ADDICTIONS . THE MODERN WORLD

ADDICTIONS 



ADDICTIONS IMAGES க்கான பட முடிவு



We are used to hear that someone close to us is addicted to, say alcohol, cigarette, drugs.

But in the modern world addictions have take several other routes as well.

You may still say, games is one of them.  Seeing movies is another.

But to our surprise, there are other things too.

Like tanning our bodies, exercises which prove dangerous, stimulators.

SHOPPING ! YES. IT IS YET ANOTHER ADDICTION.

Smart Phones, social media is another way how everyone of us is dangerously involved and spend our valuable energy and time mindlessly.

(As I say this, I am afraid that I am not excluded from this addiction.)

Please see this slide presentation and decide for yourself. 

And also make sure that you can get out of this.

FEAR OR PHOBIA !!1


Fear Vs Phobia

Fear is legitimate.  When you can neither fight or flight, fear develops. It is a rational feeling.

But Phobia is different.

Phobia is fear which is irrational and which you know is irrational.

And now and then it affects, triggers in you a fear feeling which you cannot avoid, which you cannot escape.

Several Phobias are there.

And millions and millions suffer.

And quite a number without knowing it could be contained or cured.

If someone says, there is an odour from you .......then.....



Most of US are not aware that
Most of US smell
Not only to others
But also to ourselves.

Again, Most of us do not just bother to know why ?

Your skin, your saliva, your pee, your urine , your sweat
may smell for
reasons quite different.

Again, when you find your relative, your friend smells and you feel it, you hesitate telling them.
You stand assured that you do them good only when you tell them that they smell and they need to take care of themselves.

Most of the odours are not felt by people immediately.

A few may be innocent. Go away when you take plenty of water.
But for a few more you need to consult your physician.

Know When ?

THOSE ACHES AND PAINS that disturb your routine.



Aches and Pains .

in Head, Forehead, Arms, Stomach , why ? suddenly when it appears anywhere in your body,

would you allow it to continue, hoping it would settle sooner ?

or

Rush to a medical shop buy some OTC drugs ?

or

seek the help of a doctor ?

You would naturally feel that it depends on the type of ache and pain and also
its severity.

It would be better to look at this from a physician's point of view


ANTICIPATING A PAIN AND BEING PREPARED FOR IT is one thing.

MANAGING A PAIN is another thing.

ENSURING THE PAIN DOES NOT RECUR is equally important.

Radiation Risk ? Is it worth undergoing these MEDICAL IMAGING TESTS ?


How much is the Radiation Risk when Your Doctor advises U to undergo a medical imaging test. ?

In the last seven decades, I had x rays of my spine, the lumbar portion, x rays of spine the cervical portion, x rays of my ear,nose etc., x rays of my teeth when several of them had to be taken out or root canal treatment done, and again for fitting of dentures,

and recently when the doctor advises me to understand the radiation risk before a CT scan is ordered to find out whether there could be a rectal cancer,

i never possibly knew that even in day  to day life, we consume some 2.5 mSw
but a CT scan can introduce in my cells a cancer risk to the extent of 82 %..

Are there other methods to identify the nature of the diseases one suffers from other than
radiation ?

Having said this,

emergencies may require the right type of information without loss of time.

So if a doctor advises a medical imaging test which requires a CT scan, x ray or a mammogram, please trust the doctor, as he will always have weighed the pros and cons of this test.


But it is important that we must be knowing the risk ourselves,
especially when we are conscious
when we believe we have several more years to live
when we feel that the risk undertaken is much much more than the relief we may get
as a consquence of treatment following the results of the medical imaging tests.

20Hz to 20kHz (Human Audio Spectrum)

Sinusoidal wave going trough entire human audio spectrum, starting at 20Hz and ending at 20kHz. Note that the frequency increases exponentially, the idea was to increase the frequency by constant fraction of currently played frequency rather than by a constant value (which would result in clearly noticeable fast change at lower frequencies and nearly no change at higher frequencies). Enjoy.

Note: This wave has the same volume level measured by acoustic pressure all the time, however human sound perception differs depending on frequency. For lower frequencies (below 1kHz) you might want to increase your volume, but don't forget to lower it later to avoid damage to your hearing. 

If you don't hear anything below 40-50Hz even at full volume your audio hardware is probably incapable of playing lowest frequencies. You might want to try to listen on the headphones in such case. Also if you stop hearing sound somewhere between 10kHz - 20kHz - do not increase your volume for safety reasons. Every human hears a bit differently and have different hearing thresholds. Hearing range also changes with age. Younger people can usually hear higher frequencies.

