. The first type of medicine should be used in severe pain while second one should be used until doctor forbids. The regular use of these medicines reduces fists. In countries where these medicines are used in abundance, it has been noticed that rate of death has been decreased considerably.

These medicines are in the shape of tablets, syrups and injections but for Asthma the best use of these medicines are in the shape of inhaler or respiratory pump, since by the use of pump the medicine treats at the same place where there is pain. The very little amount of this medicine shows its affects and there are no side effects of it as well.

Men and Women with a little difference are almost equally victims of Asthma. It is a misconception in the minds of people that usage of milk and rice is prohibited in Asthma, whereas this is a myth and in reality milk and rice do not create phlegm rather phlegm is made by dust and dirt.

Pets and birds can also cause Asthma to people; especially cat is considered its big cause, since harmful proteins are extracted from its skin. Likewise the presence of cockroaches can also cause Asthma.

PREVENTIVE MEASURES FROM ASTHMA

First of all if you have a doubt of Asthma, authentic doctor should be consulted immediately. Restrain from those doctors who claim guaranteed recovery, because Asthma can never be treated completely. One should abstain from factors that cause Asthma. Among these factors smoking comes on top. Do not smoke yourself or allow anybody to smoke in front of you. Refrain from the use of coils, mosquito spray and use of pastels in the closed rooms. In Air-conditioned rooms the possibilities of the presence of Fungus is quite high. Asthma can also be caused by it. That’s why houses should be prevented from Fungus and cockroaches which excretion is another cause of Asthma.

There are some foods and drinks that cause Asthma that includes saccharine and cola drinks. The research experts say about these drinks that some color and chemicals are mixed in these drinks and they are kept in Tins for the long periods in order to avoid staleness. Constant usage of these things can also cause Asthma and therefore should be avoided. Likewise, patients should use medicines regularly until doctor forbids. Do not leave the treatment incomplete. By following these preventive measures, one can save himself from Asthma.

Non certified doctors have advertised much about the treatment of Asthma through vaccination but this way of treatment is not only dangerous but also costly and majority of patients do not recover from it. Therefore, it is better to avoid this way of treatment.

The theme of this year is “You can also control Asthma yourself”. Keeping in view this motto I must say where there is a will there is a way. Do not get frightened in case you become victimized of Asthma rather treat it regularly and abide by the preventive measures strictly. In this way patient can recover soon and pass life like normal people. I must say that get as much knowledge about Asthma as you can, because the more knowledge you would have about Asthma, the sooner you would be able to control it.

The Fatness disease has been doubled during the last 30 years in the world

2011-06-19T17:41:00.000-07:00

A new thing that comes up in a new research is that since 1980, the fatness disease has been doubled in the world. However another same kind of research shows that the people of wealthier countries are however succeeding in controlling their blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

This varied picture of health comes up by three studies that were published in a health magazine “Lanse” According to them whatever harms in European countries that fatness is causing are being overcome by the usage of medicines to some extent. However, fatness is still a bigger problem in almost all parts of the world.

According to the studies of 2008 the 10% men and 14% women of the world was the victim of fatness, whereas in 1980 this ratio was 5% in men and 8% in women, which means that in nearly 30 years fatness disease doubled in the world.

In few islands of Atlantic Ocean the body mass index (BMI) of people that means the measurement attained by the ratio of their height and weight was found around 34 to 35, whereas the people of more than 30 BMI are considered obese.

Among richer countries like in America the BMI of people has reached to 28 on average that means they are entering into the category of obese people. The ratio of obese people in New Zealand and Australia has been raised to greater extents too. If we talk about Europe women from Turkey and men from Democratic Czechoslovakia are considered among the highest BMI countries.

If we talk about Blood Pressure, then South Korea, Cambodia, Australia, Canada and America are the lowest blood pressure affected countries, whereas the higher blood pressure is of the people of Portugal, Finland and Norway. The blood pressure level is also higher in Africa and Balkan.

If we talk about Cholesterol then in Western Europe especially in Greenland, Iceland and Germany its ratio is on the highest side, whereas in Africa it is very low. Among richer countries, the lowest levels are in America, Canada and Sweden.

The professor of Imperial College London and the senior author of teaching obesity, Mr. Majid Ezati says that it is very strange thing that many countries have been succeeded in controlling Cholesterol and Blood Pressure but BMI is still constantly rising there.

As richer countries have reduced the usage of salt and increased the usage of healthy oils, likewise they can also bring further betterment in treatment by screening; that can reduce the risk factors associated to this disease.

On the other hand Mr. Laurance J. Checkson, the director of John Hopkins Weight Management Centre says that although Diabetes can be controlled by the usage of medicines and employing some other ways but obesity should also be controlled since it is the root of Diabetes. He further said that it would not be wrong if we say obesity as the mother of all the diseases, since the diseases of heart, High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and other similar fatal diseases are the result of obesity.

He added that it is not at all right to say that we as a person or as a nation cannot do much to control obesity. We are not becoming obese because there is some change coming in our gene but if we think on our food supply, environment and style of living, we can easily understand the reasons of our obesity.

Beating Heart Surgery

2011-05-29T04:04:00.000-07:00

The most modern way of coronary artery bypass operation

Angina (the chest pain) is the most common disease. Different ways are being adopted to control it for centuries. But the period before 1960 was not good for this common disease. The Angina patients use to bear the pain in the chest silently and often came across to heart attack as well. But in 1960 the new sun rises in this field. The name of this new sun was “Coronary Artery Bypass Operation.” The Medical fields turned a new leaf when in 1960 this innovative operation succeeded tremendously in controlling the Angina. Even today this magical operation is going on very successfully. There is still no alternate to coronary artery bypass operation to control the Angina.

In 1996, the Coronary Artery Bypass Operation met another landmark, when the expert surgeons invented new way to operate Coronary Artery Bypass. This way is called “Beating Heart Surgery.” Today Beating Heart Surgery is the most successful way of operating Coronary Artery Bypass. The purpose of this Article is to make you aware of the Beating Heart Surgery. But it would be useful to make you aware of the traditional Coronary Heart Bypass Operation briefly before telling details of the “Beating Heart Surgery.”

