Timely treatment can reduce deaths due to heart disease

Late detection of heart disease is the main cause of heart disease deaths in India. By the time all the patients reach the doctor, it is too late. Experts believe that people who have heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes, or have a history of heart disease in the family, such people, if they are regularly checked, then deaths due to heart diseases Can be avoided

Heart Disease

Dr. Sandeep Seth, Professor of AIIMS, says that 50 percent of the patients who die of heart disease are those who are diagnosed late. Then there are also many patients who do not take medicines prescribed by the doctor. It can also be stopped by making lifestyle changes, but people do not do it.

By the way, being a victim of heart related diseases does not mean that life will end. Patients can lead normal lives with medicines and lifestyle improvements. Dr. Sandeep Mishra, citing the report of THFR, Medanta Registry and Inter-CHF, states that the average age of heart patients in India is lower than the US patients of heart.

According to the THFR report, the age is 61.2 years, 58.9 years according to the Medanta Registry and 56 years according to the Inter-CHF. According to the US ADHERE Registry, the average age of a heart patient there is 72.6 years. If the root causes such as rheumatoid arthritis and high blood pressure are detected and treated in time, the number of deaths from heart-related diseases can be reduced.

Awareness
Needs Sanjay Murdeswar, MD of Novartis in India, says that heart disease can lead to death. The disease follows for a long time. It is estimated that 26 million people worldwide and 8 million to 10 million people in India suffer from the disease. Most people in India are admitted to the hospital because of heart-related diseases. The main reason for this disease is lack of adequate awareness among the people.

As part of this effort, we are working with the Times of India Group to spread awareness about the symptoms and diagnosis of heart related diseases. About 60 percent of heart patients do not receive treatment or are treated incorrectly. Heart patients can be kept away from the hospital due to timely treatment. They can live longer and lead a better life.

Medical science achieved these major achievements in 2019

The year 2019 was a year of achievements for medical science in many ways. There was a lot of work done in both the areas of diagnosis and treatment, due to which there was a ray of hope in the lives of the patients. You and I have been hearing about many of these things for the past several years. Of course no technique, method or treatment in the fields of science and medicine is a day or year achievement. The entire process takes several years. Saying goodbye to this year, learn about some of these special achievements:

Medical Science

The famous French philosopher Voltaire said, “Medicine is the art that entertains the patient until nature recovers him.” Today we have come far ahead of this thing of the 18th century. Now doctors do not look forward to keeping and keeping patients healthy only with the help of nature. They resort to technology for this. The interference of technology in modern medicine is increasing. Today we have come to the era where the difference between man and machine is about to disappear.

Artificial Intelligence will run away from the intelligence of the machine, the disease Sudha has retinopathy of the eyes (retina) problem due to diabetes. After analyzing the photographs of the curtains of thousands of patients like him, an AI machine is telling how much Sudha has retinopathy and what needs to be done for her treatment. Artificial Intelligence is providing efficient services based on algorithms in diagnosing and treating many such diseases.

The doctor is a human being as well as a patient. Till now, humans have understood and treated the disease of humans, in which machines have played only the role of a collaborator. But as Artificial Intelligence (AI) develops, machines will start identifying and treating diseases independently. They will not need the support of any medical educated person or doctor to do these tasks.

Present: So far, doctors have been diagnosing diseases and they also decide the treatment. In both these works, he uses his medical-education and experience.

Future: Machines with artificial intelligence have to learn from a large number of diseases. To catch diseases their patterns have to be identified and then treatment is to be decided. In many tasks, they are gradually becoming equal to human-doctors and they have started doing many things better than them.

Benefits: Ability to diagnose and treat almost like doctors in all areas of medicine. Gradually it will increase further. Then these machines will start working in place of humans.

Drawbacks: Practical use will take time now. Experiments on AI are going on in many diseases. However, the question is that if machines do this, what will happen to the human relationship between doctor and patient? Will the machine be able to provide the human touch during the treatment which gives psychological benefit to the patient at the time of treatment?

Situation in India: Work is underway with Artificial Intelligence in many medical institutes and the results have been encouraging.

Smart medicine will be able to take medicine for sick breath!
Abdul is a asthma patient, but does not want to take an inhaler. They find it more appropriate to control the merge by eating pills while inhaler is effective in 90 percent of asthma patients if used properly. The problem for most patients like Abdul is that they do not know the right way to use inhalers. This is the reason why they find it easier to eat pills taken by mouth.
The problem now is that if Abdul takes oral medications, he will have to take a higher dose. In such a situation, they will be more likely to have side effects of medicines. On the other hand, by using an inhaler, the drug will reach the lungs directly through the breath and thus its side effects will be very less. The good thing is that Abdul now has the option of Bluetooth-enabled smart inhaler. They should learn to use it from a doctor and do not take pills for lung problems. When and at what time the medicine is to be taken from the inhaler, how much is to be taken and whether the previous dose has been taken properly – all these information will reach their smartphone. In this way Abdul Dama will be able to control better.

These ‘superbugs’ can end us if we do not take caution

Everyday, antibiotics are given to countless sick people all over the world. These medicines have proved to be an effective way to fight against many types of bacteria and have been supporting the health of humans for a long time. But in this world of medicines, a lot is happening that common people are unaware of. Because the competition for making one to one strong antibiotics is taking place among pharma companies. One reason for this is also to increase the anti-resistant power of bacteria.

Superbugs

Till now, the antibiotics that we used to believe that after their dose, bacteria have died out from us, our animals or our food, now that dose is not enough for these microorganisms. A recent research has found the presence of many new types of bacteria, on which the old dose of antibiotics does not look as effective as it should. These bacteria are killing large numbers of people every year.

Research by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention revealed that four people die from these new ‘superbugs’ every hour in the United States alone. This report is full of such things related to health, which is very natural to be scared to read. On the basis of the report, it is being said by the experts that there is no doubt that in the coming time antibiotics will become ineffective, examples of this have already started coming. The point to think is that the new technology is still failing to catch many anti-resistance increased by these bacteria.

However, scientists are always working on new antibiotic drugs, which can eliminate any kind of infection. Especially infections and bacteria that are not effective on current medicines. But the development of those new options is often slow and incredibly expensive. According to the CDC, vaccination is the most efficient way to deal with this condition today. Because it keeps our body ready to fight infection before it is born. If we pay serious attention to this, then we will not need antibiotics.
