Successful Surgery of 104 years old woman

Successful Surgery done by Dr Dr Sanjay Gupta to 104 years old woman

When Mateshwari Devi age 104 was admitted to the hospital then it was thought that surgery at such an advance age would be very difficult. She had a fracture in her ball joint and to perform surgery on it meant inviting other ailments to crop up in the body. Also in her earlier tests she was also diagnosed for bronchial asthma. In this scenario there is a chance of organ failure during surgery. Along with it she also had problems of hyper thyroid, kidney and a smaller spinal cord.

But Dr Sanjay Gupta and his team came forward for this and counseled the lady’s family for the same. It was certainly a challenging task as they were all operating on a patient of such an advanced age for the first time.

They did a mock drill with the team. When they were about to start the surgery the thought in doctors mind was that if everything went all right then the surgery would be completed in an hour but when it was started it was successful completed in half an hour. A gold medalist from Agra medical college Dr Sanjay Gupta has successfully completed more than 500 knee replacement surgery operations in last 14 years. More than 30 of his research papers have been published in national and international journals. Dr Gupta has studied in Guna in MP and Korba and his wife is also a doctor and IVF specialist.

Hypertension Patients have higher danger of Coronary Heart Diseases

45% heart ailments related deaths are due to hypertension

According to WHO around 1 crore 70 lakhs deaths occur each year due to cardiovascular diseases which is 1/3 of total death toll in the world. Around 45% of heart diseases are due to hypertension. The BP depends on how much amount of blood the heart pumps and if there is any blockage in the arterial flow of blood. The BP mercury is measured in mmhg and for 20 years and above adults it should be 120/80 normally. Systolic BP is written first as 120 and diastolic is written after it as 80.

Systolic BP – When the heart beats to pump blood.

Diastolic BP – Pressure between two heartbeats. This confirms how strongly and efficiently the artery is controlling the blood flow.

Diagnosis and Symptoms – If the BP reading comes around 140/90 or above or comes different at different times with variations then it is termed as High BP. Most people don’t have any symptoms of high BP. Some people have headaches and vertigo's in the starting stage of high BP. Hypertension is one of the dangers which can lead to coronary artery disease or CAD. It occurs due to fat and wax deposits in arteries. This makes the coronary artery harder and blocked due to non uniformity. Diabetes is also a big cause of heart diseases it affects the arteries badly and makes it narrow. This can lead to high BP and if left untreated can cause damage to blood vessels and cause a stroke.

Angioplasty is a good treatment for blocked arteries. Nowadays new generation Drug eluting stents like resolute integrity is available which can easily navigate in circular and narrow arteries. For diabetes patients the US FDA approved drug eluting stent is the only option.

Question about antibiotics

Diagnosis must be mentioned in Doctor’s Prescription

The doctors need to quote the diagnosis in the medical slip to make it clear that it’s a bacterial infection whenever they prescribe antibiotics to patients. This will curb the effects of antibiotic resistance in the body. There are other factors to be taken care of as follows -

Cancer and other diseases would be investigated by just a drop of blood

According to new research Surgery ray and CT scans costly procedures will lose their monopoly importance

Until now blood tests used to reveal the amount of cholesterol choked up in our arteries or the proper number of vitamins and hormones present in our body. But now, according to a new research all that was just the tip of an iceberg when it comes to gauging medical information hidden in our blood. According to researchers the 5.7 liters of blood flowing in a human body is the perfect source of all medical information and about any ailments or diseases. Each drop of our blood has the blueprint of our present and future medical condition. Doctors would be able to diagnose human plasma’s special compound which is the first one to signal any changes medically in our body.

Cancer and other diseases would be investigated by just a drop of blood

According to the DNA Medicine Institutes’ CEO Dr. Ujeen Chan, “Blood’s data is 10 to 100 times more interesting than genomes. Dr Chan’s institute is working on finding diseases like Alzheimer, cancer, sclerosis etc through a testing procedure from just one drop of blood. According to Chan in near future blood test would be the best source to find out about breast cancer than mammograms and also it would give Alzheimer’s primary symptoms early on. If this present ongoing research is successful, then it would be a big breakthrough in the field of medical science.

Those medical conditions for which surgery or radiation imaging (ct scan, x-ray etc) is required would be done easily through blood tests. So it would be no surprise of blood related diagnostic tests reach the number of 1744 trillion INR by the year 2018. Brigham and women’s hospital declared in June that they have embarked on the discovery of thousands of viruses through viral infection by blood tests. This also throws light on new avenues for blood decoding cancer research. At present cancer tumor’s discovery procedures are simpler prevalent methods of growth on body or scars etc. But by this procedure in most cases the ailment increases so much at later stages that treatment becomes difficult. The new upcoming blood tests would work as liquid biopsies. The tumor’s active genetic pieces come into the blood stream and these can be developed through photo images for studies. This would help doctors to know of any cancerous growth well before hand and would activate the treatment well in time. Though this is not as easy as it sounds as cancerous cells grow through normal cells only so tumor’s DNA is a hard task to be separated from a normal cell.

Brain hemorrhage cases -Headaches Caes

Brain hemorrhage cases age comes down to 30 years

Headaches are a common ailment nowadays. But the same headache can be fatal too, if converted to unconsciousness and brain stroke. These two symptoms should be investigated urgently. Brain stroke can be hemorrhaged or non hemorrhaged. Headcahes, Hoarse voice and paralysis are primary symptoms of non - hemorrhage.

This happens due to blockage of blood artery to the head. If the primary symptoms are known then the patient should be admitted to the hospital within three hours. Paralysis occurs when an artery gets blocked and blood flow stops in non hemorrhage cases. It also occurs when there is a sudden headache with lowering of conscious levels. Nowadays brain hemorrhage cases of up to 30 years are seen. Stress and hypertension can cause swelling in the arteries and if the cluster of artery bursts, then it can cause brain hemorrhage. If you get recurrent headaches and painkillers don’t seem to work, then get checked up with a doctor immediately.

Why do headaches occur in old age?

The brain gets shrunk in size in old age that makes a little bit of stumbling into something develop into strong headaches. Unconsciousness along with headaches can also be symptoms of hemorrhage. Our body always alerts us towards any oncoming disease. We should listen and understand these symptoms and not be our own doctors.

Exercises for fitness of Nervous system

Brain tumor is becoming a mainstream problem. Tumors can be cancerous or non cancerous. Tumor cases have been on an increase in children too. But the main reason of cancer has not been found yet. We should take care of our nervous system as it is the processor of our body. If the body is fit, then the nervous system would also be healthy.

Any exercise, yoga or walk can be taken up regularly for physical fitness, but care should be taken to not get too tired. One should exercise as per our body capacity. As per SR Dhakar, Neurosurgeon retired principal Sms College, “I keep myself busy to remain fit and go for regular walks at the age of 69.”
