Paediatrician -Angels in real world

A fact which needs no debating is that the most important property for parents is not their bungalow or a company or an asset, it is their child. Parents live, laugh and earn for their child. In such a case, how would one rate the importance of the man who treats the children and keeps them safe and disease free? That importance cannot be rated in words. That is the job of a ‘Paediatrician’.

Treating anyone, relieving them of their misery is always a noble deed to do. But this deed becomes even more god-like when the person in distress is a child. Pediatrics is in itself, a separate branch of medicine that deals with children only. One should not confuse children as little adults and undermine a pediatrician’s job.

Unlike many other fields of medicine, pediatrics is doing quite well in India. Majorly, developed areas in the mould of Ghaziabad, noida, gurgaon, can lay claim to be the home of world-class pediatricians. There is a real zip in the minds of younger generation to pursue a career in pediatrics and if this boom is sustained, India can be home to one of the best crop of Paediatrician.

Pediatrics is a challenging specialty in terms of the very genuine difficulty of treating a young child with terrified parents. Excellent communication skills are required for this profession but the joy of saving a child and seeing the happiness on the parent’s face as they give you good wishes is unmatched by any other joy in the world.

Little more about something we already know

A pharmacologist is the one who actually does the study of these drugs. All drugs, in a broad spectrum, follow some essential heads such as:

Formulation Available Route of administration such as Enteral, Parenteral or Inhalation.

Dosage instructions. Example: Adrenaline given as 1: 1000, 1: 10,000 or 1:100000 Injections for Myocardial Infarction.

Drug’s Pharmacokinetics

Pharmacokinetics includes the study done by a pharmacologist, about what happens to the drug, when it enters the body. It involves study of:

a) Absorption of Drugs (such as by muscles tendons etc)

b) Metabolism of Drugs (Eg: Drugs metabolized by Liver by CYP450 enzymes)

c) Excretion of drug (Unchanged or changed into urine or faeces)

Bioavailability:

Assessing the Bioavailability of a drug is the most important task of a pharmacologist. It refers to the safety of the drug. Higher the value, safer is the drug. Ghaziabad has the best pharmacologists though! One can rely on them surely and Medicosa is always here.However, with advancement in pharmacology, there are lot many cons which follow the use of drugs. Though pharmacologists try their best to overcome this cons.

Where laxatives were made just as a remedy for constipation, they are now being used for things which were not even imaginable when they were actually formulated.Though extremely useful in almost all conditions, the adverse effects of NSAID’s, especially Salicylates, become a hindrance in their use.CNS sedatives and hypnotics, which were traditionally made to calm the patient, are now drugs of abuse, just to obtain their depressive effects.New inventions, new challenges everyday is just the beginning lot more to achieve…Best is yet to come!

Physiotherapy-Introduction and its Future in Ghaziabad

Ask a person about what he thinks is the most important part of the human body and the most common answer you will get will probably be ‘joints’ or ‘limbs’. A person can be fit and healthy but can never be an asset to the country unless he is working for the country. Because of the fact that joints are the most important part of the human body, the field of medicine which caters to this part takes up more importance in our daily lives. That field of medicine is called physiotherapy.

Physical therapy or physiotherapy, as it is commonly known, helps patients regain or maximize physical movement and functions through exercises and therapies using agents such as heat, wax and electricity. Physiotherapists work in conjunction with the doctors to treat the patient. A physiotherapist’s aim is never to cure a patient, but to rehabilitate him. This process requires kindness, compassion and patience as not every patient reacts to the patient the same way.

A good physiotherapist can be a boon to the nation in its bid to become developed as more number of fit and healthy people translates into more number of working population which means lesser poverty. As is the case with many professions, a good level physiotherapist are mostly found in some of the most developed areas of the country such as Ghaziabad, Gurgaon etc, but soon, with the increasing scope of this profession, India can boast of some of the finest physiotherapists.

Cancer does not have face unless it is yours or someone you know

What is cancer? Types of cancer? Complications of cancer? Symptoms of cancer? These are those things which we almost know or we might have read something about it. But let’s discuss something which you might not be aware of! Well this is an astonishing fact! Our body’s immune system kills some cells every 3 days which can cause cancer in future! Strange but true! Our body works as a proper machine! Give it proper fuel so that he always works properly!

Now lets talk about something which is happening all around the globe! In western countries, cervical cancer is topping charts there! Cervical cancer is mainly cause by HPV which is human papiloma virus which targets genitals of both males and females but more often seen in females. This is mostly sexually transmitted and now because of this being very common, scientist managed to remove few preventive vaccines which will help in fighting of this virus!

