would you like to tell us about your research on virginity?

but also...wdym STIs aren't as scary as we think??? I was told most of them are incurable? I know you can make aids untrasmittable and that they've even succeded in curing it a couple times but that's about it. I would love to be educated about this

yeah, the basic idea with the virginity project was that the whole concept of virginity is pretty bullshit in the context in which it was initially significant, namely cisgender women being penetrated by cisgender men, so as soon as you take it outside of that context by introducing gay and trans sexuality it totally falls apart. I mean, hell, it stops working if you even look at two cishet people doing literally anything OTHER than penis-in-vagina sex. I tripped up so many people initially when I started asking questions like "okay, so you don't think a woman loses her virginity from a man going down on her. so what if it's two women? what's the difference?" and just really getting people to face down their very penis-centered view of the sex, to the result of several people telling me that it kind of made them reevaluate what they actually think of as the first time they had sex. it's also fascinating to either read other people's accounts or discuss firsthand how queer people have either tried to make themselves fit into the binary of virginity - queer man disagreeing over whether or not you have to have penetrative anal sex to lose your virginity or oral sex is sufficient, a fascinating case of a lesbian who felt that have sex with other cis women didn't "count" and asked a cis male friend to have sex with her just so she could feel satisfied that she'd lost her virginity - or abandon it entirely. Hanne Blank's book Virgin was a formative starting point, and it really exploded for me from there.

as for the STIs - hey, bad news! you fell victim to the scare tactics used to make people afraid of sex! almost all sexually transmitted infections are very easy to treat and cure with the right medicine, which is why it's important to get tested regularly and check in with your healthcare provider at the first sign of something amiss. pubic lice, scabies, trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis - all of those are pretty easy to get rid of with some help from your doctor and a run to the pharmacy!

the major exceptions are the 4 H's: herpes, HIV, HPV, and hepatitis B.

herpes is with you forever but is an incredibly mild companion to share your body with, considering most people never experience any notable symptoms and those who do can curb the severity with medicine.

it's also worth noting that herpes is so common as to be virtually ubiquitous; the World Health Organization consistently estimates that somewhere around 80% of the world's adult population is carrying herpes simplex virus 1 or herpes simplex virus 2. a great deal of those people don't even get it from having sex, but rather by catching HSV-1 from a parent or other people they come is close contact with as a child.

you're actually thinking of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) when you mention AIDS becoming untransmittable, but that's still a very good thing! the care available for people with HIV has come incredibly far since AIDS first became known and claimed so many lives, and today it's more than possible for people infected with HIV to live long, healthy lives by taking the proper medication to manage their viral load.

with management, people with HIV will not develop AIDS (which happens when the immune system is sufficiently depleted by HIV) and by consistently taking their medication people with HIV can become undetectable (the viral load in their body is too small to be detected or measured in tests), at which point they are unable to transmit the virus to other people.

HPV (human paillomavirus) comes in many different strains, most of which are absolutely harmless and go away on their own after a couple of months or years of freeloading in your body. I cannot emphasize this enough: HPV is so common that virtually everyone who has sex has, will have, or has had it in their lives, and the vast, VAST majority of those people will never be troubled by it literally at all.

the trouble comes from a few strains of HPV that can cause genital warts, and a few others that can cause cancers in the throat, anus, cervix, vulva, vagina, and penis. while HPV can't be treated, you can reduce your risk of developing cancer by getting the HPV vaccine if you haven't already and, if you have a cervix, getting regular Pap smears to catch early warning signs of cancerous developments.

hepatitis B is a viral infection that targets the liver. in rare cases it can cause chronic health problems that can be very dangerous, but I have to emphasize that's not common. in most adults who get hep B, there will be no symptoms and it will resolve itself in a matter of weeks. the infection is riskiest in children, but at least in America most people have received vaccines against hepatitis B as babies since the 90s.

in conclusion: get your shots, take your medicine, use protection, get tested, and talk to your doctor, but know that if there's one thing humans are good at it's figuring out how to manage STIs. we've been doing it for a long time - most sexually transmitted infections and parasites have been with us since before we we became modern humans - so we're really good at it!

By Don Bell

Three groundbreaking studies pinpoint immune cells and proteins linked with the lingering condition — and suggest a possible cause.

Researchers at the University of Alberta have pinpointed two proteins that could serve as markers for identifying patients with long COVID — a discovery that may lead to treatments that will bring better quality of life for the millions of people suffering from the debilitating condition.

“We wanted to find out more about what is going on with long COVID to bring relief to sufferers — especially those patients with the most debilitating symptoms, a condition called chronic fatigue syndrome, which leads to extreme tiredness and other disabling symptoms,” says immunologist Shokrollah Elahi, a professor in the U of A’s Mike Petryk School of Dentistry, who led three groundbreaking studies aimed at improving our understanding of how long COVID develops and who may be susceptible.

Most people who get the SARS-CoV-2 infection feel sick for a week or two and then recover. But about 10 per cent end up with long-term complications that can linger for months or even years. Those complications can be wide-ranging and affect all kinds of organs, with symptoms including chronic fatigue, intense pain, trouble breathing, difficulty sleeping, cardiovascular issues and cognitive problems commonly called “brain fog.”

In the first two studies, recently published in the Journal of Autoimmunity and Frontiers in Immunology, the researchers looked at two sets of subjects: 78 patients with severe long COVID symptoms and 58 people who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 but fully recovered without any complications.

