Osteoporosis is a fairly common problem that makes the bones weak and fractures easily. An optimal diet involves enough protein and calories and, of course, calcium and vitamin D, which play a crucial role in maintaining proper bone health and preventing Osteoporosis. The optimal intake in young men and women recovering from Osteoporosis is 600 IU daily. It will help prevent bone loss and reduce the risk of fractures.

It’s said that prevention is better than cure; pay heed to it. Ensure adequate consumption of calcium and vitamin D, whether one gets them from the diet or supplements. This strategy is much better than any treatment for the disease. Discuss these with your doctor to arrive at a suitable option.

Dr. Sandeep Kapoor,

Director Orthopedics & Healthcity Hospital, Trauma & Joint Replacement Surgeon, Lucknow

Vitamin D is vital for the absorption of calcium in the body from our diet, but if you lack Vitamin D, you will not be able to absorb it, despite having calcium in your diet. As a result, to maintain calcium levels in the blood, the bones release calcium into the blood & in turn, get deficient in calcium leading to Osteoporosis. 

The Deficiency of vitamin D is like an epidemic these days as the number of such patients is increasing. The bones become osteoporotic, and the patient also experiences a lack of alertness, tiredness, and muscle pain. Fish liver oils, sunlight, and mushrooms are excellent sources of vitamin D, and routine blood testing to check vitamin D3 levels is advisable.

Dr. Chirag Arora,

Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies worldwide. Vitamin D plays an essential role in the absorption of calcium and phosphorous from the diet and hence helps in maintaining bone density. People with dark skin, the elderly, pregnant women, and bedridden people are more likely to be vitamin D deficient, and it’s often associated with Osteoporosis, joint pains, aches, and fractures. Taking a balanced diet, getting adequate exposure to sunlight, and engaging in physical activity all help maintain bone density. Foods such as milk and milk products such as paneer, eggs, fish, mutton, and cod liver oil are great sources of vitamin D. Physical activity( 30 minutes per day, at least four times per week )is important to maintain bone density.

Dr. Santosh Shetty,

MBBS, MS (Ortho), MCh (Ortho), Robotic Joint Replacement, CritiCare Asia Group of Hospitals, Director & Head Department of Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement – Surana Group of Hospitals, Mumbai

The two major causes of vitamin D deficiency are: not enough vitamin D in your diet and sunlight, and a simple way to keep fit is to get good sunlight exposure and eat foods rich in vitamin D like mushrooms, fish, egg yolk, yeast, milk, and milk products.

To stay fit, Vitamin D is an essential micronutrient in our body that acts like a hormone; however, many people are unknowingly deficient in this vitamin, making it a global problem.

Vitamin D3 deficiency can cause fatigue, bone pain, muscle weakness, muscle aches, cramps, or mood changes such as depression. Osteoporosis is known as “the silent killer” because it has no symptoms, and patients are unaware of their bone loss until they experience a fracture. A simple bone test to detect the symptoms is recommended.

Dr. Rahul Kumar,

MBBS, MS (Ortho), Joint Replacement Surgeon, Orthopedic surgeon, Senior Consultant – Paras Hospital, Gurugram

Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption from the gut and maintains adequate serum calcium concentration, making it indispensable for the normal mineralization of bones. Vitamin D is also required for bone remodelling by osteoblasts and osteoclasts, and its deficiency accelerates bone turn over and bone loss, leading to Osteoporosis.

Osteoporotic bones have a weak internal structure and poor mineralization, making them prone to fractures, especially in the elderly population.

Postmenopausal females are also at higher risk for Osteoporosis. Regular calcium and vitamin D supplementation has been shown to decrease the risk of osteoporotic fractures, especially hip fractures.

Dr. Tushar Mehta,

MBBS, DNB (Ortho), MNAMS,

Sports Injury & Regenerative Medicine Expert,

Founder – The Ashar Clinics, Gurugram

Vitamin D is necessary for strong bones and muscles. Without Vitamin D, our bodies cannot effectively absorb calcium, which is essential to good bone health. Children who lack Vitamin D develop a condition called rickets, which causes bone weakness, bowed legs, and other skeletal deformities, such as stooped posture.

