Friday the 15th

Despite the title of this post, no I'm not trying to make a kind of scary Friday the 13th (15th) thing. More... I have a huge life event coming up and the anxiety is getting to me.

It's a natural anxiety. When someone goes through something huge, they react in various ways. For a wedding, for example, it's a tremendous step. If they're 100% certain in that step, it's full of joy and perhap anxiety something will go wrong with the ceremony as opposed to anxiety about the person they're marrying. Moving across country can be anxiety inducing, despite the excitement and prospect of something new experiences.

Then there's surgery. Even the most minor of surgeries can be anxiety inducing because of what could go wrong. When I had a deviated septum fixed, the doctor actually outlined how it was a basic, minor surgery with potential for a lot of bad happening. So, you know, yay?

Now I have a new, terrifying surgery coming up. It's a necessary surgery, one that I had been forced to reschedule due to getting infected with influenza A just mere days prior. I was so sick that I was down and out of work for six weeks. It affected my voice (I still hear it time to time), my breathing, and I still wonder about the lingering symptoms I have. (Hard to tell if it's allergies or lingering influenza, honestly. But all tests say I'm fine, so...)

This surgery had been a long time coming. My doctor and I had been observing the symptoms, the cause of said symptoms, and it was only late last year that I decided it was time. The minor means of dealing with the issue weren't possible because the issue was too large--and those minor means were 1) extremely painful and 2) doesn't stop the issues from coming back.

I'm being very vague. So I'll say it outright now. What's the issue I'm referring to? Fibroids. Uterine fibroids, to be precise.

I had the issue start well over five years ago. Little minor symptoms that kept happening... and then kept staying. To the point where I gave up and tracked down my ob gyn because my mother had those symptoms that led to cervical cancer and I was not going to leave my young son alone to face his abusive father on his own.

Turned out, it wasn't cervical cancer. Or even uterine cancer. (Thank gods.) No... it was a fibroid. A growing fibroid, actually. Already by the time it was detected, a myomectomy was impossible. That'd work for small fibroids, and mine was already beyond the acceptable size. An ablation wasn't possible either, as the fibroid meant spots would be missed and the symptoms would continue.

My ob gyn had to refer me to a different ob gyn for a very simple, frustrating reason: it was a Catholic hospital and any treatment that'd work to stop the issues of the fibroid was against their policies.

Fortunately I found a great ob gyn and she agreed with my other ob gyn. We inserted a Mirena IUD to handle the biggest symptom--ongoing bleeding--and decided to monitor every six months. Every six months, it showed signs of growing. And growing.

Then it... stopped. So we decided that as long as the IUD was stopping the bleeding and I was doing okay, we'd just do a wait and see.

Well... late last year, it was getting worse again. Other symptoms appeared, too TMI for comfort, but let's say the bathroom and I were becoming too well acquainted.

So a hysterectomy was scheduled. It was supposed to have been the first week of April and I got hit with influenza late March. We waited until I felt better and other life events got sorted. We thought I'd be okay.

I was wrong. So very wrong.

I called my ob gyn and said "We need it out. It's getting painful." The fibroid was creating problems that are affecting me body-wide. Minor from weird ass chin hairs that were growing thick and repeatedly, something I never had before. (The fibroid is disrupting hormones on a very wide scale, much like PCOS.) To intense discomfort in my lower abdomen.

What's interesting are the other irrational thoughts happening. It's a discussing having been held before by other women who have also undergone such similar procedures.

Am I any less a woman for losing the uterus? The answer, naturally, is NO. Even if I were to lose my breasts as well as my uterus, I'm still a woman. Because I say I'm a woman. I lose pieces of the body to maintain the whole.

My health will be so much better for the loss of the uterus, especially as the fibroid will be gone and things settle on multiple layers. Hormones will be back to normal (after some disruption). The pain and discomfort will be gone. I presume that weird chin hair that keeps coming back will finally surrender the ghost.

Even so, it's a major life step. A major surgery that, thankfully, has become more routine. We're planning on using the daVinci Surgical System and hope no issues will occur. It's actually outpatient now, which has me stunned.

My daughter and daughter-in-law will monitor me after the surgery. The next few weeks after, I'll have to be careful with even light objects--I won't be allowed to lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. (That's about 8 pounds, by the way.) That'll be frustrating for me, as I do a lot of heavy lifting on the regular.