However our body’s immune system fights against but if it persists it will hamper the body cells to a great extent! So in most of the cases it is better to have preventive vaccines!There are few screening tests also which are developed which is helping in detecting this virus at earlier stages! Smear from the genitals is taken and it is tested which helps in detecting this type of cancer! Technology is blooming!!

ONCOLOGY – SHOULD WE BE READY NOW ?

Like most things, we put off gaining in depth knowledge into something as common as cancer. Also like most things, we think “this will never happen to me”. And as much as we hope and pray, bad things do happen. Isn’t it better to be prepared rather than face the sudden blow, unprepared and unarmed with something as basic and as easily available as information ?So yes, here’s the brutal reality : the world is developing at a dizzying pace and it is somewhat developing at the cost of human lives. 

The pollutants from industries, the radiation from the new towers and the tightly fit schedules of people with no time to take care of their health are all leading towards development of more and more illnesses, like cancer.Cancer, as we know , has been on the rise in people since the past few decades. It is no coincidence that this rise is accompanied with rapid industrialization, urbanization, and development. 

Cancer, in layman terms, is the abnormal growth of cells, which is caused due to all the factors mentioned above, alongwith other factors like genetics. Oncology is the branch of medicine that deals with different types of cancer.It is difficult to find a qualified oncologist who doesn’t charge an exorbitant fees in our country these days. There is a need to make healthcare affordable to all sections of society and it can be done either by improving the standards of government hospitals or by making it mandatory for doctors in private hospitals to devote a fixed amount of their time and services to the underprivileged, free of cost.

Dr. Dinesh Chandra Katiyar is a surgical oncologist with MBBS and MS degrees, along with an M.Ch in surgical oncology. Appointments with him can be booked at https://www.medicosa.com. By -Sukanya

Anaesthesia Endures The Operation Of Life

Anaesthesia is something which we do not come across in our daily life’s…We do not even meet these specialists on daily basis…But still they play a very important role. Have you by chance undergone a tooth or gum surgery…if yes…Have you imagined that why don’t you feel the terrible pain during that surgery? All you feel is heaviness in the mouth! Thanks to anaesthetics which save you from the pain! You are never completely sleepy during a gum or tooth surgery or let’s take labour pain for that instance, if at all you have seen a C-section delivery you might be imagining that how a woman is awake during that time, she isn’t feeling the pain? She does feel the pain but because of those anaesthetics the pain isn’t reaching the brain which means loss of sensation! A wonderful drug…isn’t it! 

Local and general anaesthetics are the most commonly used anaesthetics!

Local anaesthetics are used during minor operations to numb a particular part such as during gum surgery or any other minor surgeries where the patient is aware of the procedure taking place, can see the procedure but cannot feel it.

General anaesthetics are used during serious and bigger procedures where the patient is recovered to be completely unconscious and he/she isn’t even aware of the procedure and can neither feel it!

There are other types of anaesthesia also given apart from these two which are as follows:-

(1) Epidural anaesthesia is usually given to numb the lower part of the body mainly during labour.

(2) Spinal anaesthesia is given during operations which requires numbness for more than 3 hours

(3) Sedation anaesthesia is given which induces sleep and keeps you calm during painful procedures. By - Trishala

None of them had any injuries during the surgery and the strange thing is about 27% of the kids had a drop in their BMI! It improved quality of their life! This was generally proposed to avoid the problems which will be caused due to excess of weight! This is yet to be done in India! I hope it comes soon! By -Trishala

DON’T PUT A BAN ON THIS PLASTIC, PLEASE ?

As mortal humans with a highly perishable exterior surface, we are bound to be able to manage with the ban on plastic items, but not on plastic surgery, which keeps our vanity intact! Plastic surgery is the miracle tool in the hands of gifted practitioners who use their “magic” to erase any trace of aging you might have developed, or to skillfully replace your grandmother’s nose which you were by some cruel joke of fate, stuck with, and replace it with the dainty little piece of art that happens to be the same as your favourite actress’s.

Brow lifts, face lifts, wrinkle smoothenings, botox, this lift, that lift, you name it, and you have it ! non cosmetically concerning organs such as ears can also be modified, whether the reason for said modification is medical or plain and simple vainful. Even though 90% plastic surgeries are done on women, men, too, are in the clutches of this addiction in the form of plastic surgery.It has been said (and I have found this to be alarmingly true) , that once you get one part of your body altered, you cannot stop it there! 