For HD (High Definition) version of this test, which might yield better audio quality see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-iCZE...

Locked-in Syndrome

MEDICAL ETHICS

AN ARTICLE BY SANJAY CHOPRA

COURTESY:


http://www.medpagetoday.com/PublicHealthPolicy/Ethics/57625?xid=nl_mpt_guptaguide_2016-05-02&eun=g5878848d10r
In the dark lecture room, I watched the neurologist's shadow flicker across the only source of light – a projection of the New York City subway map. He pointed at Times Square station. If the subway system were a brainstem, then Times Square would be the pons, transporting vital signals like breathing, speaking, and swallowing.
He likened the station's abrupt destruction to a stroke producing locked-in syndrome. Writer Jean-Dominique Bauby describes the condition in his memoir, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: "Paralyzed from head to toe, the patient, his mind intact, is imprisoned inside his own body, unable to speak or move. In my case, blinking my left eyelid is my only means of communication."

Turning toward his medical student audience, the neurologist asked, "Would you choose to live or die if you had locked-in syndrome? If you'd rather live, raise your hand."
As I pondered his question, my thoughts drifted toa case unfurling on the national stage. Julianna Snow, a 5-year-old girl with a severe form of the neurodegenerative disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome, was asked a similar question by her mother and neurologist Michelle Moon, MD. Julianna chose heaven over hospital.
I glanced around the crowded room. I was the only one with my hand raised.
While I'm not afraid of death, I'm troubled by the bias about what constitutes a life worth living. A 2015 study on locked-in syndrome showed that medical providers and families underestimate quality of life and inappropriately advocate for less aggressive care. However, those with locked-in syndrome often live for decades with a comparable quality of life to nondisabled people and most do not demand euthanasia. Access to devices like tubes for breathing and feeding, wheelchairs, and computer voice prostheticsenhance autonomy and quality of life.
This counters the pervasive bias that a disabled life is a life of suffering, a life not worth living. Suffering is universal and certainly not limited to those with disabilities. People aren't as disabled by their condition as they are by the world they inhabit. While the United States Social Security Administration defines disability as "inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity [due to] medically determinable physical or mental impairment(s)," it's access that defines disability.

I'm not considered disabled or "glasses-bound" even though my uncorrected vision is abysmal beyond two feet. But someone who uses a wheelchair, like Julianna, is considered disabled or "wheelchair-bound." If corrective lenses didn't exist, would I be disabled? If every vehicle and building were wheelchair-accessible, would wheelchair users be able?
Instead of viewing disability as something to eliminate, we should appreciate it as a normal part of the human experience which addsvaluable perspective. In doing so, we can focus on the real civil rights issue of accessibility and create a better world for everyone – regardless of disability.
Rather than view people with disabilities as defective, we should recognize our world as defective. Of noninstitutionalized adults, 12.6% reported a disability and 28.2% live below poverty. People with disabilities face significantly more obstacles in daily life. Over time, they've been withheld medical careforced to live in state institutions with inhumane conditions, excluded from public educationdenied jobs, prevented from voting, andinvoluntarily sterilized.
Given these inequities, the fight for assisted suicide is incomplete because it creates the illusion of choice. How can one truly choose death when one doesn't have access to existing resources that allow for a dignified life? The right to die and right to live are both important struggles for autonomy. But for people with disabilities, there can be no autonomy without the right to live with assistance.
In Julianna's case, these biases could have fatal consequences. As CNN senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen and People Magazine senior writer Nicole Weisensee Egan portray it:

You're Julianna, a 5-year-old girl "dying from an incurable, degenerative neuromuscular disease" that "robbed" you of the "ability to walk, eat or even breathe." You hate "lengthy and torturous stay[s]" in the hospital where you're subject to "painful medical interventions." If you survive another cold, doctors say you'll be "sedated on a respirator with very little quality of life." Your parents say hospitals "may help you get better and let you ... spend more time with [family]." They say heaven means you'll "be able to run and play and eat" and meet God, who loves you very much.
Now, let's reframe it:
You're Julianna, a 5-year-old girl living with progressive neuromuscular disease. Like other chronic, incurable diseases such as diabetes or asthma, you can manage symptoms with medical interventions. Some, like nasotracheal suctioning, are unpleasant. Eventually, you may need a quick procedure to cut a small hole in your neck so a respirator can breathe for you. These planned tracheostomies have been shown to improve physical health and performance of activities of daily living. Many people with tracheostomies talk and eat – some like Sarah Glerup even sing competitively on "The X-Factor."
Given the choice, would you rather live or die? Would you choose heaven over hospital?
I ask these questions not to pass judgment, but to challenge our thinking about disability. Of course, these questions aren't simply thought experiments – they're people's lives. I can't imagine how it must feel to be in such a difficult position. Dr. Moon's decision to put her daughter's experience on the national stage is bold, and more of these stories should be shared.