But my health will be better. Eventually I'll heal. Eventually I'll celebrate no more purchases of hygiene products. I joked we'll have a "Yeet the Uterus" party, but we just might.

I'll never have to worry about unplanned pregnancies again, so that's something. Yes, even at my age, it can happen.

November the 15th is going to be a big day for me.

ESA and NASA satellites deliver first joint picture of Greenland Ice Sheet melting

Academics from Northumbria University are part of an international research team which has used data from satellites to track changes in the thickness of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Academics from Northumbria University are part of an international research team which has used data from satellites to track changes in the thickness of the Greenland Ice Sheet.

Global warming is causing the Ice Sheet to melt and flow more rapidly, raising sea levels and disturbing weather patterns across our planet.

Because of this, precise measurements of its changing shape are of critical importance for tracking and adapting to the effects of climate warming.

Scientists have now delivered the first measurements of Greenland Ice Sheet thickness change using CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 – the ESA and NASA ice satellite missions.

Both satellites carry altimeters as their primary sensor, but they make use of different technologies to collect their measurements.

CryoSat-2 carries a radar system to determine the Earth’s surface height, while ICESat-2 has a laser system for the same task.

Although radar signals can pass through clouds, they also penetrate into the ice sheet surface and have to be adjusted for this effect.

Laser signals, on the other hand, reflect from the actual surface, but they cannot operate when clouds are present.

The missions are therefore highly complementary, and combining their measurements has been a holy grail for polar science.

A new study from scientists at the UK Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling (CPOM), based at Northumbria University, and published in Geophysical Research Letters shows that CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 measurements of Greenland Ice Sheet elevation change agree to within 3%.

This confirms that the satellites can be combined to produce a more reliable estimate of ice loss than either could achieve alone. It also means that if one mission were to fail, the other could be relied upon to maintain our record of polar ice change.

Between 2010 and 2023, the Greenland Ice Sheet thinned by 1.2 metres on average. However, thinning across the ice sheet’s margin (the ablation zone) was over five times larger, amounting to 6.4 metres on average.

The most extreme thinning occurred at the ice sheets outlet glaciers, many of which are speeding up.

At Sermeq Kujalleq in west central Greenland (also known as Jakobshavn Isbræ), peak thinning was 67 metres, and at Zachariae Isstrøm in the northeast peak thinning was 75 metres.

Altogether, the ice sheet shrank by 2,347 cubic kilometres across the 13-year survey period – enough to fill Africa’s Lake Victoria.

The biggest changes occurred in 2012 and 2019 when summer temperatures were extremely hot and the ice sheet lost more than 400 cubic kilometres of its volume each year.

Greenland’s ice melting also affects global ocean circulation and disturbs weather patterns. These changes have far-reaching impacts on ecosystems and communities worldwide.

The availability of accurate, up-to-date data on ice sheet changes will be critical in helping us to prepare for and adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Lead author and CPOM researcher Nitin Ravinder said: “We are very excited to have discovered that CryoSat-2 and ICESat-2 are in such close agreement.

“Their complementary nature provides a strong motivation to combine the data sets to produce improved estimates of ice sheet volume and mass changes.

“As ice sheet mass loss is a key contributor to global sea level rise, this is incredibly useful for the scientific community and policymakers.”

The study made use of four years of measurements from both missions, including those collected during the Cryo2ice campaign, a pioneering ESA-NASA partnership initiated in 2020.

By adjusting CryoSat-2’s orbit to synchronise with ICESat-2, ESA enabled the near-simultaneous collection of radar and laser data over the same regions.

This alignment allows scientists to measure snow depth from space, offering unprecedented accuracy in tracking sea and land ice thickness.

Tommaso Parrinello, CryoSat Mission Manager at ESA, expressed optimism about the campaign’s impact:

“CryoSat has provided an invaluable platform for understanding our planet’s ice coverage over the past 14 years, but by aligning our data with ICESat-2, we’ve opened new avenues for precision and insight.

“This collaboration represents an exciting step forward, not just in terms of technology but in how we can better serve scientists and policymakers who rely on our data to understand and mitigate climate impacts.”

Thorsten Markus, project scientist for the ICESat-2 mission at NASA, said: “It is great to see that the data from ‘sister missions’ are providing a consistent picture of the changes going on in Greenland.

“Understanding the similarities and differences between radar and lidar ice sheet height measurements allows us to fully exploit the complementary nature of those satellite missions.

“Studies like this are critical to put a comprehensive time series of the ICESat, CryoSat-2, ICESat-2, and, in the future, CRISTAL missions together.”