Telltale signs Elahi and his team looked at various immune cells and proteins in the blood of the study participants. They discovered that the long COVID group had higher levels of immune cells called neutrophils and monocytes that cause inflammation, and fewer protective lymphocytes. They also had more worn-out or exhausted killer T cells, which are a key part of the immune system’s defence against infections.

In the blood of the long COVID patients, the team also found higher levels of various proteins related to systemic inflammation — especially galectin-9 and artemin. These two proteins could help solve the mysteries of long COVID, Elahi says, because higher levels of galectin-9 in patients are associated with increased inflammation and brain fog. In the case of artemin, higher levels are associated with widespread pain, more severe pain and cognitive impairment.

The researchers observed that galectin-9 is shed by stressed neutrophils — the most abundant white blood cells — in long COVID patients. This released galectin-9 can promote chronic inflammation by affecting various immune cells, as Elahi’s group reported in a previous study on HIV infection.

They also found that long COVID dysregulates the production of red blood cells, which results in an abundance of immature red blood cells in the blood of these patients. Normally, immature red blood cells are present in the bone marrow but not in the blood of healthy people. It is these immature red blood cells in the blood that suppress the immune system and contribute to the elevation of artemin in the plasma of long COVID patients.

Severe infection doesn’t necessarily lead to long COVID Elahi notes that the seriousness of the initial infection does not affect the likelihood of developing long COVID. In fact, most people who end up with long COVID initially had only a mild infection that did not require intensive care or hospitalization.

The research team also found that women are disproportionately affected by long COVID and are three times more likely than men to develop the condition.

In the third study, published last week in The Lancet Microbe, Elahi’s team showed there are no signs of systemic SARS-CoV-2 present in the blood of long COVID patients who were examined 12 months after infection — challenging previous assertions that the virus remains present in the blood of long COVID sufferers.

So if it’s not the virus itself, what could be causing long COVID? Thanks to the information provided by galectin-9 and artemin, Elahi says he has an idea as to what is happening.

“I think that chronic inflammation in long COVID patients results in the elevation of these two proteins. At the earliest stage of disease, we know that some patients have gastrointestinal symptoms like diarrhea — but not everybody,” he points out. “I think those individuals who have gastrointestinal involvement are more likely to develop long COVID.”

The gastrointestinal problems result in damage to the intestinal tissues, along with gut leakiness. It means that if even small traces of microbes from the gut get into the bloodstream, it could result in chronic inflammation in long COVID patients. The team found elevated levels of protein markers associated with gut leakiness in these patients.

Elahi says that is actually good news, because these gut problems can be treated. “There are medications available that can be used for gut leakiness. So I think that might be a solution for long COVID patients.”

Elahi adds that in a previous study, his team discovered that some long COVID patients had a deficiency in two amino acids, sarcosine and serine, that have anti-inflammatory functions and neuroprotective effects. Both are available as food supplements that can be purchased at health-food stores or online.

“Some patients who have taken them have claimed signs of improvement.”

Elahi says the U of A, with its recognized excellence in research related to health and well-being, is a great environment in which to do his work.

“The most important thing when you want to do human studies is having resources in place, having infrastructure so you can recruit patients. In particular, Dr. Mo Osman and his team with the University of Alberta Hospital have been instrumental for clinical assessment and patient recruitment.”

Elahi is also grateful to the long COVID community on Facebook, who were helpful in identifying and getting access to patients for the studies.

“Basically, as scientists, whatever we do, we have to bring it from the bench to the bedside, to see if we can benefit patients. This is our goal.”

The research was funded mainly by a grant from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Funding was also provided by the Li Ka Shing Institute of Virology. The researchers also thank the study volunteers who provided samples and supported the work.

Listeria

For whatever reason it reminds me of Desperate Housewives and Wisteria lane. Or just Wisteria in general.

It's unfortunately it's anything but wistful or romantic.

This is inspired by the netflix series Poisoned. I hate that title but it's a great watch. I learned a lot from it. I highly recommend it particularly for medical students and residents etc.

So, listeria are gram positive rods (most bacilli are negative) making this relatively easier to remember (purple rods). Also catalase positive. IT's also a facultative anaerobe - so both cultures may be positive (aerobic and anaerobic bottles).

the species that is the culprit for major human pathogens is Listeria monocytogenes.

At increased risk groups (more likely to die of Listeriosis) - the immunocompromised and extremes of life, including the elderly, pregnant women and neonates. Immunocompromised: HIV, anyone on long term highish doses of steroids, leukaemia/oncology patients etc. Worryingly, incubation time is 3-90 days in these groups, so it's difficult to really trace or keep track of. Pregnant women are at 20x higher risk of acquiring the severe form.

Source: CDC

Hence why during pregnancy you're advised not to consume raw salads, fruits, cold cuts, soft cheeses, sprouts and smoked salmon or sushi, no mayo and no raw egg (definitely no raw milk) etc. Similarly, common recommendation is you serve none of these to children under the age of 1. It naturally lives in soil (hence avoidance of raw sprouts) and can live in animals. So it can frequently contaminate food.

Image Source: SA Health

As with COVID (I can't believe I'm using COVID as a measure of things), it can cause mild food borne illness (nausea, vomiting diarrhoea, myalgias, even fevers) to invasive disease causing sepsis and even meningitis or encephalitis. Incubation time is a few days in the mild form.

IMage source:

Death by Listeria when you have the severe form (Listeriosis) is 20%, astonishingly high given you have a 1% chance of dying from Salmonella.