Before, 1960 Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery was not possible because surgery could not be carried out on the beating heart and in other words heart could not be stopped, since life totally depends on its beating. In 1954 a machine called “Heart Link Machine” was invented to overcome this problem. As it is obvious from its name that one part of this machine serves the function of the heart while other as the lung. This invention made it possible to operate the heart by stopping it and the circulation of blood could be handed over to this machine during operation. The heart link machine was the milestone in the heart surgery. It was made possible by this machine to carry out heart operations successfully. It was only due to this machine that millions of successful operations were carried out every year in the world. But by the passage of time the surgeons felt that although the usage of heart link machine does not cause any harm to the majority of patients but complexities can be brought up in some patients, which are as follows:

According to the research of the famous scientists “Stump and Rory”, the heart link machine can lead to:

Paralysis attack in 1 to 5% patients.

Kidney may get failed in few patients.

The heart link machine can put bad effects on the functions of the lungs.

During and after operation much blood is wasted by the usage of heart link machine.

Although the average rate of such patients is very less and the operation carried out by heart link machine is the safest and successful for the majority of the patients but improvement for the betterment is the basic element in the nature of human. The fruit of this research was reaped in 1996 in the shape of Beating Heart Surgery.

In America and Italy this year after the research of many years, instruments were developed to carry out operation on the beating heart, which are known by the names of start fish and octopus these days. These instruments made it possible to carry out coronary artery operation on the beating heart as successfully as was done by the heart link machine.

As in 1960, the invention of Heart Link Machine turned a new leaf, now-a-days the Beating Heart Surgery is very popular in the field of Heart Surgery. This is such a wonderful way of Coronary Artery Surgery that it has eliminated the risk of paralysis, failure of kidneys, the drawback in the function of lungs and excess blood wastage. The success ratio of this beating heart surgery is almost 100% and all the surgeons of the world are proving it.

According to the research of famous heart surgeon Kaylie Furay of Italy, the beating heart surgery is the most successful way of operating Coronary Artery Surgery in this modern age.

One of the advantages of beating heart surgery is that since heart is not stopped during operation, the patient recovered very soon. In this regard the American famous Heart Surgeon James Hart says, “I can very easily tell during ward round about patients who have been operated by beating heart surgery by viewing unique brightness and freshness on their faces.”

The most important benefit of Beating Heart Surgery is that the cost is less than traditional open heart bypass operation. The traditional Open Heart Surgery requires many disposable things for operating through Heart Link Machine, whereas in Beating Heart Surgery no such things are required. Likewise, the cost on Beating Heart Surgery falls down and due to this reduction that majority of patients now can take advantage of this most modern way of heart surgery.

Now tell us, what else heart patients require, the most modern and successful operation, elimination of complexities and cost is also reduced.

Computer Vision Syndrome

2011-05-16T05:04:00.000-07:00

This disease is not found in the text books

One can save from it by taking precaution in the use of computer

Now-a-days a new disease with the name of Computer Vision Syndrome has been becoming common. It is caused by continuous use of computer for hours. In the medical terminology this disease is called “CVS”. The disastrous rays coming out from the computer screen affects eyes insidiously and one cannot get acquainted of it.

People who use computer for three hours or more their eyes and eye “Retina” becomes weaker. In this disease symptom like tiredness of eyes, dimness in the vision, seeing of two things instead of one, redness in the eyes becomes apparent and the tubes keeping eyes moist becomes dry. It is better not to use computer continuously for hours. After hour or two, wash your eyes with fresh water.

No one can deny the fact that in the modern age computer has become the part and parcel of our lives. The world knowledge and communications are just one click far away. As the use of computer is increasing the new diseases and problems are also taking its place. According to a research, people who use the “Video Display Terminal” are victim of eye diseases more than those who do not use “Video Display Terminal”. The continuous use of Computer increases burden on the eyes and eyes problems are increasing accordingly. According to different statistics the “VDT” users have 75% to 90% eyes problems.

According to American Optometric Association many people becomes victim of eye and sight diseases due to excess computer usage. For instance the disease of Computer Vision Syndrome has come into existence.

People who uses computer for 6 to 8 hours daily without any break get caught to this disease soon. It is a natural phenomenon that due to blinking, eyes remains moist. Hence by using computer the eyes remain focused on the monitor which cause hurdle in the blinking due to which the Cornea affects adversely. Avoid constant computer usage and blink eyes while using computer. However, protected shield can also be fixed on the computer screen. Whose eye sight is weaker, should use multicoated number glasses and whose eyesight is not weak should use multicoated glasses without number.

Though there is no mention of this disease in the text books, it doesn’t mean that this disease is not present at all. In this disease eye drops are given to keep the ratio of moist constant in the eyes. However, this disease is of temporary nature and can be cured with better treatment. And to prevent this disease in the future, computer should be used carefully.

It can be useful to shut or blink eyes after every hour or half hour of computer usage. Focus on other things while working on computer, whereas the usage of Antiglare glasses is also beneficial. Human 80% learning process depends on eyes, which clears how much sight is important in our daily lives.

Abnormal children birth rate is higher in elder women

2011-05-16T04:52:00.000-07:00

Abnormal children birth rate is higher in elder women

In case of Abortion, there is no difficulty in conceiving again

The problems of Twins are equally two fold from birth till grown up

Precautions for the Pregnant Women

As soon as any woman gets pregnant, she should consult the doctor immediately. Blood, Urine, Ultrasound and various normal tests are useful. Ultrasound tells us whether the pregnancy is at the right place, whether it is one or more than one. It can be known by the Ultrasound that what kinds of medicines are needed for a pregnant. There are some medicines which are must for the pregnant. For the first three months they are given Folic Acid and after three months good iron and calcium is given. Therefore, it is essential to have a Special Ultrasound in the beginning and second Ultrasound in the fifth month so that if there is any abnormality in the child, parent could get aware of it well before.

It is not required to take heavy food during pregnancy. Just take balanced diet with much protein and less fat. Along side use excessively milk, fruits and fresh juices. Minerals and some supplement should be used as per doctor’s advice.