We see a lot of young females coming to us with generalized body aches and weakness at The Ashar Clinics. Regular intake of calcium and vitamin D certainly decreases the risk of osteoporotic fractures, especially hip & spine fractures.

Vitamin D is an often-overlooked, under-consumed nutrient that plays a major role in your overall health. It is called the “sunshine vitamin.” Vitamin D helps your intestines absorb calcium from your diet and improves bone mineral density. It influences bone microstructure and turnover, allowing osteoporotic bone to become strong. The main reasons for low vitamin D levels are a lack of vitamin D-rich foods in the diet and inadequate exposure to sunlight, which cause loss of bone density and contribute to Osteoporosis and fractures. Exposure to sunlight remains the primary source of vitamin D. Osteoporosis is incurable, but with medicines and lifestyle changes, you can slow or even stop it. Regular exercise, a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and the prevention of falls can all make a difference.

Dr. Abhishek Gupta,

MS Orthopedics, FASM (USA), FSSI (S Korea),

Senior Consultant Arthroscopy & Joint Replacement Surgeon,

Director-Ortho Wellness & Joints Clinic, Jaipur

Vitamin D (VD) is a workhorse nutrient; its endogenous production is UV-B ray dependent, and we can obtain it externally through dietary intake and supplements. Diet, sunlight exposure, age, sex, BMI, physical activity, and smoking can affect the serum VD level. VD deficiency can cause or worsen Osteoporosis (bone weakness), induce osteomalacia, impairs bone metabolism, and increase the risk of fractures. It has an impact on the functioning of other vital organs and immunity.

Check your serum vitamin D3 level and take an initial loading dose in consultation with your orthopaedic doctor. I recommend 15 minutes of daily direct skin sun exposure, at least four days a week, to replenish your VD stores. You may also take foods like milk, eggs, cheese, fortified cereals, soymilk, fish liver oils, etc.

Dr. Nikunj Agrawal,

MBBS, DNB (Orth), MNAMS (Orth), MRCS Ed (UK), M.Ch. ( Tr & Orth- Edinburgh, UK),FAJR (Singapore), FARS (Harvard, USA), Senior Consultant Orthopedics,

Joint Replacements and Sports Arthroscopy, Noida                                                                                                              

Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most common deficiencies affecting the Indian population. Vitamin D is a hormone in our body that plays three crucial roles in bone health: it helps with calcium absorption from food in the intestine, ensures proper bone renewal and mineralization, helps keep muscles strong, and reduces the risk of falling.

A deficiency of Vitamin D leads to osteomalacia and Osteoporosis, which is the reduction of bone mineral density that can cause tiredness, back pain, and fatigue and can lead to fractures from trivial falls. Vitamin D is made in the skin when exposed to UV-B rays in sunlight. Only a few foods contain vitamin D, so exposing the skin to sunlight is how we get the vitamin D our body needs.

Dr. Karma Raj Singh, MS, DNB, MCh (Orth),

Director-Omega Plus Hospital, Secretary Varanasi Orthopaedic Association, Varanasi

Vitamin D is responsible for the proper absorption of calcium in the gut. Osteoporosis is essentially the weakening of bones due to ageing, disease, and infirmity and can definitely be slowed down and partly prevented by judicious use of regular calcium, vitamin D, and exercise with a balanced diet. On the other hand, Osteoporosis manifests in many ways, like low-impact trauma, back pain, and cervical spondylosis, though its impact is much more felt in regularly loaded joints such as the knees and the back and is easily preventable.

The post Early Osteoporosis is a Sign of Vitamin D Deficiency: Top 10 Bone Specialists Share Advice appeared first on Republic News Today.

December 03: Lung cancer is usually associated with smoking and an older person’s disease, but it also affects young non smokers especially post pandemic. According to health experts, a healthy diet, regular exercise and stress-relieving activities can assist individuals in coping with the negative effects of cancer treatment and the disease itself.

Lung cancer symptoms – such as persistent cough, chest pain, fever, frequent respiratory infections, or chronic bronchitis – strongly resemble the symptoms of other health conditions. Often, patients don’t develop noticeable symptoms until the disease has progressed to an advanced stage. Here are some advices from the best cancer specialists on how pandemic has increase the cancer risk among youngsters.