It's a small risk but the issue is that complications and fatality if you do acquire is high. It's also highly preventable, but the challenge is food safety and avoiding certain foods as a consumer.

i.e. in pregnancy, most will have diarrhoeal illness that's mild. But in the subset that get invasive disease and really unwell, there's a 20% risk of miscarriage, risk of premature labour and risk of still birth at 3% in the US. In the states, pregnant women are also 10x more likely to get Listeria infection. That is, illness after exposure.

On the final note of prevention, also always properly refridgerate food to 4 degrees celsius and cook meat to 165 fahrenheit or 73 degrees celsius. As I've learned from the Poisoned documentary, you can ask restaurants to do this, ask them to use an internal thermometer to measure - as rare/medium rare etc have no meaning as it pertains to food safety. If they can't, order something else.

With meningoencephalitis, we just presume that Listeria is a possibility and treat empirically while awaiting investigations.

Investigations: - CSF (lumbar puncture) in event of signs of meningism or encephalitis (classic headache/fever/stiff neck/rash and/or acute confusion or seizure AND fevers) --> expect the classic features of bacterial meningiits and gram stain positive for purple rods - PCR - stool cultures have no value - blood cultures--> look for gram positive rods in the preliminary findings, expect a call from the lab Empirical therapy: - none in asymptomatic or mild disease. just monitoring until symptoms resolve and supportive care (fluids etc.) - Listeria is a notifiable disease to the health department in most Western countries that keep track of outbreaks. - in the US, standard treatment is ampicillin. - in Australia at least, standard therapy is IV benzylpenicillin, 2.4 g 4 hrly in meningitis or encephalitis and everyone is just started on this until bug identification/gram staining and sensitivities return. - in hypersensitivity, bactrim is used. - cephalosporins have no activity against them (or "inherently resistant), hence you can see IV ceftriaxone and benzylpen in the drug regimen for empirical therapy of meningitis - cef covers gram negatives, strep pneumo (most common cause of meningitis) and neisseria meningitidis - duration of therapy in severe disease: 3 weeks, 6 weeks if immunosuppressed

Really great summary here.

Random historical trivia

listeria is named for Dr. Joseph Lister, a British surgeon who introduced sterilisation of equipment and antiseptics to surgery, improve post op care and observed that microbes are the cause of cases of poor wound healing or post op infections. he also began to look at them under the microscope as an early pioneer of bacteriology.

Lister's father by the way, made compound microscopes for a living, so lister became proficient at using this and started publishing articles during medical school

this also led to a lot more research on inflammation and coagulation

weirder trivia: in his med school days, surgeons commonly did not wash hands between patients and some didn't even change gowns, glorifying how busy they where by how many stains were on it by the end of the day

so unsurprisingly his early battles to pioneer antiseptics and aseptic techqniues to prevent the transmission of infection in surgical patients were pretty uphill

All you Know about Anal Cancer

Anal cancer, while not always openly talked about, is an important health issue that deserves attention. In this blog, we are then to explore the essential rudiments of anal cancer, uncovering details about what puts you at threat, signs to watch out for, how it’s diagnosed, and the available treatment choices. Dr Srivatsan Gurumurthy, a Robotic Surgeon in Chennai And expert in this field, shares precious perceptivity to help you understand and address this frequently- overlooked health concern.

What is Anal Cancer?

Anal cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the apkins of the anus, which is the occasion at the end of the rectum. The anus is a portion of the digestive system and is responsible for the elimination of logical waste from the body. Anal cancer is relatively delicate and assimilated to other manners of cancer, but its frequency has been adding.

Symptoms of Anal Cancer:

Anal cancer is a delicate shape of cancer that starts in the anus apkins. It’s important to note that Dr. Srivatsan Gurumurthy.

Rectal Bleeding: One of the most common symptoms is bleeding from the rectum or bolod in the coprolite. This bleeding may appear as bright red or may make the coprolite appear dark and sojourn.

Anal Pain or Discomfort: Persistent pain or discomfort in the anal region that does not improve with time or usual treatments may be a symptom of anal cancer.

Changes in Bowel Habits: Changes in bowel fashions, similar to patient diarrhea or constipation, may be reflective of a case in the anal or rectal area.

Anal Itching: Persistent itching around the anus that doesn’t respond to over-the-counter treatments may be a symptom of anal cancer.

Causes of Anal Cancer:

Dr Srivatsan Gurumurthy can provide information about potential causes of anal cancer based on medical knowledge.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: Steady contamination with specific kinds of HPV, especially HPV 16 and 18, is a critical gamble factor for butt-centric malignant growth. HPV is a physically communicated virus.

Weakened Immune System: Independences with devitalized capable textures, undifferentiated from those living with HIV/Helps or individuals who have traversed release transplantation, are at a procured trouble of making butt-driven grumblings.

Anal Intraepithelial Neoplasia (AIN): AIN is a pre-cancerous condition that may progress to anal cancer. It is often associated with persistent HPV infection.

Anal Fistula or Abscess: Chronic conditions such as receptive region or abscesses, which may result from infections in the submissive area, could potentially increase the risk of anal cancer.

Risk factors of Anal Cancer:

Dr. Srivatsan Gurumurthy has identified several common risk factors for anal cancer, which include:

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: Persistent infection with certain strains of HPV, especially HPV type 16 and 18, is a significant risk factor for anal cancer. HPV is a sexually transmitted infection.

Sexual Activity: Engaging in receptive anal intercourse increases the risk of anal cancer. This is often linked to the transmission of HPV.

HIV Infection: People with a weakened safe structure, similar to those living with HIV/Helps, are at an extended bet of making butt-driven infection. HIV-positive individuals could have a higher inescapability of consistent HPV sickness.

