Kidney Stones

Renal Failure

(In cases of drug toxicity, Forced Alkaline Diuresis is given to patients, for immediate drug removal)

Kidney Stones, also known as Renal Calculus (Nephrolithiasis) are Crystal Oxalate Crystals. They are formed in the kidney from the minerals present in the kidney. These stones are formed normally, and pass through the Ureter without any symptoms. However, when they increase in size, they may block the Ureter, leading to Pain (Renal Colic)

Basic Management includes:

Re-Hydration i.e. Water Therapy

The Patient is asked to drink plenty amount of water.

Hypothalamus

Thyroid

Parathyroid (PTH)

Pancreas (It is endocrine as well as exocrine in nature)

Ovaries (Females)

Testes (Males)

The Thyroid Gland is one of the largest endocrine glands in the human body. Anatomically, it is found in the anterior side of the neck, below the Adam’s apple (i.e. Laryngeal Prominence) 

The Endocrine Thyroid Gland secretes 3 Hormones:

T3 i.e. Triiodothyronine

T4 i.e. Thyroxine

Calcitonin 

A Thyroid Specialist is a medical professional who deals with the Physiology & the pathology related to the Thyroid Gland.

The Functional Disorders of the Thyroid Gland are described on the basis of Over or Under Secretion of the above discussed hormones.

They are:

Hyper-Thyroidism

It is a clinical and a biochemical state caused by excess production of thyroid hormones. It is also called as Thyrotoxicosis.

Symptoms are:

Nervousness

Here’s how asthma can worsen your normal life

Person suffering from asthma can very well relate to this article! The impact of asthma is way too high on a person’s life who is suffering from it! Asthma is a condition which affects the pulmonary system. In layman terms asthma is a condition where there is difficulty in breathing because of the narrowing and inflammation of lungs. You must be thinking that how a pulmonary disorder can affect the other systems? Well, other systems are also affected which can make it difficult for you to live a normal life.

Sleep- The word is self-explanatory. Image someone holding your nose while you are asleep. Can you still sleep well? No. you would get oxygen to breathe. The same happens with the person suffering from asthma. Breathing is interrupted making it difficult for a person to have sound sleep as a result it leads to irritation throughout the day. Lack of sleep leads to insomnia which creates a lot of chaos in hormone production. Proper sleeping medications must be started if the complication is increased.

Exercise- When you exercise, you need more oxygen. You breathe heavy. This is in the case of a normal person. Imagine what will happen to a person who is suffering from asthma? Exercise is very difficult for asthma people. Lack of exercise brings in immobility which in turn leads to many cardiovascular disorders. A person suffering from asthma must be very careful about his/her medications if he is planning for exercises. An inhaler should always be kept nearby to avoid breathlessness.

These are just 2 things which are affected because of asthma. More points will be covered up in the next article. Stay tuned! By- Dt. Trishala Chopra

Diabetologist- Medical professional who provides expert management to the patients suffering from DM

The World Health Organization defines Diabetes Mellitus (DM) as a heterogeneous metabolic disorder, which is characterized by a common feature of chronic hyperglycaemia (i.e. Raised Blood Sugar Levels).

A Diabetologist is a medical professional who provides expert management to the patients suffering from DM.

He/She is an UG Graduate i.e. MBBS having a Post Graduation Degree (i.e. MD) as an endocrinologist, with specialization in treatment of Diabetes Mellitus.

DM is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. 

The incidence is rising in almost all developed nations, owing to the sedentary lifestyle (i.e. Reduced Physical Activity) and obesity.

The reason of DM being of such a concern is its complications, viz:

Loss Of Sensations

Gangrene 

(In certain cases of gangrene, the last stage is amputation)

Diabetic Foot

Blindness 

A Diabetologist decides the treatment protocol, based on two factors:

Type Of DM

Age of the patient

Functionally, Diabetes Mellitus is of two types:

Type  I DM 

The Type I DM is also called as Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM), because in this condition, there is a defect in the Insulin Secretion from the Beta Cells of Islets Of Endocrine Pancreas, and hence Insulin Therapy is recommended for such patients.

Because of its occurrence in the young, it was earlier called as Juvenile Onset Diabetes.

Type II DM

The Type I DM is also called as Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) as there is Normal Secretion, but poor uptake of insulin by the cells. By- Dt. Trishala Chopra

Care of our natural clothes- the skin, cosmetic surgeon

The largest sense organ of the human body is the skin. It is the primary barrier that germs encounter when they try to invade the privacy of the internal organs. So it is needless to mention that care of the skin is of utmost importance. It is highly efficient as long as it is maintained properly, and that is precisely where the role of a dermatologist comes in.

A physician, who deals in the treatment and care of human skin and associated body parts like hair and nails, is a dermatologist; and hence it can be inferred that that branch of medical science that is concerned with the body parts mentioned above, is termed as dermatology. Interestingly, dermatologists even treat cosmetic ailments of human beings. Noida has a large arsenal of competent dermatologists and strives to make dermatology a principal branch in hospitals and health care centres in and around Noida.

In Noida, dermatologists are the sole leaders in the vast field of cosmetic ailments and surgery. Some physicians, who are aspiring to become dermatologists, complete fellowships in the field of dermatology. However, many present dermatologists in Noida have been trained in their respective residency on various aspects of dermatology. A rather new aspect being practiced in Noida is dermatoepidemiology. To the layman, suffice it to say that it involves the study of the skin, but at the population level.

Dermatology today, is a stream with wide range of solutions for a wide range of problems. It has become a very significant branch of medicine and promises to advance to a much higher levels in the future, ensuring that the saviour for our skins is here. By- Rounak Bose