Dr. Sachinder Jain Nawal,

MBBS, DCh, MD pediatrics,

DM Respiratory medicine international force graduate pediatric certification in pediatrics,

Consultant – Sunrise Hospital & Arihant Hospital, Gurugram.

If any of these signs are present, please meet with your health care provider: Trouble breathing or shortness of breath that does not go away even after stopping exercise, feeling like you are not getting enough air, Chronic cough, Coughing out blood, having chronic mucus production, and having chronic chest pain lasting for more than a month in various forms when you breathe in or cough are warning signs of lung disease.

Dr. Satvik Khaddar,

MD, DM Medical Oncology,

Consultant Medical Oncologist, Indore.

Though a cancer diagnosis is a challenging moment in someone’s life, remember that most cancers are treatable. No matter what stage of cancer is, setting short-term and long-term goals will help define and achieve life’s purposes. Find ways that help you relax, try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, let your friends and family help you, talk to other people with cancer through support groups, and communicate freely with your oncologist for advice. You can live with hope for a cure, a remission, or stable cancer without suffering and enjoy a high quality of life with family and friends for as long as possible.

Dr. Abhijit Ahuja,

MD (Pulmonary Medicine), EDRM (Italy), Fellowship in Interventional Pulmonology & Thoracic Oncology Consultant – Saifee Hospital, Zen & Sushrut Hospital, Mumbai.

Lung cancer has become the most diagnosed cancer & leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. It accounts for 5.9% of all cancers and 8.1% of all cancer-related deaths in our country. Around 80% of these are tobacco smokers. Even if you haven’t smoked a cigarette, there are other important risk factors like family history of the disease, exposure to second-hand smoke, carcinogens such as asbestos, radon, arsenic and even air pollution. If you experience persistent breathlessness, recurring chest infections, unexplained loss of appetite or weight & coughing up blood, you must reach out to your pulmonologist at the earliest for evaluation.  Research has shown that lung cancer screening can catch tumors when they’re curable.

Dr. Saurabh Gupta,

M.CH (Surgical Oncology), Senior Consultant & Unit Head Oncologist & Robotic Cancer Surgeon (Seoul, Korea) Venkateshwar Cancer Hospital , New Delhi.

Cigarette smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Youths are getting addicted to tobacco or smoking as early as 16-17 years of age, getting influenced by film stars or by their peer group. Even secondhand smoke/passive smoking affects all children at home, predisposing them to lung cancer. Youth should be sensitized towards the ill effects of tobacco and should be engaged in productive work for the nation. Strict law enforcement to curb tobacco use/sale is the need of the hour.

Environmental pollution also adds to this cause. Healthy youth is the future of any nation.

STOP TOBACCO – CONTROL CANCER – BUILD A STRONG NATION!

Dr. P Vijay Karan Reddy,

MD RT, FUICC(US), FAROI(US), FUICC(UK), ESMO(Med Onc), AMPH Consultant Oncologist, Apollo Cancer Institute, Hyderabad.

The risk factor for lung cancer is smoking. Although not everyone who smokes will get lung cancer, smoking dramatically increases the risk. Your body can repair a large portion of the harm caused by the toxins in cigarette smoke after you stop. Roughly 10–15 percent of lung cancer patients have no smoking history. Some factors, besides smoking, that may increase your risk of lung cancer include genetics, exposure to substances like arsenic, diesel exhaust, and some silica and chromium, an improper diet, and air pollution.

The nicotine in the e-cigarettes gets them addicted at an early age, and once that happens, there is no turning back. Whether its hookah, sheesha, or E cigarettes, tobacco is tobacco, and the less you smoke, the safer you are.

Dr. Shivakumar Uppala,

MBBS, MS, MCH (Surgical Oncology) FAIS, FMAS Consultant Surgical Oncologist AND Medical Director Trust in Hospital and Norgh Bangalore Hospital, Bangalore Smoking is the single most important risk factor that causes lung cancer. With advancements in treatment for lung cancer, most early lung cancers can be cured with surgery. Robotic surgery allows us to perform the most complex surgeries with greater ease, faster post-operative recovery, and fewer complications. Young people should be aware of the side effects of smoking, and the most important thing is that people think smokeless tobacco has no risk of cancer. In truth, smokeless tobacco is equal to other forms of tobacco with respect to lung cancer risk. We need to educate young people about not taking up cigarette smoking and avoiding all forms of tobacco to keep their lung health in check.