Smoking: Tobacco use has been identified as a risk factor for anal cancer. Smoking can weaken the immune system and may contribute to the development of cancerous cells.

Age and Gender: Anal cancer is more common in older adults. Additionally, it occurs more frequently in women than in men.

It’s important to note that having one or more risk factors doesn’t guarantee the development of anal cancer, and individuals without these risk factors can still be diagnosed with the condition.

Diagnosis of Anal Cancer:

Rectal hemorrhage is a common symptom of anal cancer. People who experience anus bleeding, itching, or pain must immediately seek medical attention before anal cancer goes beyond stage one. Anal cancer can be diagnosed during routine checks or treatments.

Anal cancer can even be diagnosed through digital rectal exams. These are typically performed as part of a prostate exam. Manual rectal exams, in which the doctor inserts a finger into the anus to feel any growths or lumps, are prevalent in both gender pelvic exams.

Another way to diagnose anal cancer can be by using Anal Pap Smears. This is a similar process to a traditional Pap Smear. However, in this case, the doctor will use a cotton swab to gather cells from the anal lining which will later be sent for further examination.

A biopsy can also be done to diagnose anal cancer.

Treatment Of Anal Cancer:

The primary treatment modalities include:

Surgery: Removal of small tumors that have not spread deeply into the tissues. One of the most common surgeries for anal cancer is local resection surgery. It is done to remove the anus tumor as well as certain healthy tissue around it. This process is done only if anal cancer has not spread to other organs of the body. It is an ideal procedure for those who are diagnosed with anal cancer at an early stage, and for those who have tiny tumours. Another surgery that can be conducted for anal cancer includes Abdominoperineal (AP) Resection. This is known to be a more invasive anal cancer surgery. This procedure is for those people who did not react well to other treatments or those who are at an advanced stage.

Radiation Therapy: External Beam Radiation is directed at the tumor from outside the body to kill cancer cells.

Chemotherapy: Medications are regulated orally or intravenously to kill or hinder the development of disease cells. Frequently utilized in blend with radiation treatment.

Targeted Therapy: Prescriptions that target explicit atoms engaged with disease development, frequently utilized related to chemotherapy.

How can Dr. Srivatsan Gurumurthy help?

Dr. Srivatsan Gurumurthy provides a comprehensive range of services for treating GI Cancers at GEM Hospital, Chennai. If you notice any symptoms of anal cancer or are diagnosed with anal cancer then consult with Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgeon in Chennai Dr. Srivatsan Gurumurthy at GEM Hospital, Chennai.

What are Sign and Risk Factor of Cervical Cancer ? Which Hospital Cerivcal Cancer Specialist in Delhi?

Cervical cancer is a significant health concern affecting women worldwide. While advancements in medical science have improved our understanding of the disease and its prevention, it remains crucial for women to be aware of the signs and risk factors associated with cervical cancer. Early detection can greatly increase the chances of successful treatment. In this article, we will explore the signs and risk factors of cervical cancer.

Signs of Cervical Cancer

Abnormal Vaginal Bleeding: One of the most common signs of cervical cancer is abnormal vaginal bleeding. This can manifest as bleeding between menstrual periods, after intercourse, or after menopause. Any unexplained vaginal bleeding should be promptly reported to a healthcare provider.

Pelvic Pain: Persistent, unexplained pelvic pain or discomfort can be a sign of cervical cancer. This pain may occur during intercourse or at other times and should not be ignored.

Pain During Intercourse: Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse, known as dyspareunia, can also be indicative of cervical cancer. It may occur due to the growth of tumors in the cervix.

Unusual Vaginal Discharge: An unusual vaginal discharge that is watery, bloody, or has a foul odor may be a sign of cervical cancer. It is essential to differentiate between normal vaginal discharge and unusual changes.

Painful Urination: Cervical cancer Treatment in Delhi can sometimes cause urinary symptoms, including painful urination. However, this is less common than other symptoms and can also be caused by various other conditions.

Fatigue and Weight Loss: As with many cancers, cervical cancer can cause general symptoms like fatigue and unexplained weight loss. These symptoms are often seen in advanced stages of the disease.

Risk Factors of Cervical Cancer

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Infection: HPV is the leading risk factor for cervical cancer. It is a common sexually transmitted infection that can lead to changes in cervical cells, potentially progressing to cancer over time. Vaccination against HPV is available and recommended for young individuals to reduce this risk.

Smoking: Smoking is a significant risk factor for cervical cancer. Women who smoke are more likely to develop the disease and have a higher chance of it progressing to an advanced stage.

Weak Immune System: A weakened immune system, often due to conditions like HIV/AIDS or immunosuppressive medications, can increase the risk of cervical cancer. A robust immune system helps the body fight off HPV infections.

Early Age of Sexual Activity: Engaging in sexual activity at an early age, particularly before the age of 18, increases the risk of exposure to HPV and, consequently, cervical cancer.

Multiple Sexual Partners: Having multiple sexual partners can increase the risk of HPV infection, which is a primary cause of cervical cancer. Cervical Cancer Doctor in Delhi

Family History: Women with a family history of cervical cancer may have a higher risk due to possible genetic factors or shared environmental exposures.

Oral Contraceptive Use: Long-term use of oral contraceptives (birth control pills) may slightly increase the risk of cervical cancer. However, this risk decreases after stopping their use.

Socioeconomic Factors: Limited access to healthcare and regular screenings can also increase the risk, as cervical cancer may not be detected in its early stages.

