Treating Malaria in India

The disease is widely prevalent all over the country and has become a scourge resulting in many deaths. The malaria pathogen is transmitted to humans through blood from bites of female Anopheles mosquitoes. Over a number of years, the parasitic protozoan has diversified into many strains some yet to be discovered. Single-celled microorganism is classified as spasmodic types.   

While vivax, ovale and malariae cause many symptoms P.falciparum is the one that is the cause of many deaths in India.  The usual symptoms are chills and fever, nausea and vomiting, lethargy, and even death. In advanced stages, the skin may become yellow as some strains affect the lever and cause jaundice.     

Blood tests are the usual mode of detecting the parasite in the blood but lately, quicker tests have been developed but their efficacy is in doubt. It will usually take three or more blood tests to detect the parasite but this is a better way to detect the infection in time and prevent aggravation of symptoms later.   

The treatment for malaria is a combination of three injections of artemisinin and seven doses of quinine tablets of 300 mg each. This treatment eliminates the parasite from the blood. This is then followed by fourteen days of primaquine treatment to eliminate pathogens from the liver. The malaria treatment using quinine and its derivatives is troublesome with side effects like nausea, vomiting, digestive discomfort, and giddiness to name a few. Hence medicines for the prevention of these symptoms are administered orally along with the course.     

As a preventive measure doxycycline is prescribed on regular basis, especially for overseas visitors traveling to malaria-affected countries like India.  Other preventive measures are mosquito repellent in form of lotions and oils, nets, incense sticks, and electronic devices that discourage the mosquitoes in their range.      

The disease should always be treated under the supervision of a qualified practitioner and self-medication could be dangerous.  Treatments differ and it is up to the doctor to prescribe medicines most suited. 

The cause of the proliferation and spread of malaria-carrying mosquitoes are many prominent being accumulated and stagnant water, lack of hygiene, and paucity of precautions. Fogging machines are useful to eradicate insects from their surroundings.
Mosquito occurrence can lead to many kinds of infections hence be aware!

In a relationship physical aspects matter. But due to lifestyle factors and illness physical relationships may take a toll. Hence regular exercise (walking), a balanced diet, and abstinence from alcohol and smoking. Alcohol even in small amounts can cause dysfunction and mar your performance. A sedentary lifestyle also makes you obese and unappealing and takes away the vigor must for active sex life.      

As age increases, it becomes more and more challenging keeping up with expectations. Aging is a natural process and nobody can stall it.  But a healthy lifestyle makes life as vigorous as when the body was young. Exercise is the key and walking is best at least 45 min will do. This will also keep you away from lifestyle diseases and make life active.   

If you face problems then use drugs that provide vigor. These will help you in making things normal. Eat lots of vegetables, herbs, and fruits.   There are some natural supplements that provide energy and vigor. Herbal extracts like red ginseng, ashwagandha, and shilajit will provide a further boost. 

Top all this with a cheerful countenance, warm and friendly nature, and add lots of tolerance. All these acts like magic potent to warm your relationship.     

Male Infertility & Treatment

In earlier times the inability to bear a child was squarely blamed on woman. With all the associated dogmas that are attributed to a woman unable to bear a child life became miserable for the unfortunate.  

The failure of conception to take place can be due to an infertile male as well. Hence after proper tests and diagnostics it is determine who needs corrective treatment. With advance therapies available conception is possible.    

Males become infertile due to lack of proper amount of sperms. The sperms could also be deformed and have no motility to fertilise the egg. Blockages is the reproductive apparatus can also hinder fertilisation of egg.  The problems could be hormonal, genetic and autoimmune,  There are many underlying medical inadequacies that require a look into through tests before corrective action can be taken.

Usually the treatment is improvement in lifestyle as well as usage of assisted conception techniques. Chronic alcoholism and tobacco use are responsible for low sperm count. The modified IVF treatment used are GIFT & ZIFT. The former is gamete intrafallopian transfer and zygote intrafallopian transfer. these are modified versions of IVF. These procedures are closer to natural conception. But the procedures require invasive interventions hence IVF procedure is preferred treatment all over.   

Latest About Women and Infertility

The latest information suggests that women with the absence of certain genes are more susceptible to reduced success in achieving conception.  The cause of infertility is attributed to cervical problems, hormonal imbalance, and uterine malformation.   Scientific journals report that the problem may be accentuated due to the absence of certain genes. Maternal factors present in the coding are crucial for the development of the preimplantation embryo. NLRP 2 was first described in the year 2000. Albeit limited knowledge prevails about maternal effect genes that play important role in embryonic development.   

The gene described as NlRP 2 if absent was responsible for many negative aspects. This is a maternal effect gene that plays an important role during embryogenesis the absence of which was related to repeatedly failed pregnancies, embryonic anomalies, malformation of reproductive organs, and complete infertility. In some cases, babies were born with disabilities. All this was tested on lab mice but the outcome on humans is evident.

This finding furthers the scope of in-vitro fertilization where the egg is fertilised in the dish and then placed into the uterus. 

Taking Care of Your Heart

Your lifeline to good health and survival is your heart and blood circulatory system. The heart is the most powerful organ in your body and is tireless. It keeps on working day and night till death takes place. A person may die of heart failure, blockage, or many other diseases that afflict this organ. 

Most of the anomalies in the heart and blood circulatory system take place due to lifestyle factors. Bad food habits, lack of exercise, undue stress, smoking, alcohol, and high cholesterol are reasons for being afflicted by a diseased heart. Some anomalies in the circulatory system and heart can be congenital. 

The disorders in circulation and in this vital organ can be prevented. Whatever is good for health is good for the heart and blood circulation. Eating fresh fruits, boiled vegetables and white meats, fish and all things healthy keeps the heart strong and working well. Regular exercise is a must. The exercise preferred would be light aerobics, yoga, or long regulated walks in the fresh air. 

In most cases, the beginning of heart disease is indicated by high blood pressure. If this is checked and lifestyle changes are made the damage to the heart can be controlled. If not then many problems can occur some can be life-threatening. 

In circumstances like these, a heart specialist should be contacted and advice taken. There are many methods to control and treat heart disease. Initially, medication is advised in case of serious threat surgery is prescribed. There are many alternative treatments for heart diseases. One of the most popular is chelation therapy, artery clearance therapy, and 3-D cardio angiography. These are noninvasive treatments non surgical bypass is also very popular. Apart from being non-surgical, the cost of the treatment is affordable and less risky than heart surgery. 

3D cardio angiography is not at all risky. Traditional coronary angiography is invasive with a risk of reaction to the dye used and artery rupture can take place. Prevention is the best cure but if damage to the heart occurs, alternative non-surgical procedures are a good option.