You are compelled, by some unseen force, (of the plastic surgery gods, maybe), to keep going on, chiseling your body to “perfection”, part by part. So if you are a first timer and can’t wait to get into the plastic surgeon’s chair, do a double check, a triple check, even, on the importance of getting that surgery done. If you can’t find a reason to pull out, just make sure you don’t get hooked to it. Addictions can happen with anything, you see! By – Sukanya

KEEP THE HEART’S SINE WAVE GOING!

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of cardiothoracic? If you’re a fitness freak, then you’ll probably think it is something to do with cardio/ cardiovascular exercise. This is pretty assumable because it contains the word cardio. In literal terms, cardiothoracic, a combination of two words is related to both the heart as well as the chest. Similarly, a cardiothoracic surgeon is a medical specialist who deals with problems of the heart and the lungs and performs the required surgeries.

For a person to operate on extremely important and sensitive organs of the body, it is important that he/ she is equipped with all the knowledge and technology used and is trained well or experienced. Highly experienced and know-it-all cardiothoracic doctors can be found on MEDICOSA, a networked health care ecosystem.

Recent trends have shown the increasing demand for a cardiothoracic surgeon. This is quite obvious because of the fast paced world in which we live, where people prioritize their work over health. The long working hours, whether manual or sitting in front of the laptop screens is bound to increase diseases among people. The most vulnerable lot is the young generation, bracketed between 18 to 35 years of age. The opening up of fast food joints and the increasing number of electronic gadgets have just aggregated this problem. Other unhealthy habits, like smoking, drinking, imbalanced diet are other reasons.

It is important that we look after ourselves and get regular checkups and tests done. In case of ambiguity, it is best to consult a doctor. Since our heart and lungs are very vital and delicate, we must ensure that we visit the right cardiothoracic surgeon. By - Jessica

IT’S NOT A FAITH IN TECHNOLOGY, IT’S ABOUT THE FAITH PEOPLE HAVE ON DOCTORS

Best Doctors in Noida

Best thing about modernization is bringing medical knowledge into clinical practice. Doctors are a boon to this world. They are the most essential part of one’s life. Without doctors, life cannot be imagined. For once if we think that it’s okay if doctors won’t be there but what about the diseases? Will it stop? The answer is no, they won’t stop in fact they will be more deadly every single day.

In delhi, noida so far has the best set of doctors. Every specialist is found in NOIDA and this is what makes it a developed place. With MEDICOSA booking an appointment with these doctors has become even simpler. It is no longer important to stand in big ques for getting yourself checked. Book a prior appointment via medicosa and just visit the doctor. Isn’t it saving lots of time? Oh yes! It is..!

Most frequently visited doctor is a general physician. But it is very important for people to understand that some diseases can be cured only my specialists and not a general physician. Most of the times, if the case is severe, suggests those patients to go and show their case to specialist. But what if a doctor doesn’t suggest? It is very important that people should be aware of what is needed and at what time. Before visiting any doctor, it is very important to completely study about his/her profile. If there are any reviews mentioned about the doctor on the MEDICOSA site, please take those reviews seriously because a wrong doctor can risk your life. So don’t take any chances! Sometimes good doctors also give a bad impression! By - Trishala

PSYCHIATRY ; MIND GAMES, MUCH ?

Psychiatrist in Noida

Every lay person is familiar with the term “psychiatrist”. It is often used as a term for ribbing someone who is caught saying something unusual in a weak moment, and hence has been stamped with a negative connotation ever since. But, psychiatry is not something that needs to be feared or looked down upon. It is, in fact, a healing science. It is the profession that, for example, comes to the aid of a depressed 10^th grader who contemplates taking his life under parental and performance pressure for the so called “board” examinations that are supposed to determine how the rest of his or life may turn out.

Psychiatry could help people who have gone through the or deals of child abuse, or women who have withstood domestic violence. Some issues take such a toll on people’s minds that mere psychological counseling is not enough for them to recover, and they need to seek the help of medication to get through the mental turmoil. Psychiatrists are licensed to issue these medications, according to the patients’ needs. There are hospitals and even independent clinics in Noida that focus on providing counseling for specific issues like marital problems, anger management, depression and what not. So if the problem exists and the resources to solve it exist as well, why think a 100 times before taking the leap towards help, just for the fear of what people may think ?  By - Sukanya

ONLINE MEDICAL ADVICE

Online medical advice is available which is a boon to mankind. In this busy lifestyle, a person doesn’t even bother to go and get himself checked if he is unwell because he “DOESN’T HAVE TIME”. Ignoring the illness or a symptom means inviting serious complications. So to manage time and keeping a track on the health, MEDICOSA has come up with this online medical advice which enables a person to get the best doctor for his/her disease. Within few steps the problem of time and health both are solved.

