    Celebrating Children with Neuro-Divergence

    The term "neurodivergent" came from the related term "neurodiversity." Judy Singer, an Australian sociologist, coined the word "neurodiversity" in 1998 to recognize that everyone's brain develops in a unique way.

    Individuals with Neuro-Divergence often experience differences in mental function, learning styles, sensory processing, communication styles and behaviors. They may struggle with soft skills such as emotional intelligence, social interactions, or the ability to work effectively in a group.

    Below are some conditions that fall in the category of Neuro-Divergence

    • ADHD: Individuals may have difficulties holding their attention and managing thoughts, behaviors, and emotions.
    • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): It includes a broad range of conditions that may include challenges with socializing and social skills, cause repetitive behaviors and trigger speech difficulties, which in some cases, may lead an individual to communicate only nonverbally.
    • Dyslexia: This can include guesses at words, mirror writing, letter reversals, ignores punctuations while reading, missing to give adequate space between words, as well as confusion with letters or misunderstanding of word organization or pronunciation, and trouble following directions.
    • Dyscalculia A misunderstanding of math concepts, such as confusion when reading numbers and symbols, an inability to consistently remember numbers, math facts, rules and procedures, or trouble with mental figuring.
    • Dysgraphia. A learning disability that involves writing, such as unusual pencil grip and body position, illegible handwriting, and an aversion to writing or drawing.

    Neuro-divergent children often think, and process information differently compared to their neuro-typical peers. This can manifest in many ways, such as having heightened sensory sensitivities, difficulties with social interactions, or exceptional skills in specific areas. It is crucial to recognize that neuro-divergence is not a flaw or deficit; it is simply a different way of experiencing the world.

    The Importance of Support

    While celebrating neurodiversity is essential, it is equally important to provide the necessary support and resources to neuro-divergent children. This includes creating inclusive educational environments, offering specialized therapies and interventions, and promoting awareness and acceptance in society. By doing so, we can ensure that every child, regardless of their neurology, has equal opportunities to succeed and lead fulfilling lives.

    Society often holds misconceptions and stereotypes about neuro-divergent individuals. It is our responsibility to challenge and break these stereotypes. By sharing personal anecdotes and stories of neuro-divergent children and their achievements, we can help shift the narrative and promote a more accurate and positive understanding of neurodiversity.

    "Celebrating children with neuro-divergence is not just about acknowledging their challenges; it is about recognizing and celebrating their unique strengths, talents, and perspectives."

    By embracing neurodiversity, we create a more inclusive and compassionate society that values every individual for who they are. Let us celebrate the wonderful diversity that exists among children and support them in their journey of growth and self-discovery.

    Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot produce enough insulin to control glucose levels. There are two kinds of diabetes, type 1 diabetes is a genetic disorder that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is largely diet-related and develops over time. If you have type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas, medication can be required.

    Who should undergo diabetes testing?

    In its early stages, diabetes may or may not cause many symptoms. You should get tested if you experience any of the early symptoms that do sometimes occur, including:

    • being extremely thirsty
    • feel tired all the time
    • feel very hungry, even after eating
    • having blurred vision
    • urinating more often than usual
    • having wounds or cuts that won't heal

    Some people should be tested for diabetes even if they aren't experiencing symptoms. It is recommended that you undergo diabetes testing if you're overweight (body mass index greater than 25) and fall into any of the following categories:

    • You have high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, or heart disease.
    • You have a family history of diabetes.
    • You have a personal history of abnormal blood sugar levels or signs of insulin resistance.
    • You don't engage in regular physical activity.
    • You're a woman with a history of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or gestational diabetes.

    At Dr.Kamakshi Memorial Hospital, we offer something which is unmatched at any clinic around this geography. Under one roof, we provide a team of leading and very experienced consultant diabetologists enabled with all the advanced facilities and infrastructure to deliver and manage any type of diabetes patients.

    Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, and today the number of lives lost due to Breast Cancer has decreased thanks to early detection via specialized screening methods. Breast Cancer is age-related cancer and occurs mostly in women above the age of 45. Only 5% of all Breast Cancer cases are detected in women younger than 40. However, depending on how high your risk for the condition is, your doctor will advise you on whether you need to be screened and when.

    Screening is a series of tests conducted on a person to detect a disease even before it shows visible symptoms. This is done to identify the disease in its very initial stages when it can be treated most effectively. The kind of screening test depends on cancer that the person is at risk for. In the case of Breast Cancer, there are a set of screening tests that can be done. However, it is up to your doctor to decide which is best suited for the patient taking into consideration the following factors:

    • Age of the patient
    • Whether the patient is at high risk for breast cancer
    • Overall health of the patient

    BREAST CANCER SCREENING TESTS

    • Ultrasound Breasts and Mammography

    This is the most common screening test for Breast Cancer. It is a low-dose x-ray of the breast and can show changes in the breast that could develop into cancer long before physical symptoms occur. A mammogram can be an x-ray of the breast, a digital picture of the breast, or a series of digital images of the breast taken from different angles to get a better view of the internal structures. This is called Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and it provides a detailed visual. Studies show that advances in DBT have reduced the chances of a False-Positive result, therefore improving accuracy in Breast Cancer Diagnosis, and also increasing the survival rate. Mammograms may not be able to detect cancer in women with dense breasts, which is the case in younger women. Women less than 40 years are screened with ultrasound or MRI in high-risk patients.