Dr. Jojo V Joseph,

MS (Surgery), MCh (oncosurgery),

Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist – Caritas Cancer Institute Kottayam & Indiragandhi co op Hospital, Kochi.

Passive smoking (breathing the smoke coming out of a smoker) and atmospheric pollution, especially vehicle exhaust and industrial pollution, are the main causes of lung cancer in nonsmokers in India. Inhalation of smoke coming out of burning plastic openly is another common cause of lung cancer in non-smokers in India. Banning tobacco and minimizing atmospheric pollution are the keys to stopping lung cancer deaths in India. Let’s all join together to fight for a smoke-free and pollution-free India. This should begin with our own home.

Dr. Bharat Ashok Vaswani,

MD, DM, MRCP-UK (Medical Oncology), ECMO,

PDCR Senior Medical Oncologist and Hematologist -Yashoda Hospital, Secunderabad.

Lung cancer, particularly in young people, is on the rise; females have more cancers at a younger age than males, which is partly due to smoking, but the main reason is a change in genomics, specifically the presence of some driver mutations in females. The three most common driver mutations causing lung cancer are EGFR, ALK, and ROS amplification. The clinical part of it is that nowadays we have so many effective targeted new treatments based on these molecular alterations, which help increase the lifespan and improve the quality of life for these cancer patients.

The post Lung Cancer Awareness Month: Top 8 Cancer Specialists Advices on how Smoking Increases the Risk of Cancer appeared first on Republic News Today.

December 2: In India, of the approximately 2.35 million people living with HIV (PLHIV), only 1.78 million know their status. Important gains made in HIV testing nationwide have also been threatened over recent years, with people facing obstacles to accessing diagnostics during the pandemic. Bridging India’s testing gap is essential to strengthen the nation’s infection response and help meet the UNAIDS’ first goal – to diagnose 95% of all HIV-positive patients, which can lead to effective treatment for those diagnosed, prompting viral suppression and an end to new HIV infections by 2030.

Early and accurate detection of HIV positive patients is important to simplify the patient journey to access the needed care as quickly as possible. More so, it prevents future HIV transmissions, with individuals who are unaware of their infection 3.5 times more likely to transmit the virus to someone else. It also reduces the risk of patient morbidity and mortality.

Dr. Ishwar Gilada, Consultant in HIV in Infectious Diseases, Unison Medicare and Research Centre Mumbai and President of AIDs Society of India, said, “Across India, the HIV burden is significant. Yet, only 79.4% of the total estimated people living with HIV nationwide have been diagnosed positive. There remains a clear need to bridge the availability of diagnostic solutions so more people can have access to testing services. By using simple and scalable HIV testing offerings like rapid point-of-care tests under robust regulatory processes, we can plug such gaps in testing. Early testing and detection of infection, especially in acute cases where individuals have higher risk of transmission owing to high viral load, is critical. This facilitates timely treatment which can support better patient outcomes, while also curbing the spread of infection.”

Innovations like point-of-care testing, which refers to rapid HIV screening performed in clinical settings by professionals, are crucial to ensure timely infection detection. It also improves access to diagnostics, empowering people to easily know their infection status with accurate results in just 20 minutes. Rapid point-of-care solutions are especially critical in a nation like India, where access to diagnostics is limited in remote or rural areasof the country, and voluntary testing is also low.

Today, point-of-care testing standards continue to evolve, with the introduction of evidence-backed 4^th generation technology-based rapid tests, surpassing the previous era of 2^nd and 3^rd generation tests. These new tests are simple-to-use and identify 28% of infections missed by current 3^rd generation rapid tests, ensuring a larger segment of the population is aware of their infection status so they can swiftly access quality healthcare to manage their conditions. The test assists early detection, capable of identifying both HIV antibodies and the antigen, which can appear even 15-25 days after infection. Thus, it is more accurate in a shorter period of time. This is also crucial in blood bank screenings, where the window period of HIV detection can be almost halved.