ESA’s CryoSat-2 continues to be instrumental in our understanding of climate related changes in polar ice, working alongside NASA’s ICESat-2 to provide robust, accurate data on ice sheet changes.

Together, these missions represent a significant step forward in monitoring polar ice loss and preparing for its global consequences.

CPOM is a partnership of six universities and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), based at Northumbria University, primarily funded by the National Environment Research Council (NERC) to provide national capability in observation and modelling of the processes that occur in the Polar regions of the Earth.

CPOM uses satellite observations to monitor change in the Polar regions and numerical models to better predict how their ice and oceans might evolve in the future.

By providing long-term capabilities to the scientific community and leading international assessments, CPOM helps global policymakers plan for the effects of climate change and sea level rise.

Brain Tumor Therapy

If you have a brain tumor, your physician will collaborate with other physicians to devise an effective treatment plan. The treatment plan may involve surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and other procedures.

The sort of treatment you receive depends on the size, location, and grade of your tumor. It also takes your general health into account.

As a treatment for brain tumors, surgery is used to safely remove as much of the tumor as feasible without harming the adjacent brain tissue. During surgery, your doctor will trim a portion of your scalp and remove a bone fragment to expose the tumor.

Smaller tumors can also be treated using a technique called laser thermal ablation by your surgeon. This novel technique treats some small lesions that are difficult to access with conventional open surgery.

Occasionally, your physician may recommend a second operation to remove a portion of the tumor. This procedure, known as subtotal resection, may help alleviate your symptoms.

After surgery, you may be required to remain in the hospital for several days. You may require pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. Ask your surgeon, anesthesiologist, and nurses about your concerns about the surgery.

People with brain lesions that cannot be surgically removed have the option of radiation therapy. It destroys cancer cells with energy beams while sparing healthy brain tissue.

Additionally, it can be used to delay or inhibit tumor growth. It can be administered after surgery or concurrently with chemotherapy.

The radiation beam is generated by a linear accelerator, a physician's device. Specialized computer software modifies the beam's size to target the tumor while avoiding healthy tissue.

The radiation is then administered using a custom-fitted mask or support, which aids in maintaining stillness and ensures that the beam reaches the same area during each session.

Stereotactic radiosurgery, or SRS, is a form of radiation therapy that employs high-energy rays to administer a precise radiation dose to the tumor. SRS is frequently administered in a single session.

Radiation therapy is a highly effective method for eliminating cancer cells. However, it can also damage healthy tissue, leading to severe symptoms like migraines and seizures.

Chemotherapy destroys cancer cells primarily through the bloodstream. It may be administered following surgery or if the brain tumor returns after treatment (recurrence).

Numerous chemotherapeutic agents for treating brain tumors, including temozolomide and PCV (procarbazine, lomustine, and vincristine). The drug dosage is determined by the nature and stage of the patient's malignancy and other health factors.

Each time you receive treatment, the medications can be administered through a narrow needle or catheter inserted into a vein in your arm. It is crucial to inform your doctor if you experience any adverse effects, such as pain or fever, during treatment.

Chemotherapy can also harm healthy cells, particularly those that line the pharynx, intestines, and hair follicles. These adverse effects may be severe or long-lasting but typically improve or disappear once chemotherapy is discontinued.

Palliative care is designed to help you manage your brain tumor's symptoms and adverse effects. Additionally, it can assist you and your family cope with the emotional effects of your condition, such as depression or anxiety.

A severe illness can be difficult for individuals and their families, especially if they have children or long-term brain tumors. Immediately contact your primary care physician or your palliative care team if you believe you may require assistance.

Brain cancer patients typically have a poor prognosis and do not survive long after diagnosis3,4-7, but they can receive care in a hospice or at home, where they will receive a great deal of solace. Their underlying cancer or cerebral metastases may confound these patients' distinct challenges.

Top Factors That Influence Laser Eye Surgery Costs in Pakistan

 Laser eye surgery has become one of the most popular and effective treatments for vision correction in Pakistan. As more people seek freedom from glasses and contact lenses, the demand for procedures like LASIK, Femto LASIK, and SMILE is on the rise. But one question persists for most potential patients  what determines the Laser Eye Surgery Cost in Pakistan? The answer isn’t always straightforward. Prices vary from city to city and from clinic to clinic, depending on various medical, technological, and professional factors. In this article, we’ll explore the top elements that influence the cost of laser eye surgery and how Amanat Eye Hospital, recognized as the Best Eye Hospital in Pakistan, delivers exceptional care with transparent pricing.