    • Physical Exam

    If a lump or any tissue irregularity is noticed in any of the screening tests, the doctor will prescribe a biopsy in which some tissue is taken and sent to the lab for testing. This will confirm whether the lump is cancerous or benign.

    BENEFITS OF BREAST CANCER SCREENING

    The scope for cancer cure is high when it is detected in its initial stages. Once the tumor grows and begins to spread beyond the primary site, more therapies must be combined. Breast Cancer is one of the few cancers that can be detected long before physical signs occur, and this improves the chances for a cure. Hence it is important for women to talk to their doctor and find out if they are at high risk and if they require a screening test. It is advisable for women above the age of 50 to get a mammogram done every year or as their doctor deems necessary. Women, less than 40 years need to have mammogram once in 2 years and an ultrasound annually.

    Dr.Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals is renowned for its extremely high standards in all aspects of healthcare. You can be assured that you are being treated in one of the best hospitals in the world with state-of-the-art facilities, skilled experts and dedicated staff.

    Do you know, our heart beats about 2.5 billion times over an average lifetime?

    Do we realize, it pushes millions of gallons of blood to every part of our body?

    Heart pumps blood supplying oxygen, fuel, hormones, multiple compounds and a host of essential cells to all parts of our body. It also whisks away the waste products of metabolism. When the heart stops, essential functions fail and some almost instantly.

    Given the heart's never-ending workload, it's a wonder it performs so well, for so long, for so many people. But it can also fail, brought down by a poor diet and lack of exercise, smoking, infection, unlucky genes and more. A key problem is atherosclerosis. This is the accumulation of pockets of cholesterol- rich gunk inside the arteries. These pockets, called plaque, can limit blood flow through arteries that nourish the heart the coronary arteries and other arteries throughout the body. When a plaque breaks apart, it can cause a heart attack or stroke. A healthy lifestyle, especially when started at a young age, goes a long way to preventing cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle changes and medications can nip heart-harming trends, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, in the bud before they cause damage.

    There are multiple ways by which we can diagnose the condition of our heart, identify potential problems and proactively manage its health. A variety of medications, operations and devices can help support the heart, if damage occurs.

    We offer expert cardiac care providing round the clock cardiologist availability and access to inhouse catheterization laboratory, all the time. Our Consultants are highly experienced in performing variety and thousands of cardiac interventional procedures and surgeries, advise you of the most appropriate treatment option to achieve the best possible outcome.

    In commemoration of world heart day, we are conducting a healthy heart camp inside premises, for all age groups, offering a wonderful opportunity to evaluate the condition of your heart at a very affordable price.

    SYMPTOMS - TO VISIT A CARDIOLOGIST

    Heart problems mostly doesn't present with clear warning signs. At least never as in cinemas like an alarming clutch in chest followed by a fall to floor. Some of these conditions are silent-you wouldn't know you have a problem unless you are tested. But there are symptoms you should never ignore that could indicate a cardiac problem. Such as,

    • Chest discomfort
    • Chest Pain that spreads to the arm
    • Breathlessness
    • Sweating
    • Dizzy feeling (or) Being Light Headed
    • Heartburn, Nausea, Indigestion
    • Legs, Feet, Ankles are swollen
    • Irregular Heart Beat

    With the rise of digital devices and increased screen time, it's more important than ever to take care of our vision. As a result, we at Dr.KMH are campaigning for healthy eyesight and raising awareness about common eye problems.

    Our eyes are one of the most complex organs in our body. They help us see the world around us and are responsible for many of our daily activities. But just like any other part of our body, our eyes can face problems too. Some common eye problems include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, and presbyopia (age-related farsightedness). Regular eye checkups can help detect these problems early on, preventing further damage and maintaining healthy vision. Eye exams also check for other eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration, which can lead to blindness if left untreated.

    During the eye check-up camp, we perform a variety of tests to assess the health of your eyes.

    • Vision Assessment
    • Power Checkup
    • Cataract Screening
    • Eye Pressure Screening

    Eye check-ups can help ensure that your eyes are healthy overall. Our ophthalmologist will check for any signs of infection, inflammation, or other issues that may be affecting your eyes. Do not neglect your eye health - make sure to schedule your date with our ophthalmologist.

    Having a child of their own is what most married couples dream of. However, today for various reasons conceiving a baby naturally has become difficult for many couples. There is hope yet. Fertility Investigation & Treatment can help couples conceive a child naturally or with the help of medical intervention and advanced Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART).

