Sinus and Its Prevention

Sinusitis can be defined as injury in the tissue or the lining of sinus. Healthy sinuses are filled with air. But when they become blocked and filled with fluid, germs can grow and cause an infection.

Conditions that can cause sinus blockage include:

• The common cold
• Allergic rhinitis, which is swelling of the lining of the nose
• Small growths in the lining of the nose called nasal polyps
• A deviated septum, which is a shift in the nasal cavity

Types of Sinusitis

You may hear your doctor use these terms:

• Acute sinusitis usually starts with cold like symptoms such as a runny, stuffy nose and facial pain. It may start suddenly and last 2-4 weeks.
• Sub acute sinus inflammation usually lasts 4 to 12 weeks.
• Chronic inflammation symptoms last 12 weeks or longer.
• Recurrent sinusitis happens several times a year.
• Common causes of chronic sinusitis include:
• Nasal polyps. These tissue growths can block the nasal passages or sinuses.
• Other medical conditions. The complications of cystic fibrosis, gastro esophageal reflux, or HIV and other immune system-related diseases can result in nasal blockage.

Prevention of Sinusitis

This entire step should be notted to reduce the risk of getting chronic sinusitis:

• Avoid upper respiratory infections. Minimize contact with people who have colds. Wash your hands frequently with soap and water, especially before meals.
• Manage your allergies.  Move according to the instruction given by doctor to improve your allergy.
• Avoid cigarette smoke and polluted air. Tobacco smoke and air contaminants can irritate and inflame your lungs and nasal passages.
• Use a humidifier. Air inside the home must get dry; it happens if you have forced hot air heat, adding moisture to the air may help prevent sinusitis. Be sure to keep the humidifier clean and free of mold with regular, thorough cleaning.
• Treat stuffiness (nasal congestion) caused by cold or allergies promptly. Avoid contact with people who have colds and other viral upper respiratory infections. If you do have contact with people who have these infections, wash your hands often, especially after being in contact with those who are infected.
• Avoid cigarette, cigar, and pipe smoke in your home and workplace. Smoke causes and further irritates inflamed membranes in your nose and sinuses.

Inherited person with allergies should reduce the things that are the reason behind the allergic attacks. And take consultancy with your family doctor so that he/she could give you the correct anti-allergic pills. For more information, see the topic Allergic Rhinitis.

Avoid breathing dry air. Consider using a humidifier at home and work to increase the moisture in the air.

Make sure your child gets all the recommended immunizations. Some immunizations, such as pneumococcal conjugate vaccine, may help prevent ear and sinus infections.

POLLUTION AND HUMANS-BEINGS

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source . In 2015, pollution killed 9 million people in the world.

Air pollution has always accompanied civilizations. Pollution started from prehistoric times when man created the first fires. According to a 1983 article in the journal Science, "soot’’ found on ceilings of prehistoric caves provides ample evidence of the high levels of pollution that was associated with inadequate ventilation of open fires. Metal forging appears to be a key turning point in the creation of significant air pollution levels outside the home. Core samples of glaciers in Greenland indicate increases in pollution associated with Greek, Roman and Chinese metal production, but at that time the pollution was comparatively small and could be handled by nature.

Pollution, also called environmental pollution, the addition of any substance (solid, liquid, or gas) or any form of energy (such as heat, sound, or radioactivity) to the environment at a rate faster than it can be dispersed, diluted, decomposed, recycled, or stored in some harmless form. The major kinds of pollution are (classified by environment) air pollution, water pollution, and land pollution. Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollutants, such as noise pollution, light pollution, and even plastic pollution.

By the middle of the 20th century, an awareness of the need to protect air, water, and land environments from pollution had developed among the general public. In particular, the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT and other persistent chemicals that accumulate in the food chain and disrupt the natural balance of ecosystems on a wide scale.

What is Hysterectomy (Uterus Removal Surgery) - By Dr. Nivedita Kaul, Fortis lafemme shalimar bagh

Hysterectomies are one of
the most common surgical procedures in the world, with greater than 600,000
performed each year. For decades, abdominal and vaginal approaches accounted
for the vast majority of hysterectomies. The advent of better laparoscopic technology
resulted in the first Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH) in 1989.