There are many complexities in pregnancy in women, which can be divided into various phases. In the first phase there are great chances of Abortion. Second problem is conceiving out of the womb. This is a very sensitive situation. Third problem is conceiving more than one pregnancy. Fourth problem is deteriorating pregnant’s own condition which includes excess vomiting and suffocation. The chances of abortion increases if the mouth of womb is weaker in any woman, Abortion can also takes place in the middle or it leads to blood pressure. If the Placenta of a child is at the wrong place means near the womb or ahead, the blood could leak from there. These problems can be carried forward in the third phase, which includes blood pressure and pains of placenta. In this phase often mothers have problem whether the child is erect or curved and the problems of maternity starts here.

1% to 2% women face the risk of high blood pressure. If checked regularly, this problem will never occur. Social problems are also associated with pregnancy. In case women would not get attention from husband, family or society, she could face high blood pressure. Anemia problem could also appear due to lack of appetite and these factors can lead to death.

It is a myth that if first pregnancy is destroyed, second one is complex to conceive. There are equal possibilities of abortion in the second pregnancy of a woman whose first was destroyed as compared to any other women. There is no truth in the saying that if the very first pregnancy results in abortion, there can be any difficulty in conceiving the second one.

Birth of Double Trunk Children

In Twins pregnancy, at a certain point the twins have to separate genetically. For this medicines are not necessary. This happens naturally. There is no connection of this procedure with standing or sitting, eating or marrying with the cousin of the pregnant.

Reasons of Twin Birth

The reason of twin children can be due to genetically reasons but geographical limitations also affects such as in African and West Indian women the rate of twins children is higher. Medically the reason for twin birth is that sometimes two eggs get fertilized means after conceiving the initial pregnancy, an egg coming from other side gets fertilized. Sometimes, there is only one pregnancy but due to cell division after some period it becomes two.

The risks in twin births is two fold for the mother for instance Diabetes, Blood Pressure, possibilities of dying of children in the mothers womb, abnormal deliveries, all these problems becomes two fold in case of twin pregnancy. There are complexities in delivery too.

Womb Operation

Womb operations have been increased due to awareness in women. Among other reasons, the excess of menstrual blood is also apparent which lead to ulcers in the womb or odenomyosis or muscles of the womb widens. Due to these reasons many defects develop in the womb. Therefore, it is better to remove the womb. If family is complete then the womb is removed otherwise only uterus is removed and womb is not removed.

Abnormal Children

The birth rate of abnormal children is directly related to women age. In 35 years of pregnant women there is possibility of 1 abnormal child out of 365. Likewise in 40 years of pregnant women it is 1 out of 100, whereas in 45 years of pregnant women it is 1 out of 25.

Anophelia, floppy baby syndrome, diseases of liver and enzymes etc. can transfer from mother to the child.

The rate of operated deliveries is 25% and normal is 75% in the world.

The pregnant mother is operated in the following cases

When the position of a child is not normal,
Uterus problem
Blood pressure or diabetes problem to the pregnant
The problem of child’s heart palpitation during pains to the pregnant
The mother’s own wish for operation in order to avoid pains.

If blood pressure is already higher in a pregnant and when delivery pains start, the blood pressure will rise even higher, which can lead to heart attack. Likewise if sugar is not in control and cholesterol starts passing though urine, then operation becomes must.

The mother recovered in 3 to 4 days in a normal case and 7 to 10 days in case of operation. It is required that mother should be given balanced diet and good medicine after the delivery.

The lack of sleep, humble people affects much

2011-05-07T11:12:00.000-07:00

According to American Military Research, the lack of sleep affects much to people who are humble and talkative people instead of silent people. 36 volunteers were hired for research. They were kept 36 hours sleepless. Since they were kept in a Hall, the humble people mix with each other whereas, the silent natured people liked to live alone. It was noticed that silent people did not face difficulty in wakening and their performance also remained better too in other tests performed later.

Two groups of 18 till 39 years age people were made during experiment and were made awake for the said period. Both type of groups were kept involved in different types of exercises and simultaneously testified for examining their wakening power. It was examined during experiments that very social people when kept alone, they too didn’t feel much difficulty and in spite of being social, and remaining away from people, their brain parts responsible for keeping them active didn’t get exhausted.

The scientist of Walter Red Army Institute of Maryland says that people related to Army who do not get enough sleep for hours due to their professional responsibilities. Not only their personalities help them doing work smoothly without proper sleep but also their social abilities and the shifts system plays an important role.

The reason for bad relations is lack of sleep

According to Britain Health organization “Mental Health Foundation” lack of sleep is a disease, which treatment is essential. It is said in the “Great British Sleep Report” issued by the above mentioned organization that there is relation among lack of sleep and bad relations, lack of energy and lack of concentration power. It should be clear that Medical Science has already proved that lack of sleep is one of the reasons of depression, lack of resistance power and heart diseases. Remember, it reveals in a survey that in Britain more than 30% people are victim of lack of sleep. An online survey was carried out for the preparation of this report. About 7 thousands people help was sought. It is said that in Britain this was the biggest survey of its kind. People who were worried about their lack of sleep showed much interest in the survey. However, this research could not reach at a certain point, but it helped understanding the lapse between sound sleep and lack of sleep. The research made it clear that people who are victim of lack of sleep, faces difficulties by 4 fold in maintaining a relation; there is a room for depression by 3 fold and again by 3 fold difficulties in focusing the attention.

The senior researcher “Dr. Deen Robothom” of Mental Health Foundation says that there is much more chance of mental diseases to people who are the victim of lack of sleep. Therefore, it is essential to create consciousness in the people.

Sleep More, Reduce Weight

Dieting is certainly a difficult work for weight reducers, but not sleeping, Yes! The latest research of Medical Science tells that while sleeping our body releases much fat. According to the research of “Internal Medicine” the body releases less fat of the people who take average 8.5 hours of sleep as compared to people who sleep 5.5 hours. After the experiment made on weighty people, it was revealed that more fat was released by people who slept more hours and when researchers reduces the time span of sleep to three hours, the fat also released less. The researchers say that because the stages of sleep affects on “Ghrelin”. Be ware that this hormone increases appetite and maintain the level of fat in the body. You will never desire to motivate this hormone when reducing your weight. The researchers say that lack of sleep increases the level of “Ghrelin” which affects reduction in weight. Therefore, keep work out of your brain in the night. Late comers should curse on the T.V. shows and should drown themselves in the valley of deep sleep while shutting their eyes. This is rather easier way of reducing weight than dieting and exercising.