    When should you seek help for infertility?

    Women under the age of 35 who aren't pregnant after one year of trying should consult a fertility specialist. You should seek help sooner (after six months of trying) if you're older than 35 and as early as possible if you are around 40 years of age. A woman's chances of getting pregnant decrease with age. A 30-year-old woman is half as fertile as a 20-year-old woman.

    Regardless of gender, you should seek help early if you have a risk factor that affects fertility.

    Treatments for infertility include:

    Psychotherapy: Reduces mental trauma and anxiety associated with reproductive issues.

    Medications: Fertility drugs alter hormone levels to stimulate ovulation.

    Surgery: Surgery can open blocked fallopian tubes and remove uterine fibroids and polyps. Surgical treatment of endometriosis doubles a woman's chances of pregnancy.

    Multi-nutritional therapy for men and women.

    How can I prevent infertility?

    Men and women can take these phases to safeguard their fertility, specifically while seeking to conceive:

    • Eat a well-balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight.
    • Don't smoke, misuse drugs or drink excessively.
    • Get treated for STDs
    • Limit exposure to toxins.
    • Stay physically active, but don't exaggerate workouts.

    Advancement in medicine has made it possible to give hope even to infertile couples. It is best to identify symptoms at the earliest and begin treatment right away to increase your chances of having a baby. Prana fertility clinics offer these treatments, so be sure to choose wisely.

    Constipation can be an unpleasant and uncomfortable experience. It affects millions of people worldwide and can be caused by many factors, including poor diet, lack of exercise, and certain medications. However, people do not seek help when constipated, either because they feel embarrassed or because they think it is a minor problem that will go away on its own.

    • Poor diet: A diet that is low in fiber and high in processed foods can contribute to constipation.
    • Lack of exercise: Physical activity helps to stimulate bowel movements. A deskbound lifestyle can lead to constipation.
    • Certain medications: Some medications, such as painkillers, antidepressants, and iron supplements, can cause constipation.

    Symptoms of Constipation

    • Difficulty passing stools.
    • Infrequent bowel movements.
    • Abdominal pain and discomfort.
    • Bloating and gas.
    • Straining during bowel movements.
    • Feeling like you have not fully emptied your bowels.

    The Importance of Seeking Help for Constipation

    Many people do not seek help for their constipation, either because they feel embarrassed or because they believe it is a minor issue that will be resolved on its own. However, untreated constipation can lead to more serious health problems, such as hemorrhoids, fecal impaction, and rectal prolapse.

    There are several benefits to seek help for constipation, including:

    • Improved quality of life: Treating constipation can improve overall health and well-being.
    • Prevention of complications: Treating constipation can prevent more serious health problems from developing.

    As soon as you start thinking about starting a family, you may begin to worry about your fertility. If you're not sure whether you're fertile or not, there are some things you can do to find out. A fertility camp is one option.

    When it comes to fertility treatment, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The best way to find out what fertility treatment is right for you is to consult with a fertility specialist.

    During your consultation, our fertility specialist will ask about your medical history and perform a physical examination. They may also order some tests, such as blood investigations or an ultrasound. Based on all this information, they will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs.

    Fertility treatments can be broadly divided into two categories: medical treatments and assisted reproductive technologies (ART).

    Medical treatments for fertility include medications that stimulate ovulation or help the uterus prepare for implantation. These medications are often taken in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (IUI), which is a procedure in which sperm is directly injected into the uterus.

    ART involves more complex procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF is a process in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred back into the uterus.

    No matter what fertility treatment you ultimately decide on, know that you are not alone on this journey. There are many resources available to help you through every step of the way.

    Urology also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary tract system and the male reproductive organs. Glucose control, heart-healthy habits and medications are the keys for good kidney health. Your risk of kidney disease is higher with diabetes.

    Possible ways to reduce your risk:

    If you have diabetes for 10 years or more, you are at most risk for kidney damage. Your greatest opportunity to avoid or slow damage is to safeguard your kidneys now. Your risk is highest when blood sugar control is poor. Keeping blood sugar levels in your target range is the key. This can lower your risk by 50 percent or more.

    What you eat and drink can help slow down kidney disease. Some foods are better for your kidneys than others. Cooking and preparing your food from scratch can help you eat healthier. Healthy kidneys normally regulate the level of substances and water in the body, which come from what we eat and drink. If your kidneys are not working as well as they should, you may not be able to control this balance. You may therefore need to change what you eat and drink to help with this.

    Be kind to your kidneys:

    • Get tested every year.
    • Control your blood sugar levels
    • Monitor your blood pressure.
    • Control your cholesterol levels.
    • Ask your doctor if preventive meds are right for you.

    Dr.Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals is renowned for its extremely high standards in all aspects of healthcare. You can be assured that you are being treated in one of the best hospitals in the world with state-of-the-art facilities, skilled experts, and dedicated staff.