Dr. Moon touched on a critical point when she told People that "one of the reasons we're continuing to share our story is to make the world a safer place for parents who care for and love terminally ill children." But it's not enough. We need to make the world a safer place for people with disabilities by elevating their voices, which are seldom heard in mainstream media.
Dear Julianna, a Neuromuscular Disabilities United letter-writing campaign, breaks that silence. President Emily Wolinsky, who has spinal muscular atrophy, said that while Dear Julianna was inspired by Julianna, its purpose is broader: "To educate ... about life with a neuromuscular disability (NMD), and to showcase thousands of individuals with NMD living happy and wonderful lives." To protect the Snows, Wolinsky, 38, declines letters that reference the family or pass judgment on their decision.
Contributors have written about thriving despite dire prognoses; adapting to disease progression; experiencing interventions like nasotracheal suctioning, surgery, tracheostomies, respirators, and catheters; even marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth.
If anything, Drs. Moon and Wolinsky agree that life with a disability can be profoundly isolating for caregivers and people with disabilities alike. But it doesn't have to be that way. We need not be the only ones with our hands raised in a dark room.

Watch how we put your braces on!

Three months ago, my son-in-law decided that the irregular teeth of his son now 12 could be considered for braciers.

 It was not a difficult task for me to find out and fix an appointment with a ortho dentist for this purpose, as I was already familiar with ARUDHRA DENTAL CLINIC

 where two good dentists, husband wife, work together as a team, at two different clinics one at Saligram and another at Virugampakkam.  Their professional competence should be simply seen and observed to be believed.

 At these clinics, the first thing that appeals a new comer is the hygiene as well as the courtesy as also the data bank assiduously developed by Dr.Shankar Guhan MDS and Dr.Sangeetha MDS ably assisted by Dr.Krishnapriya BDS.

 Both the dentists are particular not only about the cleanliness of the environment aspect but also make sure that the instruments are sterilised immediately on attending a patient. This was the one which appealed to me most when between 1996 and 2001 I was running from pillar to post to find out a dentist with sterlised instruments.

 Sterilisation of instruments should be a rule rather than an exception at every dentist's office. But unfortunately this aspect is most neglected in several of the clinics. And during one of my visits to another clinic in 1997 or so for pulling an errant tooth, the dentist told me that he had to care more rather the patient, since, while attending to every patient's teeth, he actually increases his vulnerability to severe infections like hepatitis -B not to talk of HIV

. At this Arudhra Dental Clinic, I can say with confidence that any and every patient is treated with particular care and more than that he is being followed up also. This follow-up and feed-back is woefully absent in our country, but which is a must in other developed countries.

 The doctor ought to know whether his line of treatment worked and his patient fully recovered or not. But in India no clinic to my knowledge advises the patients to call on them after a week or so, when the drugs prescribed period is over by telephone at least to inform them .

 In one of the famous Corporate hospitals, they use a feed back form. But to my shock they get it signed by the patient while he is being discharged. I once refused to sign a form as it was totally blank and the officer told me that she would take the trouble of filling it and I need not worry about that.

 ARUDHRA DENTAL CLINIC falls in a different category altogether. 
 I trust them AND THIS TRUST HAS SPRUNG OUT OF MY OWN EXPERIENCE WITH WHAT THEY DO. 

 HERE,

YOU SEE A VIDEO HOW BRASIERS ARE FIXED FOR IRREGULAR TEETH. (NOT TAKEN FROM THIS CLINIC THOUGH)

RECOGNIZE DEPRESSION

“Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.” 
― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow



DEPRESSION masks itself in different ways.

One may have back ache, migraine or fatigue.

A few people do not have sleep or sleep for longer duration with eyes shut up.

We see several men and women suffer from diarrohoea, dyspepsia, signs of nausea, etc.
without any proper reason.

CYCLE OF DEPRESSION.


Understanding Depression is therefore essential.