What Statistics Say?

When you are turning restlessly in the bed at 3:00 p.m. or gazing the ceiling fan, it is likely that your mind would never have diverted on the following statistics. But we can guarantee you to the extent that you are not alone in the world facing this situation.

Today’s people sleep is 20% less than people of 100 years ago.

“Confidence” is the first step of success in the life!

2011-05-01T02:53:00.000-07:00

Every thing is not received just presented in a plate!

Only hard work, struggle and commitment drives you forward!

Develop your confidence and put confidence on others!

Confidence is a Strong Foundation!

The flying goose in the extensions of sky ridicule the crocodile stuck in the mud but when the same goose stuck in the mud, this time the ridiculing turn is of crocodile. Every day is not the same and life does not go straight in one way. There comes many turns in life and on each turn there is a woman too. Do not make mockery of women love, because it is possible that you find salvation in their lap, because everybody adore women, disregard to which relation or emotion he belongs.

It is a human nature that a person continues to move ahead in life, everybody is desirous of putting anchors on the stars. Human keep struggling to climb the ladder of success, then at last moves forward. It is important to get informed how the successful people achieved success in life. The most important factor is their commitment, staying with it and with the help of truthfulness, tenacity and honesty they achieved success.

We do many promises, and make claims of doing many works in our daily life, some are of common nature, such as willing to meet somebody, but could not attend to it due to other commitments. But some things are of special nature in our lives. It is a demand of wisdom and intellect to fulfill all the promises which we have made with others, so that people trust on us and keep trusting on us. This is a first landmark of success or first block on which the strong foundation of success could be built. Moving forward should be our objective.

Our respect and credibility is attached to our words, whether we keep our words or back out of our promises. People are recognized by it. Keeping promises, staying on it and acting on it, is the first door of training. People are groomed earlier since childhood, and then at last they are rewarded. The childhood training becomes instinct. Unfortunately, our problems develop due to the scarcity of these factors, which includes not keeping promises, wasting and losing of time is easier but bringing it to use is though hard but not impossible.

When you make promise with anybody, then it is must to keep that promise. It is rather easier to make promise after thorough thinking than backing out at the last moment. Therefore, it is important to cool mindedly decide before making a promise.

Priorities in life are also most important in our lives. You must think what to do today. How important it is. The lost time can never be recovered. Whatever you can do today, cannot be put off till tomorrow. By the rising age the capabilities, strength and will power continue to deteriorate. The instant decisions are decisive and successful. If you have a passion, never lose courage. Feel your priorities yourself, that where are you standing now today and where will the coming future demands take you to. Who has seen tomorrow, step forward today. The need of the best planning for doing work cannot be denied.

Examine all the aspects so that any thing might not become the hurdle of your way. Excess thought also make the mind stuck. We become week sticking in the doubts and uncertainties. Believe in God, Make use of His gifted hidden capabilities and get the key of success. You do not get everything presented in the plate. Struggle, dedication and effort can move you forward. Make these rules your mission in life. Make your plan and start your work after choosing the best direction. It is possible only when your struggles and direction do not contradict each other. If you are feeling hurdle again and again, discuss with your well-wisher definitely. Ask from God, He will certainly provide your mind a solution.

Likewise after overcoming the weakness in your way of reaching your objective, start over again. The truthfulness, God’s help, interest in work and time demand can provide you a required thrust for moving forward. As it is said, “One day life of a lion is better than 100 years life of a jackal.” Become valuable for yourself and also see the appreciation gloom in other’s eyes.

24 Hours of Fasting reduces the risk of Heart and Diabetes illnesses

2011-05-01T02:20:00.000-07:00

According to a recent research in America, it is manifested that if you keep fast any day in a month on continues and regular basis can reduce the risk of heart and diabetes illnesses. In respect to this study, doctors studied the health reasons of more than 200 residents of the American State Ota. It has been the tradition of these residents for a long time that they remain emptied stomach at least once in a month and restrain themselves from eating or drinking anything on that particular day.

The experts screened and X-Rayed these people. It was revealed that the people who did not keep fast for a day had found with arteries 75 % thin as compared with people who kept their stomach emptied for a day. On the other hand the thin and stuck arteries disturbed 63 % of those people who often ignored eating food.

It was also said in the conference of American College of Cardiology that as a result of fasting around 50% complaints of Diabetes has been reduced. In order to make sure that these results were not only for people whose life style or way of living was healthier and who used to keep fast too, the experts had gone through another study of people who were not regular faster.

Volunteers have been arranged for this purpose. They did not eat or drink anything for 24 hours except for drinking water. They have to go through the series of Health checks in this regard too. They were also tested when they ate in a normal way. The tests manifested that fasting has increased or motivated the human growth hormones. It must be clear that the growth hormones increases the human metabolism (the process of becoming diet a part of body) process and burn the excess fat or oils from the body. These ranges increased in women by 13% and in men by 20%. We all know that decrease in fats and oils, reduces the risk of diabetes and heart diseases.

Fasting becomes the reason of increased cholesterol, and when fasting was broken, their level comes to normal again. Therefore, doctors have emphasized that still further studies are required. Only after that they can suggest fasting to patients. By this time we cannot suggest fasting.

On the other hand, the food specialist Ema Williams says, “I will not show any hurry in starting a fasting, because this is a very dim and unclear condition of human body under which the body reacts. This condition is still unknown and we cannot say anything for certain in this regard for now. After having further research in this regard, we would be able suggesting anything for final.”

Varicose Veins

2011-04-20T18:53:00.000-07:00

Bulged veins are called varicose veins. These swelled veins on arms and legs look awkward. Seemingly there is no apparent problem with the effected person but they become restless.

Our heart with the help of arteries pumps the blood into the whole body among which important are head, arms and legs. Afterwards this blood through little capillaries spread all over the body. These capillaries established a network. Again this blood through big veins returns back to the heart.

Arteries are rather thick and flexible and their size keeps on shrinking or growing due to blood pressure and pulsation of heart. On the other hand the walls of veins are very thin and there is no flexible fiber in them. That’s why they can not shrink and cannot push the blood upwards. These veins totally depend on surrounding muscles and valves present inside the veins, which helps the blood reaching to the heart.