1. Type of Laser Eye Surgery

The most significant factor influencing the Laser Eye Surgery Cost in Pakistan is the type of procedure. Each laser surgery technique uses different levels of technology, precision, and recovery time, which directly impacts pricing.

• Conventional LASIK:

The most common and budget-friendly option. It involves creating a flap in the cornea using a microkeratome blade.

• Femto LASIK:

A bladeless version that uses a femtosecond laser for enhanced safety and precision. It tends to be more expensive but is also gentler and faster in healing.

• SMILE (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction):

A minimally invasive and technologically advanced procedure with quick recovery and less dry eye risk. It’s the most premium of the options.

2. Expertise of the Surgeon

The experience, skill, and reputation of the ophthalmologist performing your surgery is another important cost factor. Highly qualified surgeons who have performed thousands of procedures may charge more — and rightly so. After all, your vision is precious, and you want it in the best hands.

At Amanat Eye Hospital, surgeries are conducted by globally trained eye surgeons who bring years of clinical and surgical expertise to the table. This not only ensures a safer procedure but also minimizes post-operative complications.

3. Diagnostic Technology and Pre-Operative Tests

Laser eye surgery isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. Before any procedure, detailed diagnostic tests are carried out to assess corneal thickness, eye shape, refractive error, and overall eye health. Advanced testing methods increase the accuracy of the surgery and ultimately enhance outcomes.

Hospitals with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools may charge slightly more, but these tests are essential for long-term success. Skimping on this phase can lead to poor results or even disqualification for surgery.

Amanat Eye Hospital uses the latest wavefront technology, corneal topography, and pentacam analysis to ensure precise screening before recommending any surgical option.

4. Hospital Infrastructure and Equipment

Modern laser machines come with substantial investment. Clinics that use FDA-approved, next-generation laser platforms — like VisuMax or Allegretto Wave — will naturally reflect those costs in their pricing. However, these devices provide higher safety, faster healing, and greater visual outcomes. Facilities that maintain international standards for cleanliness, patient care, and surgical support also tend to have slightly higher costs — but they also offer peace of mind and superior outcomes.

5. Customization and Personalization of Treatment

Some hospitals offer customized LASIK procedures tailored to your specific eye metrics. These treatments adjust the laser ablation pattern to the unique shape of your eye for sharper, more precise vision.

Custom treatments like Contoura Vision or Wavefront-Guided LASIK are slightly more expensive than standard procedures but can significantly improve outcomes for patients with complex prescriptions or higher-order aberrations.

Amanat Eye Hospital provides customized surgical options after a detailed consultation with each patient — ensuring every treatment is safe, effective, and result-oriented.

6. Post-Operative Care and Follow-Up Visits

Often overlooked by patients, post-surgery care is a vital component of the total laser eye surgery cost. A good hospital provides a full recovery package, including medication, follow-up visits, and access to emergency care if needed.

If you’re comparing prices between clinics, be sure to ask whether the quoted amount includes post-op consultations and medication. Some lower-cost providers may charge separately for these, which can add significantly to your final bill.

At Amanat Eye Hospital, all procedures include comprehensive aftercare and regular follow-ups to monitor healing and visual clarity.

7. City and Location

Where you choose to have your surgery in Pakistan also impacts the cost. Cities like Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad may have slightly higher prices due to increased operational costs, equipment quality, and urban demand.

However, this doesn’t mean you should opt for the cheapest clinic in a smaller city without verifying credentials, equipment, or surgeon reputation. Quality should always take priority over savings.

Amanat Eye Hospital operates in multiple major cities, ensuring access to world-class care regardless of where you live.

8. Packages and Promotional Offers

Some hospitals provide seasonal discounts or bundled packages that include surgery, consultation, and aftercare. These packages can significantly reduce your overall cost.

However, always make sure these offers come from reputed clinics with a track record of safety and patient satisfaction. Don't be swayed solely by price — your vision deserves quality care.

Amanat Eye Hospital frequently offers promotional packages without compromising on safety or standards. Their team guides patients transparently on costs, inclusions, and expectations.

Why Choose Amanat Eye Hospital?

With over two decades of excellence in ophthalmology, Amanat Eye Hospital stands as a beacon of trust, quality, and innovation. Here’s why thousands of patients choose them every year:
