As the rates of obesity increase, so do the medical problems caused and exacerbated by this physical state. For many, traditional methods of weight loss have proven ineffective for achieving and maintaining significant weight reduction. Bariatric surgery (ie, laparoscopic gastric banding, gastric bypass) offers these patients the opportunity to experience significant weight loss that can be maintained. The number of obese patients seeking bariatric surgery is steadily rising. But, unlike traditional diets for which risks are low and discontinuation can occur at any time, bariatric surgery has inherent risks and requires highly restrictive, long-term behavioral changes afterwards. Therefore, these patients typically are required to complete a thorough evaluation, including psychological assessment, to determine their appropriateness for surgery.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric Bypass.
Many people suffer from Sciatica, but they don’t know what is it? They mainly confuse it with normal muscle pain. But the case is much different. They should know the symptoms, causes, and prevention to deal with the disease.However, if the cases continue to get worse, one should immediately consult to Orthopedician.
Uterine Fibroids are a common disease in women. It is characterized by the growth of uterus. Fibroids can result due to various reasons. It is better to diagnose fibroids in the early stage so that you can omit the surgical options.
Gastric Banding is a type of bariatric surgery. This surgery involves inserting the external instrument. You have to follow the instruction before the surgery to get recovered quickly. Always consult your doctor about the risks before the procedure.
The short circuit that causes a heart attack.Jia Maheshwari
What happens when you get a heart attack? It could be either a disease of the valves or akin to a short circuit, where there are spikes or less elasticity, calcification or thickening of walls etc. Knowing about heart abnormalities can help you take care of your heart better.
Malnutrition and you – as quoted by your liverJia Maheshwari
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)can also occur in a person who has not touched a drop of alcohol. Unbelievable, but science has proved that liver can be affected even among non-drinkers. So, one needs to be aware of risk factors such as obesity, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, diabetes and PCOS to mention a few.
You can’t always outsmart cancer. But to creep up again and again, when you think you’ve overcome it. Round 1, you are able to fight it. Round 2, you manage to do so again. But repeatedly and relentlessly, when it keeps attacking your cells, this deadly ailment can gnaw away into your body and morale.
Look pregnant & heavy periods? Could be fibroids.Jia Maheshwari
Not much is known about uterine fibroids, despite the havoc they cause – from difficulty in conceiving, heavy bleeding, severe abdominal pain to frequent urination and pain during sex, miscarriage, premature labour et al. However, most fibroids do not require treatment and in cases which do treatment ranges from medication to hysterectomy.
Will someone from the family gift your child their liver?Jia Maheshwari
Never say never - never lose hope. You never know when a liver donor will be found and be a blessing for your family member suffering from end stage liver disease. But a lot of caution and care is required to guard against increasing instances of post surgery complications such as ones related to the biliary tract.
Moderate drinking too can cause a miserable liver.Jia Maheshwari
What places senior citizens, diabetics and the obese at the highest risk of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD)? Why does it occur even among those people who drink extremely low quantities of alcohol or don’t drink at all. The quest is on to find the answers.
Bone marrow transplant-some facts to know.Jia Maheshwari
With many advances and techonological progress bone marrow transplants are a feasible option and provide much needed hope, comfort and relief to the families of patients.
Fibroids may run in the family. What about hormones?Jia Maheshwari
Causes of fibroids aren’t yet known, but family history could predispose you to suffer this painful condition. It couldbe hormonal too. Early diagnosis through an ultrasound can significantly help, so have heavy menstrual bleeding and cramps checked out asap.
Weather it is a or b hepatitis it is a severe infection of the liver and needs prompt medical attention. A change in the lifestyle with adequate rest and nutritious diet can also help significantly along with early diagnosis and medication.
Stop hunger, slow down diabetes with bariatric surgery.Jia Maheshwari
It sounds like a magic wand but the expertise of a bariatric surgeon can help many diabetics live fulfilling lives with controlled sugar levels and lowering the risks and complications associated with diabetes.
Sports stressing out your knee? ACL may be the answer.Jia Maheshwari
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is susceptible to sports injuries and when torn can be replaced by your orthopedic surgeon with another segment from your knee.
The thing with uterine fibroids is that many a time they are detected, incidentally. But there are several forms of treatment and surgery is recommended only as the last resort.
The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