    Medical treatments for fertility include medications that stimulate ovulation or help the uterus prepare for implantation. These medications are often taken in conjunction with intrauterine insemination (IUI), which is a procedure in which sperm is directly injected into the uterus.

    ART involves more complex procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF is a process in which eggs are retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with sperm in a laboratory dish. The resulting embryos are then transferred back into the uterus.

    No matter what fertility treatment you ultimately decide on, know that you are not alone on this journey. There are many resources available to help you through every step of the way.

    Prostate cancer develops when abnormal cells in the prostate gland multiply and form a malignant tumor. These abnormal cells can multiply indefinitely and spread outside the prostate gland to other parts of the body. "One in every nine men" would be diagnosed with prostate cancer over their lifetime. Sadly, it is one of the least supported and neglected tumors.

    In the early stage of prostate cancer, there are usually no symptoms. Later stage prostate cancer can cause symptoms that include,

    • feeling the frequent or sudden need to urinate
    • finding it difficult to urinate (for example, trouble starting, not being able to urinate when the feeling is there, poor urine flow)
    • discomfort when urinating
    • finding blood in urine
    • pain in various bones if the cancer cells have spread to them.

    These symptoms are not always caused by prostate cancer. They can be caused by other prostate-related diseases that are not cancerous, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (benign enlargement of the prostate gland) or prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate gland). It is important that you speak with your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.

    The best way to prevent prostate cancer is to get regular screenings.

    There are several ways to diagnose prostate cancer, but the most common is an Ultrasound KUB and PSA. A USG alone cannot determine prostate cancer, but it can help determine whether further tests are required.

    Another common method of diagnosis is a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. PSA is a protein produced by the prostate gland, and levels of PSA in the blood can be elevated in men with prostate cancer. However, PSA levels can also be elevated in men with benign conditions of the prostate, such as an infection or enlargement. If both USG and PSA test suggests the presence of prostate cancer, additional testing will be necessary to confirm the diagnosis. The most common method of confirmatory testing is a biopsy, during which small samples of tissue are taken from the prostate and examined under a microscope for evidence of cancer cells.

    Participate in Dr.KAMAKSHI MEMORIAL HOSPITALS - PROSTATE SCREENING CAMP and get yourself evaluated for USG KUB, PSA, UROFLOW study along with consultation from our Best Senior Urologist in Chennai. The prostate cancer campaign was developed to educate men about this disease and the importance of early detection. Ultimately, the goal of the prostate cancer campaign is to save lives by providing men with the information they need to make informed health decisions.

    Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot produce enough insulin to control glucose levels. There are two kinds of diabetes, type 1 diabetes is a genetic disorder that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is largely diet-related and develops over time. If you have type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas, medication can be required.

    Who should undergo diabetes testing?

    In its early stages, diabetes may or may not cause many symptoms. You should get tested if you experience any of the early symptoms that do sometimes occur, including:

    • being extremely thirsty
    • feel tired all the time
    • feel very hungry, even after eating
    • having blurred vision
    • urinating more often than usual
    • having wounds or cuts that won't heal

    Some people should be tested for diabetes even if they aren't experiencing symptoms. It is recommended that you undergo diabetes testing if you're overweight (body mass index greater than 25) and fall into any of the following categories:

    • You have high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL cholesterol, or heart disease.
    • You have a family history of diabetes.
    • You have a personal history of abnormal blood sugar levels or signs of insulin resistance.
    • You don't engage in regular physical activity.

    Every year on October 29, World Stroke Day serves as a platform to increase awareness of the condition and the enormous burden it takes on the millions of individuals who are both directly and indirectly affected by it globally.

    What causes a stroke?

    Strokes can be caused by several factors and conditions, including:

    • High blood pressure. This is one of the leading causes of stroke.
    • .Diabetes, cholesterol, smoking. Stroke is more common in people who have diabetes, who have uncontrolled high cholesterol, and who smoke.
    • Infections, conditions, and injuries. People with TB, meningitis, HIV, and people who have sustained head injuries also have a higher risk of stroke.

    Sudden weakness, loss of speech, disorientation, vision loss, headaches, and dizziness are symptoms of a stroke. FAST is a shorthand used by the Heart and Stroke Foundation to remind people of the symptoms of a stroke.

    • Face drooping - Ask them to smile, then observe to decide whether one side of their face droops or moves less easily than the other. .
    • Arm weakness - Ask the person to lift both arms and see if they can hold them both up. .
    • Speech difficulty - Ask them to repeat a short phrase and see if they can repeat it without slurring. .
    • Time to call emergency medical services - Record the time the symptoms first appeared and make sure to contact emergency services right away. .

    Commemorating World Stroke Day, Dr.Kamakshi Memorial Hospital is conducting a Stroke Day awareness camp at a minimal cost of INR 599/-. Camp runs until Oct 31st 9AM - 1PM.