This is something very common but this has something which might help all of us to choose online medical advice and we can trust on MEDICOSA for the same. I remember one of college incident, my room-mate Neeta had a bad pain in a throat. She could not understand why it was paining. She ignored it for several days. Few days later the pain was unbearable. But because of busy college schedule she couldn’t find time to visit a doctor. Later she found out that she was suffering from acute tonsillitis with severe ulcers.

The disease had gone to an extreme state. She regretted about not consulting a doctor. What if Neeta could know about online medical advice? Her disease wouldn’t have worsened so much. Online medical advice helps in giving the patient about the idea of their disease however it is not the substitute for the health checkups in the hospital. It is very important to understand the difference between the same. By -Trishala

ARE YOU HEALTHY ENOUGH?

The advent of technology has truly been a blessing to mankind. Not only has it made tasks simpler but also increased the efficiency a million times. We do not realize this, but technology has affected all of us, directly as well as indirectly. It has helped the economy and accelerated the growth process, it has made communication faster and simpler, reduced man work or labour and has changed our mindsets and the way we live our lives as well. It has also given us a lot of time for recreation.

Most of the people are spending this 'me time' on their interests and lifestyle habits. People are also prioritizing their health and working towards a fitter being. This is quite evident from the fact that you can easily spot a gymnasium or a health centre at every corner. A lot of celebrities are also promoting wellness on their social media networks. The government too is not lagging behind and is promoting healthcare through campaigning and various schemes. It is also promoting health care education in primary and secondary classes.

Physical education classes are held in school to not just promote wellness but also to encourage students to adopt a healthy lifestyle. These classes also help the students develop interest in various physical activities and they bring laurels to the school, making it a win-win situation. Noida, a part of Delhi NCR and a premier city of the country homes excellent health care and recreation centres. It also has some of the best doctors and hospitals. By - Jessica

PROCTOLOGY : OF THE NEGLECTED ORGANS DOWN SOUTH

Probably the only time we must have heard about colonoscopy would be while watching a Hollywood movie or sitcom, where the guy schedules a colonoscopy and comes out all irritated yet satisfied. This brings us to the fact that yes, we do have something called a colon, an entire colorectal system, in fact, that regulates how the food that enters our body exits it. Proctology is the study of the same system, which is made up of the anus, rectum and the colon, all of which determine waste regulation in our body. A number of problems may arise in the nether regions, like piles, constipation, hemorrhoids, colorectal cancer, anal cancer, albeit rare, anal fissures and what not. It is very common to see these problems among the general population and hence several proctology practices, and that too successfully, are running in the urban regions of Noida, Delhi, Gurgaon and the likes.

Diagnostic procedures for the colorectal abnormalities include colostomy, polypectomy, colectomy, strictureplasty, hemorrhoidectomy , colonoscopies etc. These are extremely vital to assist proctologists in colorectal surgeries. Technologies like sigmoidoscopy, defecating proctography, and proctoscopy are other vital technological tools used by proctologists to successfully alleviate the pain of their patients. So, since such a wide network of doctors thrive on the practice of proctology, it is needless to say that no one is alone in their problems of the excretory system, and help should be sought boldly and in a timely fashion.

SEROLOGY – do we know?

Serology in noida

Our body is so marvelous and complex, that we aren’t even aware of half the things it is made of ! For example, we know we have a lot of blood coursing through our veins ( who doesn’t !?!), but do we know what all it is made of ? The recipe of complex and minute elements that amalgamate to form this life giving elixir is a mystery to most people.

Long story short, there is a component called serum found in our blood, which forms antibodies to fight infectious diseases. These antibodies are life saving to such an extent that the serum from a person who has recovered from a particular disease, can be used to treat a person suffering from the same disease, since the serum in question has successfully produced antibodies that have helped combat the disease, effectively creating an immunity. This is known as an “anti serum” and is a major part of what is called immunotherapy.

The study of serums is called serology, and serology can be and is being used to study patterns of diseases across populations, as well as the cause and effects of these diseases. Serology is an excellent example of how science, specially biology, can combine with other disciplines to work towards achieving the greater good. By – Sukanya
