What is stress? Stress is a part of being alive. A total absence of stress can be achieved only in death. Stress is the "wear and tear" our minds and bodies experience.
Stress occurs when the pressure is greater than the resource. 80% of all modern diseases originate from 'stress'.
"Stress Management" is the art of taking care of oneself. So, become aware of your stressors and your physical and emotional reactions.
Our aim is not to eliminate stress but to learn how to manage and use it to help us.

Stress is a natural feeling of not being able to cope with specific demands and events. However, It’s natural and normal to be stressed sometimes but long-term stress can cause physical symptoms, emotional symptoms and unhealthy behaviors.
"Decoding Pain: "Decoding Pain: An In-Depth Explorationzeeshan63861
Pain presentation is a complex phenomenon that can be characterized by various factors. One crucial aspect is the location of the pain, indicating where in the body the discomfort is localized. Whether it's in a specific joint, muscle, organ, or more diffuse, understanding the precise location is fundamental for diagnosis and treatment planning. This information serves as a starting point for healthcare professionals to narrow down potential causes and formulate an appropriate approach.
The intensity of pain provides another essential dimension for assessment. It is often helpful to use a pain scale, ranging from mild to moderate to severe. This subjective measure, combined with the patient's description, aids in gauging the impact of the pain on daily life. Intensity is a subjective experience, and patients may use various descriptors such as aching, stabbing, burning, or throbbing to convey the nature of their discomfort.
The quality of pain, or how it feels, further refines the understanding of the issue. Descriptors like sharp, dull, stabbing, or throbbing contribute to a more nuanced portrayal. This information can assist healthcare professionals in differentiating between types of pain, such as neuropathic, inflammatory, or mechanical, guiding them toward targeted interventions and management strategies.
Duration is a critical factor in pain assessment, distinguishing between acute and chronic pain. Acute pain is sudden and often associated with a specific incident or injury, while chronic pain persists over an extended period, often lasting beyond the expected healing time. Understanding the temporal aspect of pain helps in developing appropriate treatment plans, considering the underlying causes and potential complications associated with prolonged discomfort.
The onset of pain and any triggering factors provide valuable context. Knowing when the pain began and if there are specific events or activities that precede it can offer insights into the potential causes. This information is particularly relevant in cases of musculoskeletal or overuse injuries, where identifying and addressing the root cause is essential for effective management.
The radiation of pain to other areas is a common feature that contributes to the complexity of its presentation. Pain may not be confined to the initial site of discomfort; it can spread or radiate to adjacent or distant areas. Understanding the pattern of radiation aids in localizing the source of the pain and determining whether it is related to nerve compression, referred pain, or other mechanisms.
Aggravating and relieving factors play a crucial role in understanding the dynamics of pain. Identifying activities or circumstances that worsen or alleviate the pain provides essential information for both diagnosis and management. For instance, certain movements or positions may exacerbate musculoskeletal pain, while rest or specific interventions may offer relief.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Anti ulcer drugs and their Advance pharmacology ||
Anti-ulcer drugs are medications used to prevent and treat ulcers in the stomach and upper part of the small intestine (duodenal ulcers). These ulcers are often caused by an imbalance between stomach acid and the mucosal lining, which protects the stomach lining.
||Scope: Overview of various classes of anti-ulcer drugs, their mechanisms of action, indications, side effects, and clinical considerations.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