    Our team of best neuro-specialists in Chennai will discuss stroke awareness, symptoms, kinds, and warning signals, as well as what to do in an emergency.

    Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, and today the number of lives lost due to Breast Cancer has decreased thanks to early detection via specialized screening methods. Breast Cancer is age-related cancer and occurs mostly in women above the age of 45. Only 5% of all Breast Cancer cases are detected in women younger than 40. However, depending on how high your risk for the condition is, your doctor will advise you on whether you need to be screened and when.

    Screening is a series of tests conducted on a person to detect a disease even before it shows visible symptoms. This is done to identify the disease in its very initial stages when it can be treated most effectively. The kind of screening test depends on cancer that the person is at risk for. In the case of Breast Cancer, there are a set of screening tests that can be done. However, it is up to your doctor to decide which is best suited for the patient taking into consideration the following factors:

    • Age of the patient
    • Whether the patient is at high risk for breast cancer
    • Overall health of the patient

    BREAST CANCER SCREENING TESTS

    • Ultrasound Breasts and Mammography

    This is the most common screening test for Breast Cancer. It is a low-dose x-ray of the breast and can show changes in the breast that could develop into cancer long before physical symptoms occur. A mammogram can be an x-ray of the breast, a digital picture of the breast, or a series of digital images of the breast taken from different angles to get a better view of the internal structures. This is called Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and it provides a detailed visual. Studies show that advances in DBT have reduced the chances of a False-Positive result, therefore improving accuracy in Breast Cancer Diagnosis, and also increasing the survival rate. Mammograms may not be able to detect cancer in women with dense breasts, which is the case in younger women. Women less than 40 years are screened with ultrasound or MRI in high-risk patients.

    • Physical Exam

    If a lump or any tissue irregularity is noticed in any of the screening tests, the doctor will prescribe a biopsy in which some tissue is taken and sent to the lab for testing. This will confirm whether the lump is cancerous or benign.

    BENEFITS OF BREAST CANCER SCREENING

    The scope for cancer cure is high when it is detected in its initial stages. Once the tumor grows and begins to spread beyond the primary site, more therapies must be combined. Breast Cancer is one of the few cancers that can be detected long before physical signs occur, and this improves the chances for a cure. Hence it is important for women to talk to their doctor and find out if they are at high risk and if they require a screening test. It is advisable for women above the age of 50 to get a mammogram done every year or as their doctor deems necessary. Women, less than 40 years need to have mammogram once in 2 years and an ultrasound annually.

    Dr.Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals is renowned for its extremely high standards in all aspects of healthcare. You can be assured that you are being treated in one of the best hospitals in the world with state-of-the-art facilities, skilled experts and dedicated staff.

    Aging is an ongoing process that is divided into two categories: normal aging and usual aging. Normal aging involves inevitable differences that occur due to physical changes in the body. Usual aging refers to typical age-related diseases that occur in older adults, such as high blood pressure and heart disease.

    AGING ELEGANT

    Since the normal aging process cannot be controlled, it is the usual aging process that must be prevented. One may stay active well into their seventh decade and beyond with a balanced lifestyle that combines nutrition, exercise, and sleep.

    Do you know, our heart beats about 2.5 billion times over an average lifetime?

    Do we realize, it pushes millions of gallons of blood to every part of our body?

    Heart pumps blood supplying oxygen, fuel, hormones, multiple compounds and a host of essential cells to all parts of our body. It also whisks away the waste products of metabolism. When the heart stops, essential functions fail and some almost instantly.

    Given the heart's never-ending workload, it's a wonder it performs so well, for so long, for so many people. But it can also fail, brought down by a poor diet and lack of exercise, smoking, infection, unlucky genes and more. A key problem is atherosclerosis. This is the accumulation of pockets of cholesterol- rich gunk inside the arteries. These pockets, called plaque, can limit blood flow through arteries that nourish the heart the coronary arteries and other arteries throughout the body. When a plaque breaks apart, it can cause a heart attack or stroke. A healthy lifestyle, especially when started at a young age, goes a long way to preventing cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle changes and medications can nip heart-harming trends, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, in the bud before they cause damage.

    There are multiple ways by which we can diagnose the condition of our heart, identify potential problems and proactively manage its health. A variety of medications, operations and devices can help support the heart, if damage occurs.

    We offer expert cardiac care providing round the clock cardiologist availability and access to inhouse catheterization laboratory, all the time. Our Consultants are highly experienced in performing variety and thousands of cardiac interventional procedures and surgeries, advise you of the most appropriate treatment option to achieve the best possible outcome.