Thrombocytopenia: Understanding Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment

Thrombocytopenia is a medical condition characterised by an abnormally low number of platelets in the blood. Platelets, also known as thrombocytes, are crucial for blood clotting and wound healing. When platelet levels drop below the normal range (150,000 to 450,000 platelets per microliter of blood), it can lead to excessive bleeding and bruising. This blog will delve into the symptoms, causes, and treatment options for thrombocytopenia, providing a comprehensive understanding of this condition.

Symptoms of Thrombocytopenia

The symptoms of thrombocytopenia can vary depending on the severity of the condition. In mild cases, individuals may not experience any noticeable symptoms. However, as platelet levels decrease, symptoms can become more apparent and severe. Common symptoms include:

Easy or Excessive Bruising (Purpura): Individuals with thrombocytopenia may notice that they bruise easily or develop large bruises from minor injuries.

Prolonged Bleeding from Cuts: Even small cuts can result in prolonged bleeding that is difficult to stop.

Petechiae: These are tiny red or purple spots on the skin, often appearing on the lower legs, caused by bleeding under the skin.

Bleeding Gums and Nosebleeds: Frequent or severe bleeding from the gums or nose can be a sign of low platelet levels.

Blood in Urine or Stools: The presence of blood in urine (hematuria) or stools (melena) can indicate internal bleeding.

Heavy Menstrual Periods: Women with thrombocytopenia may experience unusually heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia).

Fatigue: Chronic blood loss and the body's effort to compensate for low platelet levels can lead to fatigue and weakness.

Category

Cause

Description

Decreased Platelet Production

Leukemia and Other Cancers

Infiltrate the bone marrow and disrupt normal platelet production.

Aplastic Anemia

Bone marrow fails to produce sufficient blood cells, including platelets.

Viral Infections

Infections such as hepatitis C or HIV can impair bone marrow function.

Chemotherapy and Radiation Therapy

Treatments for cancer that can damage the bone marrow and reduce platelet production.

Heavy Alcohol Consumption

Excessive alcohol intake can suppress bone marrow activity.

Increased Platelet Destruction

Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP)

Autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys platelets.

Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP)

Rare condition causing blood clots in small blood vessels, using up large numbers of platelets.

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)

Serious condition causing widespread clotting and bleeding throughout the body.

Medications

Certain medications, such as heparin, can trigger an immune response that destroys platelets.

Sequestration of Platelets in the Spleen

Liver Disease

Can cause the spleen to become enlarged and trap more platelets than usual.

Certain Cancers

Can lead to splenic sequestration, reducing the number of platelets in circulation.

Diagnosis of Thrombocytopenia

Diagnosing thrombocytopenia involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and laboratory tests. Key diagnostic steps include:

Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test measures the number of platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells in the blood. A low platelet count confirms thrombocytopenia.

Peripheral Blood Smear: A sample of blood is examined under a microscope to assess the appearance of platelets and other blood cells.

Bone Marrow Biopsy: If the cause of thrombocytopenia is unclear, a bone marrow biopsy may be performed to evaluate the production of blood cells.

Blood Clotting Tests: Tests such as prothrombin time (PT) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) measure how long it takes for blood to clot and can help identify clotting disorders.

Consult our internal medicine specialist in Jaipur if you need treatment for Thrombocytopenia.

Treatment of Thrombocytopenia

The treatment of thrombocytopenia depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Treatment options include:

Medications:

Corticosteroids: These drugs can suppress the immune system and reduce platelet destruction in cases of immune thrombocytopenia.

Immunoglobulins: Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) can temporarily increase platelet counts by interfering with the immune system's attack on platelets.

Thrombopoietin Receptor Agonists: These medications stimulate the bone marrow to produce more platelets.

Blood Transfusions: In severe cases, platelet transfusions may be necessary to quickly increase platelet levels and control bleeding.

Splenectomy: Surgical removal of the spleen may be considered if the spleen is trapping and destroying platelets. This procedure is typically reserved for cases where other treatments have failed.

Treating Underlying Conditions: Addressing the root cause of thrombocytopenia, such as treating infections, discontinuing causative medications, or managing liver disease, can help restore normal platelet levels.

Lifestyle Modifications: Patients with thrombocytopenia should avoid activities that increase the risk of bleeding and injury. This includes avoiding contact sports, using a soft-bristled toothbrush, and being cautious with sharp objects.

Consult our internal medicine hospital in Jaipur if you need the above treatment to manage thrombocytopenia. 

Prevention Strategies

While some causes of thrombocytopenia cannot be prevented, certain strategies can help minimize the risk or manage symptoms:

Balanced Diet: Maintain a diet rich in nutrients like folate and vitamin B12 to support healthy blood cell production.

Limit Alcohol: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, which can impair bone marrow function.

Medication Management: Use blood-thinning medications only when necessary and under medical supervision.

Regular Check-ups: Regular health check-ups can help detect early signs of thrombocytopenia and other health issues.

Common Risk Factors

Understanding who is at risk can help in early detection and management:

Age: Older adults are more susceptible to conditions that can cause thrombocytopenia.

Pre-existing Conditions: Autoimmune diseases, liver disease, and certain cancers increase the risk.

Medications and Chemicals: Exposure to certain medications and chemicals can lead to thrombocytopenia.

Genetic Predisposition: Family history of blood disorders can be a risk factor.

Table summarizing lifestyle management tips for living with thrombocytopenia:

Aspect

Tips

Injury Prevention

- Avoid contact sports and activities with a high risk of injury.

- Use protective gear (e.g., helmets, knee pads) when necessary.