Varicose or bulged veins are those which are permanently broadened and even turned round. Although this condition can be happened on any part of the body but normally this mostly found in the legs.

In veins there are valves after every few inches, which help the blood flow towards heart against gravity. If these valves get leaked, the rising pressure stops the blood from being exiting in a right way. These valves can be leaked or failed due to chronic disease called thrombophiebitis. This increases pressure on the Pelvis as a result more pressure is exerted on the lower side of the body due to pregnancy or some other reason. The problem of varicose veins develops with the rising age and there is nothing to worry about except they look awkward.

The risk of bulging veins occurs when there is some problem in pregnancy. It also happens due to family history. This condition increases the menstrual periods in women.

In case of varicose veins, one feels heaviness or fatigued in the legs, especially when standing. Sometimes strange feeling occurs like something is crawling. Sometimes, pain also occurs in the night which can lead to swelling. As this condition remains, pain also increases. The reason for this is incomplete circulation of blood in the legs. Due to this condition, secretion gathers in the legs. Consult the doctor immediately in this case. Besides, if someone feels itching in these veins in the day time or feels difficulty working in the standing position or disturbed sleep in the night. In this case consult the doctor immediately and if necessary get the treatment.

Treatment

The legs should be given rest as much as possible and be kept upwards. In normal cases, less flexible and pressurized socks should be worn. They can provide relief. But, bulge veins would not be treated by it. If weight is much, proper attention should also be given to this.

One may go into surgery in case of Phlebitis (the burning of veins’ walls), Eczema, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Bugled veins can also be presented on other parts of body besides legs which are: Oesophagus (the tube between throat and stomach), Pelvis, Uterus (Womb), Vagina, Scrotum and rectum (last part of large intestine). Haemorrhoids (the warts of piles) can also be considered bulged veins. The affected people by varicose veins mostly use old traditional ways for its treatment. The varicose veins disease is not a disease itself but one can feel itching and disturbance. Such people should consult their doctor, so that he can tell whether treatment is required or not.

Milk Saves Women from Eye Diseases

2011-04-20T04:24:00.000-07:00

Women can keep their vision intact with milk

The research proves that milk contains abundance of Vitamin D, which cures the vision problems in general but especially in women. More than 20 million people are affected yearly with vision problems. Unfortunately, vision problems have no definite treatment yet. The suffering people have to go through Surgery or take medicines. In order to avoid the risk, keep reading this article.

The recent research revealed that Women who use Vitamin D remain safe from AMD. AMD stands for Age-related muscular degeneration. In this disease, the sight of a person affects as the person grows. The reason for this is a bad effect on Macula which is a centre of sight. It occurs due to ruining of Retina and this is the main cause of blindness.

Yearly around 200,000 people are affected due to this ailment and there is no certain treatment available yet. However, the damage caused by this disease can be minimized by Laser Surgery and medicines.

This is a common reason for blindness in people over 50, where the people focal sight diminishes which is required for reading, driving or recognizing faces.

American Research scholars tested 1313 women who were a part of on going AMD research. The experts observed:

The women who were taking higher Vitamin D had lesser risk by 59 % of this disease as compared to women who took little amount of Vitamin D.

But a report published in Medical General has said that this safety was obvious in women who took Vitamin D in the shape of supplement or diet.

The time passed in sunlight does not minimize the risk of this disease. Although, sunlight is the most important source of Vitamin D, since human skin generates Vitamin D from the reaction of sunlight. The participated women in this study acquired Vitamin D from milk, fish, margarine and serials etc. In the previous research it was thought that excess use of Omega 3 Fish Oil prevents deterioration of sight.

The Doctor Amee Millan of Buffalo University of New York led the scientists during this research. She said, “Still further studies are required to exactly know the performance and state of Vitamin D and endorsement of coordination between genetics and life style. Only after that we will be able to say something for sure.”

Nothing else only a little affection

An effort of enhancing people’s awareness on the World Autism Day being celebrated on April 12, 2011

Autism is actually a name of disorder in the human growth or abrupt condition of brain’s growth. Its symptoms can be apparent any time in the first three years of child’s birth. Autism affects the social and communicative faculties of brain.

In dictionary the meaning of Autism is “totally centralized or mental condition non-harmonious with the outer world, which is normally present by birth.” In short it is a name of human inborn condition which relates to abnormal chemistry and biology of brain. However, solid reasons of Autism could not be sought till yet. Research work is going on and hereditary reasons are considered important in this respect. The statistics about exact numbers of Autism victimized people are not available even in a developed country like America.

On the other hand according to the report of Prevention and control on diseases centre of America the numbers of Autism victimized people are increasing. But it is not clear that it is happening due to suffering people or due to increasing facilities and capabilities of its diagnosis. Boys are 3 to 4 times more likely to be affected by this disease as compared to girls

Hence there may be any reason for its prevailing, it is an important human problem and considering its severity, its awareness world day has been celebrated every year on 12^th April.

There are reasonably better statistics of the Autism victimized people in USA and Canada. According to these statistics 3 to 6 children can be victimized of this disease per every thousand. Its relation with the family’s financial condition, education or life style has not been proved yet. Autism is in fact a pause or disorder in the normal functioning of brain which is called pervasive disorder. Other pervasive developmental disorders are as follows which some people try to connect with Autism due to lack of knowledge:

1) Asperger Syndrome: Its symptoms are like Autism but the speaking power of its victimized people grows normally.

2) Rett Syndrom: It is totally different from Autism and only women get victimized of it.

3) Childhood Disintegrative Disorder: This condition is rare and its victimized children reaching at the age of 10 learn many things and skills as compared to harm caused by it.

4) Pervasive Development Disorder, which hinders the growth. It has not been categorized separately. It is also called a typical Autism.

It is neither disease nor psychological disorder. It reveals due to any carelessness or mishandling during pregnancy. Care or training after birth could not be held responsible for its occurrence. First of all Dr. Lew Keez told the world in 1943 about its facts. It is found in every part of the world regardless of cast, color or creed. The victimized children go through the normal procedure of learning and speaking in the first 2 years, but reaching at the age of 3 suddenly or gradually lose these faculties. Every victimized child is different from other Autistic child. That’s why Autism is given a name of such condition in which much vastness as regard to symptoms and characteristics is present.