Sunil Mehra, General Manager for Abbott’s Rapid Diagnostics business in India,commented, “Abbott is committed to scaling access of HIV diagnostic solutions to individuals at the point of care, ensuring fast and accurate results at critical points of infection. We believe that the 4^th generation of point-of-care testing reflects a new standard of testing, which supports earlier detection of HIV-positive cases, even when viral load is lesser, making way for new possibilities in patient care. In India, we are supporting private and government hospitals and diagnostic centres with these next-generation tools to help address the country’s HIV burden.”

4^th generation testing, equipped with high sensitivity and specificity, detects more acute infections,which account for 5 to 20% of all HIV infections among people seeking testing, compared to the previous generation of tests. This helps close the window period of detection earlier, within as early as 12 days of living with the HIV infection, as compared to a typical 20 days or later time period of detection seen by 3^rd generation tests.

Thus, HIV-positive patients can be quickly identified and linked to care. The chain of transmission can also be broken, which is especially important as acute infections are associated with higher viral load and risk of transmission.

Innovation in testing is thekey to supporting India’s efforts to reduce the national HIV burden, eliminate stigma, and enhance patient outcomes through access to early and appropriate treatment.

Informative seminar on World Piles Day by CHIRAG GLOBAL HOSPITAL

India, November 25: November 20th is recognized as “WORLD PILES DAY” across the globe and on this very important day, CHIRAG GLOBAL HOSPITAL  (www.chiragglobalhospitals.com) organized a seminar with the topic ‘3 P’s for SAFE BOTTOMS’ to educate people on prevention tips for PILES, Fistula, and other colorectal disorders. Chirag hospital is a pioneer in the field of proctology with over 25 years of experience and treated a few thousand patients suffering from various disorders related to the Colon, rectum, and anus. Chirag Global Hospital is the first exclusive center in the entire South INDIA to incorporate the latest technology, and techniques, and to practice exclusively for the treatment of various proctology disorders.

Dr. Rajasekhar Mysore who is the founder and chief proctologist of Chirag Global Hospital chaired the event aside giving valuable tips on how to prevent colorectal disorders like piles, fistula, and others. The session is also attended by the guest of honor, Dr. Anjanappa, who is a senior and respected surgeon apart from his current role as the state president of Vokkaligara Sangha, Karnataka. He is also a proud receiver of the “Kannada Rajyotsava awardee”.

Dr. Rajasekhar Mysore started the session by saying that PILES is not a disease but a disorder, mainly caused due to bad lifestyle and food habits. He once again emphasized the importance of qualified and experienced proctologists for the right treatment of piles, fistula, and other colorectal disorders. He also discussed the importance of right and early diagnosis as many patients with colorectal disorders are often misadvised and miss the diagnosis of fatal diseases like colon and rectum cancers. He also recalled that Chirag hospital is one of the first ones in the country to use Laser technology for the treatment of piles, fistula, and other proctology disorders. He unveiled the launch of the new super specialty hospital exclusively for colorectal disorders in mid-next year. Dr. Rajasekhar shared his dream of having a dedicated and proactive R&D (research and development) division in the new setup so that CHIRAG GLOBAL HOSPITAL  will innovate many more gadgets, technology as well as treatment techniques in the treatment of various colorectal disorders. He also promised to commence education programs for the new generation of surgeons in the field of coloproctology.

Dr. Anjanappa spoke about his stint as a colorectal surgeon himself and the importance of expert doctors for proctology. He raised a slogan in his fashion, “Ass is the boss of the body”. He quoted the preceding considering the magnitude of the suffering patients undergo and the huge chunk of the population suffering from various colorectal disorders. Dr. Anjanappa recollected the two-decade-long friendship and professional acquaintance with Dr. Rajasekhar Mysore and praised him for his dedicated and relentless work in the field of proctology for the last 35 years.

In the event, Dr. Manjunath Joshi & Dr. Prithvija emphasized the role of the Ayurvedic approach as well as Yoga asanas to prevent piles and other colorectal disorders. Dr. Manjunath Joshi busted so many myths that are practiced in our day-to-day life about food and the type of foods that are consumed.

