As we grow old, our bodies grow old with us and as do our bones. As children, the same bones that enable us to play for hours without getting tired and fall down everyday in park and on the roads, fail us in the old age. After about 60 years of age, the slightest fall or physical trauma can result in breaking of our bones. But what causes this depletion in our bones? As we age, bones loose their density, making them weak and brittle. Despite being strong in our youth, eventually, bones start to weaken and get cracked and broken easily.

When we fracture most of our bones in young age, the doctors usually just administer a plaster on the area so that the bone can heal itself. It is only in some specific cases that any other medical or surgical interference is required. However, in the old age, our bodies aren't strong enough to heal themselves. Osteoporosis refers to a  condition of the bones that makes them brittle and more susceptible to fractures. As you would imagine, it is fairly common among the elderly.

Vidya Ramakrishnan is a single parent who lives with her mother, Revathi Ramakrishnan. A few months ago, Revathi fell down from a Rikshaw and fractured her wrist.

Worried about her mother's heath, Vidya called up and booked an appointment with an best orthopedist in Chennai. The doctor confirmed osteoporosis and started her on the required medicines, along with counseling her on the lifestyle changes she will have to make.

Renal Transplant Specialist in Chennai

Transplantation is a very complicated procedure. Like all surgeries it has some general and some specific challenges. While some of these complications can be avoided, some need to be dealt with post-surgery. Hence, it is always Important to be prepared for the best and the worst when going in for such a complicated surgery. One of the most unfortunate complications include the rejection of the new organ by the body.

The major reason why a person rejects a new organ is because the body's natural immunity realizes that the new organ is a foreign object and refuses to continue carrying normal bodily functions with it. There are mainly three types of rejections: Hyperacute rejection (occurs within a few minutes after the transplant), Acute rejection (can occur any time from the first week to 3 months after the transplant), or Chronic Rejection (can take years to act as the body slowly rejects and damages the new organ).

The trauma of finally receiving a donor and then going through the pain of organ rejection can be very difficult for  a patient. Samar Qureshi, went through this when her body rejected a kidney after a successful surgery. Years later, she found another match and wished to only be treated by the best professional doctor. She asked us to find the best Renal Transplant Specialist in Chennai. She was then scheduled for surgery and went into the operation theater feeling extremely anxious. Thankfully, this time, her body accepted the new organ and now she doesn't need dialysis and is grateful for her new life.

Nephrologist in Kolkata helps with serious case of Pyelonephritis

Urinary Tract Infections, commonly known as UTIs are more common than we would like to believe. These are mostly caused by E.coli that is released from the body with feces. When women use infected washrooms, have diabetes or sometimes engage in sexual activities, they can get an infection in the urethra, resulting in Urinary Tract Infections. These infections, which are common, especially in women, can easily be treated with anti-biotics. However, if left untreated, they could result in various complications, the worst being the infection spreading to the kidneys.

Pyelonephritis refers to an infection caused either by an untreated Urinary Tract Infection or through the bloodstream. This is a serious disease, which if left untreated could lead to kidney failure or prove fatal for the patient.

Medical science has made some major advancements in the last century. While performing and receiving surgeries has become easier and more convenient, the recovery time has also decreased due to lacroscopic surgeries. Another miraculous achievement in the medical world has been the introduction of organ transplantation, including that of heart, kidneys, liver, lungs etc.

Kidney transplantation, like all other procedures has its unique sets of challenges; the main one being finding a donor, which is true for all transplantation procedures. The other major complication being the receiver’s body rejecting the organ for an unexplained reason. Another complication, specific to Renal or Kidney transplantation, is urine leakage from the newly attached organ. In addition to all these, a high blood pressure, existence/development of diabetes and the presence of kidney stones in the donor can also be huge barriers in the way of carrying the procedure successfully.

Credihealth finds Neurosurgeon in Kolkata, saving a young woman's life

The nervous system causes both the voluntary and involuntary actions in a human being's body and consists of two main parts- central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. These comprise of the spinal cord, the brain and nerves that transmit signals to different parts of the body.

The nervous system carries some vital and diverse functions in the human body. The easiest way to understand how the nervous system works is to think of the brain and spinal chord, together, as a computer. This bodily computer of our body enables all the other functions of our body- internal and external. This is the reason that neurological diseases in our bodies need immediate attention, otherwise they have huge negative impact on our bodies.
 The specialists who attend to the diseases, disorders and injuries of the nervous systems are neurologists and neurosurgeons. Finding a good, experienced specialist in this field may be difficult. A research some time ago revealed that India has a shortage neurologists and neurosurgeons, with most of them residing and practicing in Metropolitan cities. That leaves just handful of doctors to attend to people in rural areas and suburbs.

Zahaan Malik who lives with his family in Kolkata, faced a similar issue last month. While his wife, Amani, was driving back from work, she met with a terrible accident. She was immediately taken to the hospital where it was revealed that she had suffered and needed a specialist. The small hospital where she was being treated did not have the right doctor or the required equipment.