- Be cautious with sharp objects and avoid activities that could cause cuts or bruises.

Dietary Recommendations

- Maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients like folate and vitamin B12.

- Include foods that support platelet health, such as leafy greens, citrus fruits, and lean proteins.

- Stay hydrated and avoid excessive alcohol consumption.

Stress Management

- Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

- Ensure adequate sleep to help the body recover and maintain immunity.

- Engage in regular, moderate exercise to boost overall health and reduce stress.

Emotional and Mental Health Support

The emotional impact of living with a chronic condition like thrombocytopenia should not be overlooked:

Coping Strategies: Develop coping strategies for dealing with the emotional stress of the condition.

Support Groups: Joining support groups or seeking counselling can provide emotional support and practical advice.

Complications of Thrombocytopenia

Awareness of potential complications underscores the importance of early intervention:

Internal Bleeding: Low platelet levels can lead to internal bleeding, which can be life-threatening.

Most Common Health Screenings?

Health screenings are vital preventive measures that help identify potential health issues early, often before symptoms appear. Early detection allows for timely intervention, improving outcomes and quality of life. These screenings target common or high-risk conditions and vary based on age, gender, and individual risk factors. Here is an overview of the most common health screenings, their purposes, and who should consider them.

Blood pressure screening detects hypertension, a condition that increases the risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney damage. If blood pressure is within a healthy range, adults should check it at least every two years. Those with higher readings or risk factors may need more frequent monitoring. Regular checks are essential, as blood pressure can change over time without noticeable symptoms.

Cholesterol screening measures levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, identifying risks for cardiovascular disease. Adults aged 20 and older should have their cholesterol checked every 4-6 years. Individuals with additional risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease, may require more frequent testing.

Blood glucose screening identifies elevated blood sugar levels, which can indicate diabetes or prediabetes. If there are no other risk factors, adults aged 35 and older should undergo screening every three years. Those with risk factors, such as a sedentary lifestyle or obesity, should consider earlier and more frequent testing.

Several cancer screenings are recommended based on age, gender, and risk factors. Breast cancer screenings using mammograms are essential for detecting early signs of cancer. Women aged 50-74 should have a mammogram every two years, while those with higher risks may start earlier. Cervical cancer screenings, including Pap smears and HPV tests, identify abnormal cells that could develop into cancer. Women should begin Pap smears at age 21 every three years and transition to combined Pap and HPV testing every five years at age 30. Colorectal cancer screening starts at age 45 using methods like colonoscopy every 10 years, annual stool tests, or flexible sigmoidoscopy every five years. Prostate cancer screening uses the PSA blood test to detect early signs of cancer, with men aged 50 and older encouraged to discuss the risks and benefits with their healthcare provider.

Bone density testing, typically done with a DEXA scan, screens for osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Women aged 65 and older and men aged 70 and older should have a bone density test. Younger individuals with risk factors like long-term steroid use or a history of fractures may require earlier testing.

Vision and hearing screenings detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and hearing loss. Adults should have comprehensive eye exams every 2-4 years, increasing in frequency after age 50. Hearing tests are recommended every 3-5 years for adults, with annual checks for those at higher risk.

Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference assessments evaluate body weight and fat distribution, both of which are linked to health risks like heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. BMI calculations should be part of routine checkups for everyone.

Mental health screenings identify conditions such as depression, anxiety, and other disorders. These screenings are typically part of annual checkups, particularly for individuals with risk factors or a history of mental health issues. Both adults and adolescents should be screened, especially during stressful periods or life changes.

Sexually transmitted infection (STI) screenings detect infections such as HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. Testing is recommended annually for sexually active individuals at higher risk. HIV screening is advised for everyone aged 15-65 at least once in their lifetime. Regular testing helps prevent long-term complications and reduces the spread of infections.

Dental checkups screen for cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. Regular visits every 6-12 months help maintain oral health and identify potential issues early. Dental screenings are important for everyone, starting in early childhood.

Health screenings are a cornerstone of preventive care, helping detect conditions early when they are most treatable. Regular screenings tailored to individual risk factors, age, and gender significantly improve health outcomes. By working closely with healthcare providers, individuals can stay proactive in maintaining their health and well-being through timely screenings.

The Connection Between Oral Health and Overall Wellness: Why Your Dentist Matters

When it comes to maintaining overall health, many people overlook the crucial role played by oral hygiene and regular dental care. Your mouth is more than just a gateway for food and drink; it's a window into your body's overall well-being. In Harleysville, Pennsylvania, residents are fortunate to have access to quality dental care. A visit to adentist in Harleysville can be a significant step towards not just a brighter smile but also improved general health.

The Mouth-Body Connection

Your mouth can often reflect the state of your overall health. Many systemic diseases, such as diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and certain cancers, may first become apparent through oral symptoms. Regular dental check-ups can facilitate the early detection of issues, which may result in more effective treatment options.

The human mouth is home to countless bacteria, most of which are harmless when kept in check by good oral hygiene. Maintaining proper oral care helps manage the bacterial population in your mouth, contributing to overall health. This balance is essential for preventing potential infections that could affect other parts of the body.

Oral Health and Chronic Diseases

Research has revealed possible connections between oral health and numerous chronic conditions. For instance, there's growing evidence suggesting a connection between oral health and cardiovascular diseases. While more studies are needed to establish definitive causal relationships, maintaining good oral health is considered a beneficial practice for overall wellness.