Autism remarkably appears on such brain parts that are naturally responsible of upbringing of faculties responsible for learning, understanding, speaking and changing of attitude according to circumstances. That’s why such children lack behind in talking, playing, understanding and reacting properly to the surroundings like other children and are unaware of their social ethics. These children could not feel the danger. For e.g. standing in the mid of the road or climbing any higher place without any fear of falling etc.

It’s a life long condition. Autistic children also posses the learning and understanding faculties though in different manners and therefore Autistic children also learn several skills except for study.

According to recent research of America, 1 out of every 150 children is an Autistic in America. The reasons of it are still unknown, but research is making hereditary responsible. If one child is Autistic in a house, there are more chances of other children being Autistic. The diagnosis of Autism is not possible till yet with any test. However, experts diagnose Autism with the help of thorough observation of child’s behavior, information sought by parents and special checkup. If child is victimized of Epilepsy along with Autism, he should be consulted to the Doctor.

The Autistic children apparently looks like normal children but their behavior makes them different from others. These children use to repeat their few actions again and again or remain involved in any self made game and continuously repeat it. For instance, revolving a rope continuously, tearing a tissue paper or plain paper into pieces, moving these paper pieces by hand or watch them flying, climbing the back of chair or sofa and struggle to keep standing on it. Keep running here and there or repeating any action again and again, repeating the same talk again and again.

These children very soon become habitual of any certain environment and do not like any change in it. For e.g. returning home by the same passage, taking sleep covering with the same blanket, continuously playing with the same toy etc. Since Autism affects those parts of brain which are responsible for natural learning and understanding of a child, that is why teaching such children is rather different and difficult. Experts have set many programs for special education of such children, which are taught considering the interest, inclination and child’s learning ability. Since these children resist greatly in any change in the norms, therefore, it is better for parents to make such children habitual of normal chores of life from the very beginning. For e.g. feeding habit, sleeping and awakening timings, loneliness or using the toilet etc.

Prominent symptoms of Autism

Child does not respond on calling his name.
Cannot speak, or if speaks, utters incompletely, insufficiently with disorganized words or sentences,
Could not make you understand, what he wants.
Could not follow instructions.
Neither hint at any direction nor see your hint direction.
Likes moving round and loves to watch revolving things.
Could not return the smile.
Keep laughing for long without any reason.
Always involved in his game. Neither participates in other children’s game nor pay attention to them.
Do not see in the eyes of the speaker.
Becomes habitual of any one thing, toy, game or plain paper and repeats that thing again and again.
Extraordinarily mobilized. Keeps running every time or keeps walking here and there in the house.
Could speak some words initially, but could not speak the same words after a while.
Express much irritation or show much anger.
Keep involved in himself and does not pay heed to others.
Sometime it feels that the child is deaf.
Sometimes attend to you and sometimes neglect totally.
Could not say goodbye, good morning or Ta Ta by his hands.
Walk on toes.
Play with rope or tear tissue paper or plain paper into small pieces and play with them.
Loves to keep things in a row or keeping them one over other.
Despite sitting on a chair or sofa, tries standing on their back.
Resist tremendously in change of any routine work.

Our Responsibilities

The treatment of Autism has not been discovered yet. But timely diagnosis, special attention and affection of parents, encouragement of family members, special education and eradication of negativity (gazing Autistic children, unsuitable questions from the parents etc.) from the society can bring a remarkable change in such children and these children can pass a better life. These children deserves ours, yours and of the whole society’s encouragement and love. We should open our hearts for them and should adopt positive attitude. The positive attitude of the society certainly helps getting Autistic children out of their shell and parents from inferiority complex. Give room to these children among yourselves. Though the styles of such children are different, even then they want to mix up and play with other people of the society like us. It is also our moral duty to make the people aware of Autism in our surroundings.

Combat against germs, before diseases becomes incurable

Combat against germs, before diseases become incurable

Targets must be completed till 2015 for the health and safety of Mothers and Children.

Special Article on the eve of “World Health Day”

The world is celebrating “World Health Day” on 7^th April, 2010 with a theme “Combat against germs, before diseases become incurable.”

Although safety from germs and resistance is not a new issue, but this problems is shaping dangerously on an international level. Immediate and untiring efforts are required for its prevention. Actually, resistance against germs is just like a medicine. It is useful when medicines are not affected on diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites like microorganisms. Sometimes these microorganisms take shape of Super berg, and situation becomes more dangerous when these microorganisms become the reason of death. Infections caused by these microorganisms put many people to death. What a pity! Daily 26 thousands and yearly 9.7 millions children die due to these diseases internationally when such diseases could be treated or prevented.

The germs of these diseases enter through breathe or food and take place in the blood. Afterwards their poison makes any part of a body paralyze and reveals in the shape of fatal effects like paralyzing of any body part or ultimately death. Such diseases affects much in developing nations, whereas developed nations take all possible precautions to make their citizens safe from such diseases.

In developing countries, due to unhealthy atmosphere, such diseases are proliferating at high rate. Diseased mothers give birth to diseased and rather weaker children. While in developed countries ideal health rules are implemented. Diseases like Malaria and Dengi fever are caused by mosquito bite and big reason of mosquito breed is polluted atmosphere and filthy water. Millions of children die due to pneumonia and diarrhoea. These diseases are caused due to intake of improper cooked food or with unclean hands. Stomach and intestinal diseases are prevailing due to stale food and unclean hands. Deaths of newly born infants are also due to infections caused by germs.

There are four big reasons for these diseases.

Number 1 is impure water. Bacteria and Virus are found in filthy water. Diseases like typhoid, Hepatitis and diarrhoea which are caused by impure water make children ill and weaker. Provision of pure water is harder in developing nations. Whereas, lack of education and awareness also make provision of pure water difficult.

Number 2 reason is unclean hands. Unclean hands pave way many diseases especially intestinal. Besides provision of pure water, education and awareness is also required for washing of hands. If there is no supply of pure water and fresh air, it is impossible to keep hands clean. Make washing of hands certain for cooking and before taking meal. Wash your hands with soap after using toilet too.