    SYMPTOMS - TO VISIT A CARDIOLOGIST

    Heart problems mostly doesn't present with clear warning signs. At least never as in cinemas like an alarming clutch in chest followed by a fall to floor. Some of these conditions are silent-you wouldn't know you have a problem unless you are tested. But there are symptoms you should never ignore that could indicate a cardiac problem. Such as,

    • Chest discomfort
    • Chest Pain that spreads to the arm
    • Breathlessness
    • Sweating
    • Dizzy feeling (or) Being Light Headed
    • Heartburn, Nausea, Indigestion
    • Legs, Feet, Ankles are swollen
    • Irregular Heart Beat

    Cosmetic surgery is where a person chooses to have an operation, or invasive medical procedure, to change their physical appearance for cosmetic rather than medical reasons. Non-surgical cosmetic procedures, such as Botox and dermal fillers - typically used to relax or fill crease lines - do not involve surgery.

    BREAST RESHAPING

    Although breast development begins around puberty, women experience a lot of changes in the bust area during pregnancy and after childbirth. The original shape, size and volume of the breasts may change after each pregnancy and also when women reach menopause. Often, the only way to restore shape, symmetry and volume to the breasts meaningfully is by undergoing plastic surgeries like breast reshaping and mastopexy.

    Breast Augmentation - also known as augmentation mammoplasty - is surgery to increase breast size. It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest muscles.

    For some women, breast augmentation is a way to feel more confident. For others, it's part of rebuilding the breast for various conditions.

    Breast reduction - surgery is an operation to remove extra fat, tissue, and skin from your breasts. If you have large breasts that are out of proportion to the rest of your body and causing neck pain, back pain, or other symptoms, you may be considering breast reduction surgery.

    Most women who get breast reduction are very satisfied with the results. Men with conditions such as gynecomastia (in which male breasts are abnormally enlarged) may also have it.

    A Breast lift - It also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.

    New statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show breast lifts have grown 70% since 2000, outpacing breast implants 2-to-1.

    BODY LIFT

    A body lift improves the shape and tone of the underlying tissue that supports skin and fat. Excess sagging skin and fat are removed and the procedure(s) can improve a dimpled, irregular skin surface.

    An Arm Lift is a surgery to remove loose skin and excess fat deposits in the upper arm area. An arm lift, also known as Brachioplasty, reduces excess skin and fat between the underarm and the elbow to reshapes the upper arm resulting in smoother contours and a more toned and proportionate appearance.

    Are sit-ups not giving you the taut tummy you want? If you've got too much flab or excess skin in your abdomen that doesn't respond to diet or exercise, you may be considering a "tummy tuck," which doctors call "abdominoplasty."

    A Thigh Fift (thighplasty) is an invasive cosmetic surgery that removes excess skin and fat from the thigh area.

    Perhaps the most common reason for a thigh lift is to help reshape and smooth the thigh area after losing weight. Some people also opt for the procedure to gain more shapeliness and to feel more comfortable wearing swimsuits, shorts, and jeans.

    LIPOSUCTION

    Liposuction is a surgical procedure that uses a suction technique to remove fat from specific areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, thighs, buttocks, arms or neck. Liposuction also shapes (contours) these areas. Other names for liposuction include lipoplasty and body contouring.

    Liposuction isn't typically considered an overall weight-loss method or a weight-loss alternative. If you're overweight, you're likely to lose more weight through diet and exercise or through bariatric procedures - such as gastric bypass surgery - than you would with liposuction.

    You may be a candidate for liposuction if you have too much body fat in specific spots but otherwise have a stable body weight.

    Having a child of their own is what most married couples dream of. However, today for various reasons conceiving a baby naturally has become difficult for many couples. There is hope yet. Fertility Investigation & Treatment can help couples conceive a child naturally or with the help of medical intervention and advanced Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART).

    When should you seek help for infertility?

    Women under the age of 35 who aren't pregnant after one year of trying should consult a fertility specialist. You should seek help sooner (after six months of trying) if you're older than 35 and as early as possible if you are around 40 years of age. A woman's chances of getting pregnant decrease with age. A 30-year-old woman is half as fertile as a 20-year-old woman.

    Regardless of gender, you should seek help early if you have a risk factor that affects fertility.

    Treatments for infertility include:

    Psychotherapy: Reduces mental trauma and anxiety associated with reproductive issues.

    Medications: Fertility drugs alter hormone levels to stimulate ovulation.

    Surgery: Surgery can open blocked fallopian tubes and remove uterine fibroids and polyps. Surgical treatment of endometriosis doubles a woman's chances of pregnancy.

    Multi-nutritional therapy for men and women.

    How can I prevent infertility?

    Men and women can take these phases to safeguard their fertility, specifically while seeking to conceive:

    • Eat a well-balanced diet and maintain a healthy weight.
    • Don't smoke, misuse drugs or drink excessively.
    • Get treated for STDs
    • Limit exposure to toxins.
    • Stay physically active, but don't exaggerate workouts.

    Advancement in medicine has made it possible to give hope even to infertile couples. It is best to identify symptoms at the earliest and begin treatment right away to increase your chances of having a baby. Prana fertility clinics offer these treatments, so be sure to choose wisely.