Dr. Shreedevi N, who is a surgical gastroenterologist and colorectal surgeon at Chirag Global Hospital, indicated the latest techniques and technology that the Chirag Global Hospital practices in the process of treating piles and other colorectal disorders. She also presented the disruptive innovation that Dr. Rajasekhar has done by a portable digital video recto scope called “Antharnethra” helping numerous doctors in prompt diagnosis. The said device is available at as less as 15,000 INR for practicing colorectal surgeons making any surgeon to afford the said device against the costly and unaffordable VRS units available in the market that range anywhere between 4 lakhs INR to 7 lakhs INR.

As doctors at Chirag Global Hospital (www.chiraghospital.in) believe that a multi-disciplinary approach is a more efficient way for the right diagnosis, Dr. Chandrika who is a senior and leading gynecologist spoke about how piles make pregnancy painful for few mothers. She also spoke about the prevention methods for pregnant mothers to avoid piles disorders. Dr. Chandrika gave a detailed presentation on the topic “Piles during Pregnancy” that enlightened the audience.

And Dr. Rajdeep Mysore who is the founder and practicing dermato surgeon & cosmetic dermatologist at CHARMA CLINICS, presented on how patients confuse PROCTOLOGY disorders with DERMATOLOGY issues. He detailed a couple of commonly misunderstood disorders including pilonidal sinus and perianal abscess. Dr. Rajadeep strongly advised the dermatologist community to be diligent in recognizing proctology disorders and referring them to a qualified proctologist. Doing so, the patients shall not fall for the wrong diagnosis, especially not miss identifying serious diseases like Tuberculosis, malignancies, etc.

November 19: Vaccination of babies throughout childhood is essential because it helps provide immunity and protect against deadly diseases before children are exposed to them. Different types of vaccines work in different ways to offer protection. With all types of vaccines, the body remembers how to fight that infection in the future.

But how does that work? It does it by strengthening the body’s immune system. The body’s immune system is not fully developed at birth which can put the child at a greater risk for infection. Here are some advices from top 8 pediatricians about the importance of vaccinating your child at the right time.

Dr Sachinder Jain Nawal:

MBBS, DCH, MD, Pediatric, DM (chest + Resp), International Post graduate

Pediatric Certification, Consultant, Sunrise Hospital and Arihant Hospital, Gurugram

Delayed vaccination is never an ideal Situation! Any delay beyond 28 days of the prescribed age is called delayed vaccination. The right age for vaccination is calculated based on when the feto-maternal immunity winds off and the child becomes liable to catch an infection. The leading causes of mortality in India are Vaccine-Preventable Disease (VPV), like Diarrhea, Pneumonia, Measles, Diphtheria, Haemophilus Influenza, and Japanese encephalitis.

All these can be prevented by vaccination at the right age. Even if the disease occurs after vaccination, it will not become severe. By delaying and spacing out your child’s vaccine, you‘ll be increasing your visits to the health care providers which increases your child’s anxiety and needle fear. So, stitch in time saves nine.

Dr Mohamed Sajjid:

MBBS, MD (Pediatrics), DM (Neonatology)

Pediatrician and Neonatologist – M S Child Care Clinic, Chennai

Vaccines are a boon to the babies. They mimic natural infection and hence prevent or mitigate the sufferings due to actual infection. The diseases controlled by vaccines are also called as vaccine preventable diseases (VPDs). The modern vaccines are painless and have minimal or no side effects at all. It is the birthright of all the children to get vaccinated, boosting up the immunity. Vaccine delays can be catastrophic and lead to the vaccine preventable diseases becoming quite severe resulting in very serious consequences. It is absolutely prudent of the parents to vaccinate their babies on time as per the schedule. Remember the adage, ‘a stitch in time saves nine’.

I urge all the parents to vaccinate their babies on time and let their babies get the immense benefits. Healthy babies contribute to a healthy nation. Happy vaccinating your babies!

Dr Srikanth Darisetty:

MD (Pediatrics), PGPN (USA), Senior Consultant Pediatrics – Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad

Vaccines help prevent infectious diseases that once killed or seriously harmed many children. Without vaccines, your children are at risk of contracting a serious illness, including measles, mumps, whooping cough, and flu, which could result in disability or even death.

The CDC schedule of vaccines is carefully timed to protect children when they are most vulnerable to diseases and when the vaccines will produce the strongest response from the child’s immune system. It is, therefore, crucial to follow the schedule as closely as possible.