The third big reason of such diseases is environmental pollution. Breathe and intestinal diseases are caused due to unhealthy atmosphere in and outside the house. Water is essential for the cleanliness of house. Windy house and proper cleanliness saves from pollution. Kitchen is also an important source of pollution. In older times or in rural areas, kitchen used to be farther from other rooms of the house. The fuel used in kitchen did not become the source of pollution.

But in new way of living, flats have made our houses like small boxes, and concept of separate kitchen has been vanished at all. In rural areas people use animal excretion, woods, coals, oil and gas for fuel. The cheapest but harmful fuel is dry animal excretion and the purest is gas. The smoke of animal excretion cause breathe and other diseases. In many houses, in spite of separate kitchen food is cooked and served at the same place for fulfilling two purposes of saving themselves from cold and cooking of food at the same time.

This way of living makes atmosphere polluted and breathe diseases are caused in children. Usage of various types of spray for killing insects is also harmful for health. Environmental pollution takes place by the chemicals present in these sprays. A single cigarette excretes more than four thousands poisonous matters and makes the atmosphere polluted.

In villages men and women smoke Hubble Bubble which makes the atmosphere polluted. First of all it is not advisable to smoke and if necessary, it should be done in an open air. Traffic smoke also makes our atmosphere polluted. Likewise, healthy rules are not applied in residential areas; Throwing of garbage outside houses is very common and is not considered bad. Dyers, Welders and auto services shops are common in residential areas, which become source of prevailing breathe and skin infections. The bathing of children, in standing water around residential areas also causes many diseases. The system of disposing garbage is upset, due to which many diseases take place.

Fourth important reason for diseases is lack of food and its substandard usage. Due to lack of food and calories, body growth stops and the reason of fewer calories is poverty. In the whole world people use 70% of their income on food, in which people below poverty line are also included. Yearly about 55% children become victim of lack of food and calories. Besides, lack of Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Iodine and Iron in meals also originates diseases in a body and resultantly body resistance power weakens.

The purpose of dedicating this day internationally with a slogan is bringing awareness among people that diseases which prevail through germs are curable.

Such diseases can be reduced or cured. Simple way of living, abiding health rules strictly, following religious principles firmly, making houses airy in order to save them from pollution, implementing tidiness system in a community, taking of balanced and better food, washing of hands before taking meals, provision of pure water to people, boiling of impure water while keeping other water away are few most important things for reducing or curing such diseases. If we all work collectively, we can save ourselves from such diseases.

Mother feeding is the best way to save children from diseases. It is a complete nutritious meal, which have natural resistance power. Feed children with only mother milk till six months from birth and children should not be brought to any other kind of food during this period. After six months, mother milk should be fed as a part with other food. There is one more misconception among people that in this age (without teeth) a child cannot eat solid food and that his stomach is weaker and soft, thus keeping child away from fruits, vegetables and meat.

On the contrary, he should also be fed fruits, vegetables, meat and other food, but it should be kept in mind that food should be fed after making soft. Often parents in excessive love feed children with packaged drinks, colorful toffees, chocolates and other various kinds of marketed products. Chemicals present in these kinds of products affects negatively on their physical growth. Such products do not have minerals, which body needs badly, but child appetite vanishes due to their usage.

Resultantly their resistance power weakens. Preventive vaccinated course must be completed to children against such diseases. Children can be saved from various contagious diseases by these preventive vaccines. Fortunately, due to medical science progress treatment of almost every disease is present now-a-days but we can save 9.7 millions valuable lives only after making prevention certain from diseases!!

Smoking and how to quit?

2011-04-04T07:27:00.000-07:00

Smoking is injurious to health. There is no doubt in it. But unfortunately, people get stuck up in this bad habit due to certain reasons. Among which bad company comes on top of the list.

At an early age, we inadvertently indulge in this bad habit, which by the time becomes our stubborn habit and almost impossible to get rid of it, when nicotine becomes part and parcel of our blood and when we do not provide that nicotine to our body, our mind and body starts collapsing and shouts loudly for its provision.

One should bear in mind that it is slow poisoning, which does not show its affects immediately but slowly and gradually effects our heart, lungs, mind and body which leads to cancer and eventually death.

Elders acquire this habit when they come across some knotty problems in their lives and could not resolve them. They want to escape from their problems and seek salvation in smoking which apparently diverts their attention from problems for the time being. When they are not attentive to their problems they feel relaxed. But this is a temporary escape from problems not a permanent solution. Again and again they repeat the same process unless becomes habitual. Actually they need some psychologically support which they find in smoking.

In this scenario, it could easily be understood that Tension is a big cause of smoking which breeds from the unresolved issues. So, if we are able to remove Tension from our lives we could also get rid of smoking. Tension is created from the unresolved issues, so what one can do to resolve the knotty issues while they are in pending status.

Answer could be to do your best whatever is in your control and leave the results on Almighty God, who is the most beneficent and the most merciful. Remain consistent but in your limits in resolving the issues in your lives without allowing yourself to be discouraged from the temporary setbacks. Rest assured sooner or later a day will come when you will reap the rewards of your sincere efforts. It provides you confidence in resolving other similar issues of life. Our life is a test, it is only a test, and one after another you will come across problems and challenges. We humans need to face the challenges of life in spite of escaping and finding relief in smoking or any other bad habit.

When we change our attitudes from negative to positive, we can also alter our lives accordingly. When you succeed in making your habit of looking always to the bright side of a picture, there will be no tension and your desire for smoking will also die itself, without making any extra effort from your part. Just keep tension away from your life; you will definitely be a fruitful and better person for a society.

Other solution could be to build your will power against this bad habit. If you unfortunately become habitual of this bad habit, it would not be easy to abandon this bad habit overnight. It requires proper planning, time and practice in order to get rid of it. As it took time to become habitual so it will take some time to quit too. First of all count the number of cigarettes you smoke a day. Let’s suppose 20. Continue to smoke 20 cigarettes, the whole next week neither more nor less than 20. Enjoy your smoking the whole week. Remember tension is a main cause of smoking; we need to keep ourselves away from tension, which pave way the desire of smoking in our heart. After enjoying smoking the whole week cut down one cigarette i.e. 19. Now enjoy the whole week smoking 19 cigarettes. Likewise cut down one cigarette every week and in 20 weeks you will have enough will power to get rid of smoking completely from your life.