Diabetes and oral health have a bidirectional relationship. People with diabetes may experience changes in their oral health, while oral health conditions can impact blood glucose control. Regular dental check-ups are especially beneficial for individuals managing diabetes, as they can help maintain both oral and overall health.

Pregnancy and Oral Health

Expectant mothers should prioritize their oral health with extra care. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can affect oral health, making regular dental care even more important during this time. Pregnant women are advised to keep up with regular dental check-ups during their pregnancy to promote both their own health and the well-being of their developing baby.

The Role of Your Dentist

Regular visits to your dentist play a crucial role in maintaining oral health and, by extension, overall wellness. Routine check-ups and cleanings help maintain optimal oral hygiene, contributing to your overall health. Dentists are trained to spot early signs of various health issues, not just those confined to the mouth. From oral cancer screenings to identifying signs of nutritional deficiencies, your dentist can be an important ally in maintaining your overall health.

A skilled dentist can provide personalized advice on maintaining oral health based on your individual needs and health profile. This might include recommendations for specific oral care products, dietary advice, or strategies to manage conditions like sensitive gums. Dentists can enhance your overall wellness by customizing their approach to meet your specific needs, ultimately helping you achieve optimal oral health.

The Future of Dental Care

As our understanding of the connection between oral health and overall wellness grows, the field of dentistry continues to evolve. New technologies and treatment approaches are constantly being developed to provide more effective, comfortable, and comprehensive care. These advancements are designed to improve not just your oral health but also your overall well-being.

Conclusion

The link between oral health and overall wellness is clear and significant. By prioritizing your oral health and maintaining regular visits to your dentist, you're not just investing in a beautiful smile – you're taking an important step towards better overall health. Recognize the significance of dental care and incorporate it into your health routine for a healthier and happier you.

Cervical Cancer Awareness: Taking Charge of Your Health

Cervical cancer, a life-threatening yet preventable disease, affects thousands of women worldwide every year. It develops in the cells of the cervix, the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Cervical cancer is most commonly caused by a persistent infection with the human papillomavirus (HPV). While it is a serious health concern, it is also one of the most preventable cancers when detected early. Abdominal Cancer Day aims to raise awareness about cervical cancer, its causes, prevention, and the importance of early detection.

What Is Cervical Cancer?

Cervical cancer occurs when the cells in the cervix begin to grow abnormally and uncontrollably. The primary cause is infection with certain strains of HPV, a common virus transmitted through sexual contact. While many HPV infections resolve on their own, some can persist and lead to precancerous changes in the cervical cells. Over time, these abnormal cells can develop into cervical cancer if left untreated.

The Importance of Awareness

Awareness plays a pivotal role in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer. By educating the public about the causes, risk factors, symptoms, and prevention methods, organizations like Abdominal Cancer Day aim to empower women to take proactive measures for their health. Knowing the signs of cervical cancer and understanding the importance of regular screenings can save lives.

Risk Factors for Cervical Cancer

Several factors can increase the risk of developing cervical cancer. These include:

HPV infection: The most significant risk factor, particularly with high-risk strains of the virus.

Smoking: Women who smoke are at twice the risk of developing cervical cancer.

Weakened immune system: Conditions like HIV or taking immunosuppressive medications can make it harder for the body to fight off HPV infections.

Multiple pregnancies or early sexual activity: These factors may increase the likelihood of developing the disease.

Symptoms of Cervical Cancer

In its early stages, cervical cancer often presents no symptoms. However, as the disease progresses, women may experience symptoms such as:

Abnormal vaginal bleeding between periods, after intercourse, or after menopause

Unusual vaginal discharge

Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse

It’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider if any of these symptoms are present. Early detection through regular screenings, such as Pap smears and HPV testing, is vital in catching cervical cancer at its most treatable stage.

Preventing Cervical Cancer

The good news is that cervical cancer is highly preventable. Abdominal Cancer Day advocates for prevention through:

Regular Screening: Pap smears and HPV tests are essential in detecting abnormal cells before they develop into cancer. Women aged 21 to 65 should undergo regular screenings as recommended by their healthcare provider.

HPV Vaccination: Vaccines that protect against the most common cancer-causing strains of HPV are available. These vaccines are most effective when administered before an individual becomes sexually active.

Healthy Lifestyle Choices: Avoiding smoking and practicing safe sex can reduce the risk of HPV infection and cervical cancer.

The Role of Abdominal Cancer Day in Promoting Awareness

Abdominal Cancer Day is committed to spreading awareness about cancers affecting the abdominal region, including cervical cancer. Through education campaigns, events, and outreach, the organization strives to ensure that women are informed about the importance of regular screenings, HPV vaccinations, and recognizing early warning signs. By fostering a community of support and knowledge, Abdominal Cancer Day empowers individuals to take charge of their health and contribute to reducing the global burden of cervical cancer.

Conclusion

Cervical cancer awareness is critical to prevention and early detection. By promoting education about the disease, encouraging regular screenings, and advocating for HPV vaccination, organizations like Abdominal Cancer Day are making strides in reducing the incidence of cervical cancer worldwide. Women can significantly lower their risk of developing this preventable cancer by taking proactive steps and seeking timely medical advice.

This is why women got one piercing, one hall in the earlobe on each side. Just like my love, Jennifer Kim. That's the only piercing she had, and she didn't have any tattoos. I liked it, cause she more small conservative earrings. I don't mind the bigger stuff, but also you gotta understand it's in a stretch to earlobe.

