Medicare is the US government health insurance program for those aged 65 and older. It covers hospital stays, doctors visits, prescription drugs, and other services, but has gaps in coverage and costs that many Democrats want to address in their healthcare proposals. While Medicare benefits are comprehensive, it does not cover services like dental, vision, and long-term nursing home care. It also has premiums, deductibles, and co-payments that can be costly for beneficiaries with high medical expenses. Democrats debate expanding coverage and reducing costs through various proposals like a public option or allowing people to buy into Medicare at earlier ages.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are becoming increasingly resistant to antibiotic treatments, rendering common drugs ineffective. This is problematic as UTIs affect millions annually and were once easily treated. Researchers are finding that food, particularly poultry, may be a vector for transmitting antibiotic-resistant bacteria that cause UTIs. With few treatment options remaining, UTIs are becoming more severe and difficult to cure.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.

Prostate Cancer:
Symptoms, Risk
Factors, Treatments
Prostate cancer growth influences the prostate gland, the gland that
delivers a portion of the liquid in semen and assumes a job in pee control in
men.
The prostate organ is situated beneath the bladder and before the rectum.
2. Article Published by Root India Healthcare Limited | http://www.rihl.in as on 9th
August 2019
In the United States (U.S.), it is the most common cancer in men, however, it
is likewise treatable whenever found in the beginning periods.
In 2017, the American Cancer Society predicts that there will be
around 161,360 new judgments of prostate malignancy and that around
26,730 fatalities will happen as a result of it.
Standard testing is critical as the malignancy should be analyzed before
metastasis.
Fast facts on prostate cancer:
Here are some key focuses on prostate cancer growth. More detail is in the
primary article.
The prostate organ is a piece of the male regenerative framework.
Prostate disease is the most well-known malignant growth in men.
It is treatable whenever analyzed right on time before it spreads.
In the event that side effects show up, they incorporate issues with
pee.
Normal screening Is the most ideal approach to distinguish it in a
great time.
Side effects
Prostate disease is the most well-known malignant growth influencing
men.
There are normally no side effects during the beginning periods of prostate
disease. Be that as it may, if side effects do show up, they more often than
not include at least one of the accompanying:
regular inclinations to pee, including around evening time
trouble starting and looking after pee
blood in the pee
agonizing pee and, less normally, discharge
trouble accomplishing or keeping up an erection might be
troublesome
Propelled prostate malignant growth can include the accompanying
indications:
bone agony, frequently in the spine, femur, pelvis, or ribs

bone cracks
In the event that the disease spreads to the spine and packs the
spinal line, there might be:
leg shortcoming
urinary incontinence
fecal incontinence
Treatment
Treatment is distinctive for right on time and propelled prostate
tumors.
Beginning period prostate malignant growth
On the off chance that the malignant growth is little and confined, it is
normally overseen by one of the accompanying medications:
Vigilant pausing or observing: PSA blood levels are normally checked,
however, there is no prompt activity. The danger of reactions once in a
while exceeds the requirement for quick treatment for this moderate
creating malignant growth.
Radical prostatectomy:
The prostate is precisely expelled. The customary medical procedure
requires an emergency clinic remain of as long as 10 days, with a
recuperation time of as long as 3 months. Automated keyhole medical
procedure includes a shorter hospitalization and recuperation period,
however, it very well may be progressively costly. Patients ought to
address their back up a plan about inclusion.
Brachytherapy:
Radioactive seeds are embedded into the prostate to convey focused on
radiation treatment.
Conformal radiation treatment:
Radiation shafts are formed with the goal that the district where they cover
is as near a similar shape as the organ or locale that requires treatment.
This limits solid tissue introduction to radiation.
Force regulated radiation treatment: Beams with variable power are
utilized. This is a propelled type of conformal radiation treatment.
In the beginning periods, patients may get radiation treatment joined with
hormone treatment for 4 to a half year.
4. Article Published by Root India Healthcare Limited | http://www.rihl.in as on 9th
August 2019
Treatment proposals rely upon individual cases. The patient should talk
about every accessible alternative with their urologist or oncologist.
Propelled prostate malignancy
Propelled malignancy is progressively forceful and will have spread further
all through the body.
Chemotherapy may be suggested, as it can slaughter malignancy cells
around the body.
Androgen hardship treatment (ADT), or androgen concealment treatment,
is a hormone treatment that decreases the impact of androgen. Androgens
are male hormones that can invigorate malignancy development. ADT can
back off and even stop malignancy development by decreasing androgen
levels.
The patient will probably need long-term hormone treatment.
Regardless of whether the hormone treatment quits working inevitably,
there might be different alternatives. Investment in clinical preliminaries is
one alternative that a patient may wish to examine with the specialist.
Radical prostatectomy isn't right now a possibility for cutting edge cases, as
it does not treat the malignant growth that has spread to different pieces of
the body.
Fruitfulness
As the prostate is straightforwardly associated with sexual propagation,
evacuating it affects semen creation and fruitfulness.
Radiation treatment influences the prostate tissue and regularly diminishes
the capacity to father kids. The sperm can be harmed and the semen
deficient for moving sperm.
Non-careful choices, as well, can seriously repress a man's conceptive limit.
Choices for saving these capacities can incorporate giving to a sperm bank
before a medical procedure, or having sperm removed legitimately from
the balls for manual semen injection into an egg. Notwithstanding, the
achievement of these alternatives is never ensured.
5. Article Published by Root India Healthcare Limited | http://www.rihl.in as on 9th

Patients with prostate malignant growth can address a richness specialist
on the off chance that regardless they mean to father youngsters.
What causes prostate malignant growth?
The prostate is a pecan estimated exocrine organ. This implies its liquids
and discharges are planned for use outside of the body.
The prostate creates the liquid that feeds and transports sperm on their
voyage to intertwine with a female ovum, or egg, and produce human life.
The prostate contracts and powers these liquids out during climax.
The protein discharged by the prostate, prostate-explicit antigen (PSA),
enables semen to hold its fluid state. An overabundance of this protein in
the blood is one of the main indications of prostate malignancy.
The urethra is tube through which sperm and pee leave the body. It
likewise goes through the prostate.
In that capacity, the prostate is additionally in charge of pee control. It can
fix and limit the progression of pee through the urethra utilizing a great
many minor muscle filaments.
How can it begin?
It more often than not begins in the glandular cells. This is known as
adenocarcinoma. Minor changes happen in the shape and size of the
prostate organ cells, known as prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN).
This will, in general, happen gradually and does not indicate manifestations
until further into the movement.
Nearly 50 percent of all men beyond 50 years old years have pinned. High-
grade PIN is considered pre-harmful, and it requires further examination.
Second rate PIN isn't a reason for concern.
The prostate disease can be effectively treated on the off chance that it is
analyzed before metastasis, yet on the off chance that it spreads, it is
progressively perilous. It most commonly spreads to the bones.
Stages
6. Article Published by Root India Healthcare Limited | http://www.rihl.in as on 9th

Arranging considers the size and degree of the tumor and the size of the
metastasis (regardless of whether it has headed out to different organs and
tissues).
At Stage 0, the tumor has neither spread from the prostate organ nor
attacked profoundly into it. At Stage 4, the disease has spread to removed
destinations and organs.
Conclusion
A specialist will complete a physical assessment and enquire about any
progressing restorative history. On the off chance that the patient has side
effects, or if a standard blood test indicates anomalous high PSA
levels, further examinations may be mentioned.
Imaging sweeps can show and track the nearness of prostate disease.
Tests may include:
a computerized rectal assessment (DRE), in which a specialist will
physically check for any variations from the norm of the prostate
with their finger