An abdominal hysterectomy
is a surgery which removes the uterus through an incision in lower abdomen. A
uterus or womb is a place where a baby grows if anyone is pregnant. A partial
hysterectomy removes just the uterus, leaving the cervix intact. A total
hysterectomy removes the uterus and the cervix.

Vaginal hysterectomy has
been a wonderful breakthrough in the field of gynaecology. This hysterectomy
procedure involves the removal of the uterus and cervix (or parts of the two,
depending on the requirement of the surgery) using a laparoscope, by taking a
vaginal approach. It helps to completely do away with surgical cuts that were
earlier required to be made in the abdominal region, during abdominal
hysterectomies. Those often led to scarring, increased risk of complications
and a longer time for surgery and recovery from hysterectomy. Conversely,
vaginal hysterectomies require minimum invasion, the sutures given are self
absorbing and there is practically no scarring seen, thus, reducing the overall
recovery period. Normally, an abdominal hysterectomy recovery would require up
to twelve weeks, whereas the vaginal hysterectomy recovery period can be as
short as three weeks, as it is a laparoscopic hysterectomy procedure.

Dandruff is small inflated particles which occur in our head .They become like part of our body during winters they occur during winter and disappear during summer. But if not given attention it can lead to other conditions like severe hair fall, weak eyesight, headaches, and you can also become constantly ‘head scratcher’.

Causes of Development

They occur due to dust particles which inculcate in our head .Even, they occur in those heads who are mostly outsiders or are professional workers. And winters are the main origin for their occurrence because there is more pollution and dust particles which occur in winter due to fog. In winter fog acts as vacuum for these dust particles who stuck in the heads easily.

Occurrence Places

Except head there are other origins also where dandruff occurs like on the eye brows and inside the ear. It is because early people didn’t give attention towards it and when later on it increases it is visible on eyebrows and inside ear also which looks very awkward and some time people use to stay away with you.  So, to stay away from it oils your ears regularly after each bath you can.

Symptoms and Treatment of Brain Tumor by Dr. Sunil Kumar Baranwal (NeuroSurgeon) Fortis Hospital

A brain tumor occurs when abnormal cells form within the brain. There are two main types of tumors: malignant or cancerous tumors and benign tumors. Cancerous tumors can be divided into primary tumors that start within the brain, and secondary tumors that have spread from somewhere else, known as brain metastasis tumors. All types of brain tumors may produce symptoms that vary depending on the part of the brain involved. These symptoms may include headaches, seizures, problem with vision, vomiting, and mental changes. The headache is classically worse in the morning and goes away with vomiting. More specific problems may include difficulty in walking, speaking, and with sensation. As the disease progresses unconsciousness may occur.

The cause of most brain tumors is unknown. Uncommon risk factors include inherited neurofibromatosis, exposure to vinyl chloride, Epstein–Barr virus, and ionizing radiation. The evidence for mobile phones is not clear. The most common types of primary tumors in adults are meningiomas (usually benign), and astrocytomas such as glioblastomas.In children, the most common type is a malignant medulloblastoma. Diagnosis is usually by medical examination along with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. This is then often confirmed by a biopsy. Based on the findings, the tumors are divided into different grades of severity.

Secondary or metastatic brain tumors are more common than primary brain tumors, with about half of metastases coming from lung cancer. Primary brain tumors occur in around 250,000 people a year globally, making up less than 2% of cancers. In children younger than 15, brain tumors are second only to acute lymphoblastic leukemia as the most common form of cancer.

How to control diabetes | How to cure diabetes without medication

Tips to reduce Diabetes:

1. Make Healthy Food Choices

A healthy diet is the best way to fight against diabetes because once you have got diabetes, your food choices matter a lot. The idea is to prevent blood sugar spiking. This calls for choosing foods that are low in calories and avoiding refined foods and opting for frequent mini meals.