So, these people don't give a s*** if they sell it to you. And you come down with a disease, but the funny thing is they should, because if they do, you can sue them!!!! And so if lawyers are reading this post, this opens up class action lawsuits against these organizations that do tattoos, and all forms of body piercing!!!! So they're very susceptible when you do something wrong, it causes something to happen to your body incorrectly causes you to get infections, and then you spread those infections.They can be sued also by health insurance companies for the medical costs related to piercing and tattoos.When people get sick!!!! So they think class action lawsuits on behalf of individuals while you can get class action lawsuits on behalf of the federal state county and local governments against these individuals, just like they did with the cigarette...

So the state attorney general, the county attorney general, or whoever's a head prosecutor n the city like jennifer and in the city of chicago, can engage in a class action lawsuit against these manufacturers for the detrimental effects it caused society!!!!

Recently in a class action lawsuit, a Madison County Illinois Circuit Judge awarded more than $10 billion to smokers who sued Philip Morris. Under Illinois court rules, in order to appeal the judgment Philip Morris must post a bond equal to the judgment plus costs and interest. The judge set the bond at $12 billion.

AGs Reviewing Impact of Verdict Against Philip Morris

They think they can, but they can't and you can destroy them and it can be lawsuits by the federal state county and local government coordinating with Health Insurance providers. Suing them in a big class action lawsuit, because who should have been part of the class action lawsuit? Or all the health insurance companies, they needed to get their money back!!!! 💰 And so did medicaid, and medicare need to get their money back... So the money shouldn't have went to the general account of these governments, it should've went back to health insurance companies and the government agencies that provide healthcare!!!!! So where the money went is into the politician's pocket, and they spent it on other things, but healthcare for our society!!!! And i'm not four governmental, I want governmental supervising and overseeing and I want private health insurance, providing the healthcare.. And then this breaks it up and people get lots of selection, and I don't like a single payer system!!! I am all for the government credit for seniors and for the disabled.They can do that... But I want them the they're in office not to provide services in that form, they're supposed to allow those things to be provided by the independent market. They're supposed to supervise like the sec. Does and they help create self-regulating organizations like finra and the self-regulating organization works in hand? With the sec... This is what ADT and neighborhood watches like mcgruff, and all that community area policing. My civilians are supposed to be working, creating these self regulating organizations working with law enforcement.... So take it from that example the sec and how they work with finra, and how it makes this country better!!! The sec doesn't get into providing stocks and bonds and everything else. They stay out of the private market. They're a regulating organization, and that's the way it should be. The government should get out of health care and be a regulating organization from the federal to the state to the county to the local.... This is what reagan was doing with deregulation.Getting the government out of the private sector!!!! 🙄 Like with military, it is all private sector there is no government manufacturing.

What are Common Signs of Infertility in Men and Women? 

Infertility is the inability to become pregnant after engaging in frequent, unprotected intercourse for anywhere between six months and a year, depending on your age. Not all cases of infertility result in “sterility”—the inability to ever produce a child. A child can eventually be born to half of couples who receive medical assistance.

Obstacles to conception can affect both men and women. 20% of infertile couples have issues with both partners’ fertility. After conducting all necessary testing, no cause is identified in 15% of couples. We refer to this as unexplained infertility.

What are the causes of infertility in men?

Causes of infertility in men may include:

Abnormal sperm development or function as a result of undeveloped testicles, genetic flaws, medical conditions like diabetes, or infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, the mumps, or HIV. Varicocele (enlarged veins in the testes) can also lower sperm quality.

Sperm delivery issues due to sexual problems such as structural issues such as a blockage in the testis, early ejaculation, genetic conditions such as cystic fibrosis, or damage or injury to the reproductive organs.

Excessive exposure to radiation and other environmental elements such as pesticides and other chemicals, and radiation.

Fertility can also be impacted by cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, marijuana use, anabolic steroids, and intake of drugs for depression, high blood pressure, and bacterial infections.

Infertility can be a challenging journey for many couples, and recognizing the signs early can lead to timely intervention and treatment. At CT Nursing Home, we understand the emotional and physical toll that infertility can take, which is why we are committed to providing comprehensive care and support. Here’s a closer look at the common signs of infertility in both men and women.

Signs of Infertility in Women:

Irregular Menstrual Cycles: Women may experience cycles that are inconsistent in length, which can indicate hormonal imbalances or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

Painful or Heavy Periods: Severe cramps or excessively heavy bleeding can be symptoms of underlying conditions such as endometriosis, which is known to affect fertility.

No Periods: Missing periods for several months can signal a need for evaluation, as it may suggest issues with ovulation.

Hormonal Fluctuations: Symptoms like unexplained weight gain, acne, facial hair growth, or thinning hair can indicate hormonal imbalances that may affect fertility.

Pain During Intercourse: Experiencing pain during sex can be a sign of conditions that may impact fertility, such as endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease.

Signs of Infertility in Men:

Changes in Sexual Desire: A decrease in libido can be linked to hormonal issues affecting fertility.

Testicular Pain or Swelling: Discomfort or swelling in the testicles may indicate infections or other conditions that can impact sperm production.

Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty maintaining an erection can be a sign of hormonal imbalances or other health issues.

Problems with Ejaculation: Issues such as premature ejaculation or inability to ejaculate can significantly affect fertility.

Small or Firm Testicles: Testicular health is crucial for sperm production; abnormalities can indicate potential fertility issues.

If you or your partner have been trying to conceive for over a year without success (or six months if you are over 35), it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in your fertility journey.

Conclusion

At CT Nursing Home, we offer specialized infertility services tailored to meet the unique needs of each couple. Find the best Infertility specialist in Dhanori, Pune & make an appointment online instantly!