Dr Nitin Miyar Nayak:

MBBS, DCH, DNB Pediatrics, FPN

Consultant Pediatric Nephrologist -NU Hospitals, Bangalore

Diarrhea is the fourth leading cause of death among children below the age of five, responsible for nearly 500,000 deaths annually. Rotavirus infection accounts for 29.3% of all diarrheal deaths in children under the age of five.

The WHO estimates that rotavirus diarrhea results in half a million deaths and 2.4 million hospitalizations in developing countries annually. Improved sanitation and washing hands regularly, along with improvements in nutrition among under-five children, are important in the prevention of rotavirus infections.

However, vaccination is the best way to prevent these infections. Most babies who get the rotavirus vaccine will be protected from severe rotavirus diarrhea. The WHO recommended that rotavirus vaccines be included in immunization programs.

Dr Saurabh Piparsania:

MBBS, DNB (Pediatrics), MNAMS

Child specialist and Neonatologist – Vatsalya Clinic, Indore

Immunization with vaccines has delivered an excellent result in reducing morbidity& mortality from childhood infection in the last 50 years. There has been a substantial reduction in the incidence of many vaccine-preventable diseases.

Immunization is a proven tool for controlling & even eradicating the disease. The latest in this is against the covid-19 pandemic. We have seen how effectively the vaccine coverage against covid-19 infection is under control. It is rightly said- Immunization is one of the great triumphs of modern medicine. Its appeal rests in the age-old adage -prevention is better than cure!

So I request everyone to kindly vaccinate your children with the available vaccine to build a healthy & disease-free future generation.

Dr Aditi Singh:

MBBS, DCH, MRCPCH (UK), Family Physician

Pediatrician and Neonatologist – Apollo Hospital,

Founder – Nulife Family Clinic, Gurugram

A lot of thought and scientific research goes into making the immunization schedule for our children by the government and health policymakers.

A delayed vaccines defined as BCG given after a month of birth, DPT was given after ten weeks, or the measles vaccine due 15 months; the child may get a severe form of this disease, including seizures. We can postpone a vaccine if our child has a fever or the doctor asks us to wait for the shot.

We make our children susceptible to these infections by delaying their vaccination. By the age of two years, a child gets immunity for as many as 15 diseases if we follow the schedule given in only nine visits by using combination vaccines. So think about it next time you want to miss or delay a vaccine dose for your child.

Dr Santanu Sen:

FRCPCH, FRCP (Lon & Edin), CCT (UK), Senior Consultant

Pediatric Oncology & BMT -Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Mumbai

The body’s immune system is not fully-developed at birth which can put the child at a greater risk for infection. Vaccines reduce the baby’s risk of infection by working with the body’s natural defenses to help safely develop protection against disease. Without vaccines, the child is at risk for serious illness or even death from disease like measles and whooping cough.

Sometimes, parents are worried about vaccine safety. Before a new vaccine is even given to people, they are extensively tested to ensure that they are safe and effective for children. It can sometimes take years of testing before a vaccine is approved.

Remember, Prevention is better than a cure. They are highly effective, safe, and an easy way to help keep your family healthy.

Dr. Saheli Dasgupta:

MBBS, MD (Pediatrics), FIAP (Pediatrics Critical Care), MIAP, MPICC

Consultant Pediatrician – Amri Hospitals,

Pediatric ICU In-Charge – RKM Matribhavan Hospital, Kolkata

Prevention is better than cure it’s an adage that holds for so many things especially when it’s a matter of our child’s good health and safety. When a baby is born in this world his immunity is fragile. Vaccines help in boosting immunity against deadly diseases like measles, tetanus, Diptheria, whooping cough, diarrhea, and pneumonia.

Globally nearly 30 percent of under-five deaths are due to vaccine-preventable diseases. Vaccines not only boost immunity, but it also prevents the spread of disease in the community. Children vaccinated just before exposure to deadly diseases may not develop antibodies as the vaccine takes time in building immunity. So vaccination at right time can help in producing antibodies that provide stronger immunity.

So timely vaccinate your child.