During and after leaving the smoking habit, keep yourself reminding its bad affects on your health and happiness. Keep yourself away from the smokers’ company rather seek the company of religious people and reading religious literature. Never allow your mind to be vacant rather keep doing some positive work related to your most desired goals. Define and focus on your positive and healthy goals rather than on smoking. Sports can also be very beneficial for a smoking person.

If we can change our attitude towards certain realities of life, we can also change our lives accordingly.

2011-03-03T05:38:00.000-08:00

But, what we do when we hear some bad news, or face some difficulty or disappointment, most of us have developed a habit to react negatively specially in case of adversity of which we have no answer to respond positively. We overreact, blow in anger, become too tight and always focus on negative aspects of life. In this way we loose sight of life’s bigger picture and start ruining everything, even our relationships with others, which might help us otherwise. Our overreaction and frustration makes the worse matters worst.

In other words we make our lives as a big deal and rush to solve one problem after problem, but in fact we are often compounding them. In this way we end up our lives dealing with one drama after another. This is a normal phenomenon, which we have developed to solve life’s problems.

Actually, a problem does not frustrate us but a way we relate our thinking to our problems has lot to do with the solution of the problem itself and our sense of happiness. If we learn to respond to life’s problems with more ease, they will become more manageable to resolve, which once seems knotty and unmanageable?

Fortunately, there is another way to respond to life that is much softer and more graceful way of responding but it involves replacing old habits of negative responding into new habits of positive responding to life’s challenges.

I would like to share a little story here, which makes the point clearer.

The Pakistan Movement was at peak. The Congress Leader Nehru called names and abuses Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Founder of Pakistan) and other Muslim League leaders, which also published in the Newspaper. One of the Muslim League Leaders, Mr. Sardar Abdul Rab Nishtar got angry and asked Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah that we will also reply them in the same manner. But Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah replied that for instance if Dog is barking at you in a way, you should not start barking on him in the same manner. We have a great mission ahead to focus on. Let them say what they are saying at the moment or what language they are using. They want to annoy us and divert our attention from our purpose. The world will see our achievements in the Future and the world saw he gave a separate homeland Pakistan to the oppressed Muslims of India.

Free radicals presence is one of the factor in promoting cancel and heart diseases. Since Curcumin is an antioxidant, hence neutralized the presence of free radicals and as a result reduces the risk of cancer in the body.
Experiments conducted on Mice shows reduction of 40% in benign tumors.
Genes responsible for colon cancer in human beings are responsible of causing benign tumors in mice.
In another study conducted on 3 groups of Mice was carried out in which cells known as prostrate cancer cell which develop malignant tumors were injected in 3 groups of Mice.
Study shows that 2 groups showed around 70% recovery and reduced tumor size by 70% that were curcumin extract whereas the third group which was not treated at all showed no recovery in reduction of tumors.
However, such experiments have not been conducted on large scale on humans, and hence doctor's advice must be seek before taking Turmeric for the treatment of cancer.
In other diseases like dementia and arthritis, turmeric has been used for a long time.

Brain Port Device-Blind People Will Be Able to See?

2010-02-27T07:01:00.000-08:00

Imagine a device, by which blind will be able to see by touching it with their tongue. Certainly, it is a matter of great surprise for many of us. Hence, it is a fact that most things considered impossible in the past are now very common just because of latest technology.

It is expected that a Device that will take support of tongue instead of eyes will be launched in the market till next year. Researchers say that this device will not be an alternate to sightedness, but by means of it a very close concept of surroundings will be derived and movements will become easier for the blind.

The army men can desire for this device those have lost their sightedness due to brain injuries. The design of “Brain Port Device” is like a sunglass in which a very small sized digital camera is installed. This camera resembles a unit of eye phone and is connected to a small electrode panel, which is kept on the tongue. By this panel, tongue receives electric waves like bubbles rising from the soda. Afterwards these waves reach to the sight relevant parts of the brain where a picture of surroundings is made. The brain make white sketch with the strong electric waves, brown with the weak, and in the absence of any vibration makes dark sketch. This device also has the capacity of zooming.

According to researchers, as a result of touching the device with a tongue an imagery sketch is made on the information received by the sight parts of the brain that produces the similar picture to the people who could see before blindness as if they are seeing by their eyes. Hence according to them scenes are not as clear as are seen from the naked eye. The by birth vision impaired people say that they are able to create much better brain pictures by this device. The seventeen years old Ketty Shaik, the student of High School is waiting anxiously for this device. Ketty started losing sight soon after birth and lost it completely reaching till the age of two. The parents of Ketty, Andy and Jacky Shaik desire that ketty could move in her room without any help and can cross the road.

The use of this device will provide her freedom to great extent. For the time being they do not know that how much this device will be useful for Ketty, however, they are hopeful. 43 years old Jacky was informed about this device for the first time through discovery channel. They are waiting for the availability of this device in the market since then. The American company Wicab Inc. that is working on this device, its chief executive Abert Backhem says that their company will seek permission from the government to market this device in the coming few weeks.

The researchers working on the Brain Port says that the idea behind this technology is quite simple. People see with the help of their brain and do not from their eyes and brain is capable of making imagery picture by means of waves received from other body parts besides eyes. Instead of using the central nerve of eye, we are controlling the nervous system by tongue.

According to researchers quite positive results are examined during tests and this device is equally useful for the birth blind and who have lost sight after birth. The neuro-scientist Emy Arnoldson says that vision impaired people become habitual to Brain Port just after using it for 10 hours and can easily move in their surroundings.

It is not clear the usefulness of this device for those soldiers who had lost sight after returning from the wars. Kale Pollack who was serving as a surgeon in Army Medical Department in 2007, took help of a group of army officers before retirement, so as to examine the people having sight problems.

Pollack is now retired from the Army and presently is Executive Director of Focus Center of Vision Restoration in Pittsburg. This is the same place where work is going on upon Brain Port Device.

The National Eye institute of America is providing Fund for this project. The Chief Executive of Wicab Haycum says that the company is in the early stages of this project and it may be possible in coming years to make this device wireless. Brain Port will not be an alternate for eyes, but company says that it will be a better partner for the blind than a supporter dog or stick.