    A Day for the universal community to come together and raise awareness about asthma. Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the airways in the lungs, causing recurring periods of wheezing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, and coughing. During an asthma attack, the airways become smaller and fill with mucus, making it difficult to breathe. While there is no cure for asthma, it can be controlled.

    This year's World Asthma Day theme is "CLOSING GAPS IN ASTHMA CARE". It's always the right time to address airways disease. The theme provides a call to action for both patients and healthcare providers worldwide to assess indications irrespective of the time point in one's life they may occur and take actions to make sure that the asthma is controlled

    Although anyone can get asthma at any age, studies have shown the following trends:

    • Asthma often starts in childhood and is more common in children than in adults. Still, asthma affects people of all ages, and studies show an increasing number of asthma cases in older people.
    • More boys than girls have asthma. But in adulthood, more women than men have asthma.
    • People who have allergies or whose family members have allergies are more likely than other people to have asthma.
    • Asthma tends to run in families. If your mother, father, or siblings have asthma, you're at an increased risk for the disease
    • People who smoke or who are around a lot of second-hand smoke are also more likely to get asthma.

    Work with your asthma care team to:

    • Know your symptoms
    • Avoid your triggers.
    • Take your medicine correctly
    • Follow your Asthma Action Plan every day
    • Check your asthma control regularly

    Snoring is the sound made by vibrations of the soft tissue of the airway (mouth, nose and throat). It is caused by turbulent airflow that occurs during inspiration when there is a partial obstruction or narrowing anywhere from the tip of the nose to the voice box. When an individual is awake, there is muscular tone holding the airway open. This reduces during sleep and explains why snoring is not present when an individual is awake

    Should I Worry if I Snore?

    Are you finding it harder to stay awake during the daytime? Getting what you thought was a full night's sleep but waking feeling as if you haven't been refreshed at all? Does your partner complain about your snoring? If so, and you are additionally experiencing some other symptoms, you may well have a disorder that is increasingly common and potentially quite serious - Sleep apnea. Put simply, this means that your breathing will be interrupted multiple times a night, disturbing your sleep with micro-interruptions that you may not even recall in the morning. This condition is treatable with advice from an ear, nose and throat doctor but does require careful management in order not to impact your health.

    Urology also known as genitourinary surgery, is the branch of medicine that focuses on surgical and medical diseases of the male and female urinary tract system and the male reproductive organs. Glucose control, heart-healthy habits and medications are the keys for good kidney health. Your risk of kidney disease is higher with diabetes.

    Possible ways to reduce your risk:

    If you have diabetes for 10 years or more, you are at most risk for kidney damage. Your greatest opportunity to avoid or slow damage is to safeguard your kidneys now. Your risk is highest when blood sugar control is poor. Keeping blood sugar levels in your target range is the key. This can lower your risk by 50 percent or more.

    What you eat and drink can help slow down kidney disease. Some foods are better for your kidneys than others. Cooking and preparing your food from scratch can help you eat healthier. Healthy kidneys normally regulate the level of substances and water in the body, which come from what we eat and drink. If your kidneys are not working as well as they should, you may not be able to control this balance. You may therefore need to change what you eat and drink to help with this.

    Be kind to your kidneys:

    • Get tested every year.
    • Control your blood sugar levels
    • Monitor your blood pressure.
    • Control your cholesterol levels.
    • Ask your doctor if preventive meds are right for you.

    Across the world, HPV vaccination is recommended at ages 11 or 12, even though it can be started at the relatively young age of 9. The vaccination is highly recommended for all women till age 26, especially if they are not properly vaccinated against HPV earlier. Experts feel that It is extremely effective when administered before the first sexual intercourse.

    Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot produce enough insulin to control glucose levels. There are two kinds of diabetes, type 1 diabetes is a genetic disorder that often shows up early in life, and type 2 is largely diet-related and develops over time. If you have type 1 diabetes, your immune system is attacking and destroying the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas, medication can be required.

    • being extremely thirsty
    • feel tired all the time
    • feel very hungry, even after eating
    • having blurred vision
    • urinating more often than usual
    • having wounds or cuts that won't heal

    Breast Cancer is one of the most common cancers among women, and today the number of lives lost due to Breast Cancer has decreased thanks to early detection via specialized screening methods. Breast Cancer is age-related cancer and occurs mostly in women above the age of 45. Only 5% of all Breast Cancer cases are detected in women younger than 40. However, depending on how high your risk for the condition is, your doctor will advise you on whether you need to be screened and when.