October 31: Lower back pain has become very common among people these days. Young professionals are also suffering from this because of the schedule they have. There could be many possible reasons for this lower back pain; age can be one factor or injury could be another. But when we talk about the most common reason, then it is because of sitting in the wrong postures.

And while we might know the cause of the problem, talking about the solution is very important. And the appropriate solution is a Physiotherapist or a Chiropractor. But the question arises of whom to go to, and in this article, we will discuss the difference between a Physiotherapist and a Chiropractor. And who is better for your lower back pain treatment.

Chiropractor vs. Physiotherapist for back pain treatment

If you are experiencing any pain from injury or daily activities, you must be wondering whether you should consult Relevium to hire a Chiropractor or Physiotherapist in Noida. Although Physiotherapy and chiropractic are different, there is so much common in both

Both Physiotherapist and Chiropractor treat-

• Joint pain
• Neck pain
• Motion issues
• Knee pain
• Shoulder pain
• Soft tissue issues
• Skeletal pain
• And so much more

Hence it would be right to say that there is an overlap in what they both treat. But the differences occur as we go deep into the methods they use for physiotherapy treatments.

• While treating injuries and motion issues physiotherapist has a range of methods and techniques whereas chiropractor focuses on joint adjustments.
• Physiotherapy focuses on pain-free movement whereas the focus of chiropractic is the alignment of the spine.
• Physiotherapy focuses on all body movement and body function whereas chiropractic focuses on spine-related issues.

Best Physiotherapistfor lower back pain

The basic role of the physiotherapist is to help you achieve the highest level of movement to function better in daily life. They help you recover from injuries, pain, etc with the help of lower back pain exercises and also help you discover what causes lower back pain.

A common form of Physical therapy for lower back pain includes

1. Active physical therapy- This includes things done by the patient like specific exercises and stretching. And this is the most common treatment plan for back pain.
2. Passive physical therapy- This includes things done to the patient like heat application, ice treatment, electrical stimulation, etc.

Best Chiropractor for lower back pain

As we have already mentioned that chiropractor focuses on spinal manipulation and treatment of the surrounding parts.

Core chiropractic treatment for lower back pain through manual treatment includes:

1. Spinal manipulation- This involves a high-velocity short lever arm thrust that is applied to the abnormal vertebra to improve functionality, reduce nerve irritability, and restore range of motion in the back.
2. Mobilization- Chiropractic activation alludes to low-speed control, development, and extending of the muscles and joints, fully intent on expanding the scope of movement inside those areas.

Chiropractors use a progression of treatments intended to control the spine, joints, and tissues of the body to ease pain and improve functions. By and large, this would be referred to as Spinal Manipulative Treatment (SMT), however, there are numerous other chiropractic treatment techniques.

A chiropractor’s approach to the treatment depends on the requirements of a patient, usually starting with less invasive treatments before moving on to some aggressive methods.

How long do you have to see a Chiropractor or Physiotherapist for lower back pain to heal?

Back pain causes discomfort and can hamper the whole body and daily activities. The spine is the core of our nervous system, and a misalignment there can cause a lot of trouble. And in case you are wondering how long it can take for a Chiropractor to heal your back pain, then there cannot be one particular answer to this.

Sometimes people feel better immediately as there is no serious injury and they just needed to release the strain in the body. In case of bone issues, it can take up to 5 to 6 weeks.

And if there is a torn ligament, then it could take 6 to 8 weeks to feel better. And the injuries related to discs may take up to 3 months or more.

Which one is better Physiotherapy or Chiropractic?

Chiropractic and physiotherapy both have been proven beneficial for patients looking to recover from back pain. Many benefits of both the treatments overlap, making it difficult to choose.

On the off chance that you have experienced a recent injury in your back or you are hoping to ease ongoing pain, it is essential to consider all your treatment choices to assist you with expanding your personal satisfaction. Chiropractic and physiotherapy are just two of a few treatments accessible to assist you with reestablishing your wellbeing.

Moreover, you might observe that incorporating the two treatments into your health plan can help you. Or then again you might feel that one treatment is better for you over the other. The choice is personal and narrows down to our current health situation.

Summary

The fact is that your healing requires the right treatment, so here at Relevium.in we are providing both Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatments. To anyone who is looking for chiropractor for lower back pain or a physiotherapist for lower back pain then we a one stop solution.