2. Indulge in Physical Activities

3. Maintain healthy Body Weight Sedentary lifestyle is indeed a killer and promotes diabetes. Several studies have shown that being obese can increase the risk of diabetes. This is because extra weight induces resistance to the effects of insulin while vigorous physical activities help insulin to work effectively.

People who carry most of their fat in their belly (apple shape) are more prone to Type 2 Diabetes than those with fat mostly on the buttocks and thighs (pear shape). Sugary foods are highly responsible for the belly fat.

Nearly 50% of all diabetics are overweight. Hyper secretion of insulin (to match the spiking blood sugar) causes weight gain. Weight loss improves insulin sensitivity and glucose utilization.
4. Avoid Stress

Don’t forget to take medicines. Take them even if you feel good. Certain drugs to treat other conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol may affect your blood glucose level. So always check with your doctor before taking any medicines.

Chronic stress and depression can send Blood Sugar Level soaring. Divert your mind and try different relaxation techniques to beat stress. Indulge in meditation; try yoga and deep breathing exercises. Go for a walk or work on your hobbies like gardening or listen to your favorite music track.
5. Never neglect Medicines
Don’t forget to take medicines. Take them even if you feel good. Certain drugs to treat other conditions like high blood pressure and cholesterol may affect your blood glucose level. So always check with your doctor before taking any medicines.

5 Easy ways to beat the air pollution, How to stay safe from pollution

Indoors: Close windows and doors when indoors to slow the rate of penetration of smoke.

If you have an older air conditioner, switch it to 'recycle' to reduce the smoke inside your home.

If you live, or work in a highly-polluted area, try and take regular breaks in a cleaner air environment.

If there is a break in smoky conditions, take the opportunity to open windows and air out your home to improve the indoor air quality. Try to stay away from highly polluted or crowded areas to minimize chances of contracting allergies and infection.

Outdoors: Drive less. Walk, ride a bicycle, ride the bus, or work from home whenever you can. Not only will this save you money - and traffic and parking woes - but this will also reduce air pollution.

Avoid doing physical activity when outdoors. Yes, exercising in the Delhi can actually be harmful for you. A workout will cause you to breathe heavily - which will result in more particles entering your airways.

Ensure that your car's air filters are replaced regularly.

Face Mask – Keeping in mind of the levels of pollution, simple paper and cloth masks may not do much to protect you from fine particles or other toxins in smoke.

Specialized disposable masks, often called "P2" respirators, available from most hardware stores, can reduce exposure to smoke particles if fitted correctly.

How Open Heart Bypass Surgery is done?

Heart bypass surgery gives rise to a route, commonly known as a bypass, so that oxygen and blood reach your heart without any hassle. It is implemented so that you do not face any problems related to coronary artery disease. With coronary artery disease, there is a strong possibility that your heart may be blocked.

You will get anesthesia before your surgery. With anesthesia, you are not going to feel any sort of pain. Another important thing to note about anesthesia is that it will make it presence felt in the entire routine. Once you are unconscious, your health surgeon will make a ten inch long cut in the mid portion of your chest. After that, your breastbone will be partitioned to develop an opening that will help your surgeon to see your aorta and heart.

Individuals going through coronary bypass surgery are linked up to a heart-lung bypass machine.

• The main function of heart-lung bypass machine is to work as a heart at the time of surgery. What's more, this machine inserts oxygen to your blood.

• Keep in mind that your heart will not work when you are linked up to this machine.

A newer routine does not employ this machine. Regarding bypass creation, it is quite vital that your heart is still beating. In medical terminology, it is known as off-pump coronary artery bypass. This routine can turn out to be quite useful for individuals who are facing issues because of heart-lung machine. During off-pump coronary artery bypass, your surgeon will take an artery from another body portion.

Delhi Air pollution | What is the reason behind it and how can you prevent yourself from this Smog

Air Pollution in Delhi has been increased vary rapidly. With the changing environment conditions and the activities done by the public, the air pollution in Delhi has taken hype.

Delhi-NCR has been choking on toxic air for the past few months. Just a few weeks later, the air quality deteriorated further due to unabated crop burning practices in Haryana and Punjab, despite green bodies pulling up the state governments to administer strict monitoring.