    Screening is a series of tests conducted on a person to detect a disease even before it shows visible symptoms. This is done to identify the disease in its very initial stages when it can be treated most effectively. The kind of screening test depends on cancer that the person is at risk for. In the case of Breast Cancer, there are a set of screening tests that can be done. However, it is up to your doctor to decide which is best suited for the patient taking into consideration the following factors:

    • Age of the patient
    • Whether the patient is at high risk for breast cancer
    • Overall health of the patient

    BREAST CANCER SCREENING TESTS

    • Ultrasound Breasts and Mammography

    This is the most common screening test for Breast Cancer. It is a low-dose x-ray of the breast and can show changes in the breast that could develop into cancer long before physical symptoms occur. A mammogram can be an x-ray of the breast, a digital picture of the breast, or a series of digital images of the breast taken from different angles to get a better view of the internal structures. This is called Digital Breast Tomosynthesis and it provides a detailed visual. Studies show that advances in DBT have reduced the chances of a False-Positive result, therefore improving accuracy in Breast Cancer Diagnosis, and also increasing the survival rate. Mammograms may not be able to detect cancer in women with dense breasts, which is the case in younger women. Women less than 40 years are screened with ultrasound or MRI in high-risk patients.

    • Physical Exam

    If a lump or any tissue irregularity is noticed in any of the screening tests, the doctor will prescribe a biopsy in which some tissue is taken and sent to the lab for testing. This will confirm whether the lump is cancerous or benign.

    BENEFITS OF BREAST CANCER SCREENING

    The scope for cancer cure is high when it is detected in its initial stages. Once the tumor grows and begins to spread beyond the primary site, more therapies must be combined. Breast Cancer is one of the few cancers that can be detected long before physical signs occur, and this improves the chances for a cure. Hence it is important for women to talk to their doctor and find out if they are at high risk and if they require a screening test. It is advisable for women above the age of 50 to get a mammogram done every year or as their doctor deems necessary. Women, less than 40 years need to have mammogram once in 2 years and an ultrasound annually.

    Do you know, our heart beats about 2.5 billion times over an average lifetime?

    Do we realize, it pushes millions of gallons of blood to every part of our body?

    Heart pumps blood supplying oxygen, fuel, hormones, multiple compounds and a host of essential cells to all parts of our body. It also whisks away the waste products of metabolism. When the heart stops, essential functions fail and some almost instantly.

    Given the heart's never-ending workload, it's a wonder it performs so well, for so long, for so many people. But it can also fail, brought down by a poor diet and lack of exercise, smoking, infection, unlucky genes and more. A key problem is atherosclerosis. This is the accumulation of pockets of cholesterol- rich gunk inside the arteries. These pockets, called plaque, can limit blood flow through arteries that nourish the heart the coronary arteries and other arteries throughout the body. When a plaque breaks apart, it can cause a heart attack or stroke. A healthy lifestyle, especially when started at a young age, goes a long way to preventing cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle changes and medications can nip heart-harming trends, like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, in the bud before they cause damage.

    There are multiple ways by which we can diagnose the condition of our heart, identify potential problems and proactively manage its health. A variety of medications, operations and devices can help support the heart, if damage occurs.

    We offer expert cardiac care providing round the clock cardiologist availability and access to inhouse catheterization laboratory, all the time.

This endeavour has aligned with the hospital's celebration of World Heart Day on September 29th, 2021 wherein the children who have been earlier treated free at Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals were provided free screening. The event was held at Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals Auditorium at Pallikaranai in the august presence of Chief Guest Honourable Member of Legislative Assembly, Sholinganallur Thiru. Aravind Ramesh and District Governor Rtn. J Sridhar.

    Dr. Prem Sekar R, Consultant Paediatric Cardiology spoke on this occasion about Paediatric Cardiac care, "Birth defects of the heart is the most common amongst the congenital defects and contributes significantly to infant mortality rate. With 28 million live births annually in India, an estimated 180,000 babies are born with congenital heart disease every year. Early identification and diagnosis enable appropriate treatment and allows these children to lead a normal and healthy childhood. Majority of these defects are simple holes in the heart (ASD, VSD, PDA) and are now closed using special devices through the vascular route thus avoiding the need for open-heart surgery, general anaesthesia, or blood transfusions. As these procedures minimise hospitalisation, the total cost is reduced to one third of an open-heart surgery while offering a total and scar free cure.

    Most of these children come from economically poor backgrounds, making it harder for them to access quality treatment. Dr. Kamakshi Memorial Hospitals believes in providing medical care to everyone irrespective of their financial background. With the support of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister's Health Scheme, quality treatment is provided absolutely at free of cost. In the last three years numerous children have benefitted from catheter-based, non-surgical cure for their heart ailments through this programme. We hope many more children will similarly get benefitted through "Healing Little Hearts" project with the valuable support extended by Rotary Club of Madras Temple City.

    Dr. Prem Sekar R, MBBS, MRCPI, FRCP (Glasg) an expert in Paediatric Cardiology with over 34 years of experience will spearhead the Project, "Healing Little Hearts" this year. World Heart Day is observed on 29th September each year to spread awareness on heart diseases and the need to make healthy lifestyle choices.