Delhi shares its borders with farming states like Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, therefore, one of the main reasons why Delhi is experiencing such high pollution levels is due to crop burning, lit garbage and road dust.

The vehicular pollution caused by cars, trucks, buses and industrial pollution combined adds up and creates unsuitable living conditions. This is the second time this year that Delhi is experiencing such high pollution levels.

Smog is a form of air pollution. It is a mixture of smoke and fog and refers to smoky fog, its opacity, and odour. This kind of visible air pollution is composed of nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, ozone, smoke or particulates among others.

How heart valve replacement surgery is performed?

Heart Valve Surgery

There are four major valves in the human heart: the aortic, mitral, tricuspid, and pulmonary. If any of  these valves are diseased or damaged, they may need to be replaced. Failure to do so could lead to premature death, since their job is a vital one. All the blood that enters and exits the heart must flow through valves. Not only do they connect and pump blood into major arteries, but they also close and prevent it from flowing backward.

When it is needed

When a valve does not open fully, the blood flow can be severely limited. This condition is called stenosis and it can be quite serious. On the other hand, when a valve does not close all the

way, blood will leak back into the heart. Doctors refer to this as regurgitation. Both defects must be corrected as soon as possible. Either can cause serious cardiac symptoms, such as shortness of breath, chest pain (angina), and even heart failure.

How it is diagnosed

More often than not, a doctor can determine if a valve is damaged or diseased with a battery of tests. Like any other organ, heart valves can be damaged or destroyed by serious infection, also known as endocarditis. What are your options?

Surgery

Unfortunately, prescription medications cannot repair damaged heart valves or alleviate the symptoms associated with them. A doctor must perform either open or minimally invasive surgery. Open surgery is when a doctor makes a large incision in your breastbone in order to reach the heart. Minimally invasive valve surgery is completed through a much smaller incision and involves different medical equipment and techniques.

How in vitro fertilization (IVF) works

There are several methods that you can try if you are having troubles about getting pregnant. You may visit your doctor for many different alternatives. In the case however that all attempts fail, doctors usually consider In Vitro Fertilization as a last resort. To guide you, here is a step by step procedure to the treatment:

Preparatory Stage 

The In Vitro Fertilization treatment begins with the preparatory stage. During this period, you will be given medication that will prepare your body for the processes to follow. In some instances, you may be prescribed birth control pills. This is temporary and is meant to counter problems like ovarian cysts.

Ruling Out Potential Hindrances 

This next step will begin when your period comes. During this stage, the focus will be on getting rid of the hindrances that might get in the way of the In Vitro Fertilization treatment like ovarian cysts. So during this stage, you might undergo several tests like ultrasound sessions and blood tests. You may also undergo medication.

Egg Cell Stimulation 

When step one through step two is successful, your doctor will now begin the stimulation of the egg cells. Through a series of medications, your body will produce healthy oocytes. This is usually done with the use of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) shots. This is a crucial step because incorrect timing can produce incompatible egg cells.

Egg Cell Retrieval 

When healthy egg cell are produced, that is not say not overly matured or underdeveloped, they will be extracted from your body using a needle. This may sound uncomfortable but the procedure is rather simple. Also, doctors sometimes use sedatives to make you relax throughout the procedure.

Fertilization Process 

After egg cells are retrieved, they will be brought to a laboratory where they will be fertilized. The sperm cells from your husband will be used for this. Therefore, sperm cells will be extracted from your husband on the same day as well. This is important because the fertilization must occur between within 12 to 24 hours or it will fail.

Maturing The Embryo 

After fertilization of several egg cells, they will be allowed to mature into embryos. This will be accomplished while the egg cells are stored. In many cases, several high quality embryos may be formed. Many laboratories preserve some embryos for future use should the first attempt fail.

Embryo Planting 

Next to the In Vitro Fertilization treatment is the returning of the embryo into you womb. This usually occurs around three to five days after the fertilization of the egg cells extracted from your body. Of course, there is a possibility of failure. The procedure can be repeated again if necessary. With several tries, it is bound to succeed.
