A BMC nurse gifted herself a healthy life by having diabetes surgery on her 50th birthday
For the past 2–3 years, Ms. VK’s diabetes has been uncontrolled even though she was on regular medications including insulin. A 50-year-old BMC nurse was struggling to manage her sugar and diet. During the last week of December 2022, Ms. VK decided to undergo diabetes surgery at Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central. Dr. Ramen Goel, Director, of Diabetes and Bariatric Surgery at Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central, said, “Ms. Veena came to Wockhardt Hospital with a history of uncontrolled diabetes. She is a healthcare worker& was taking five diabetes medicines, including insulin, even then her pre-surgery fasting sugars were around 240, post-meal sugars were more than 400 and her 3-month HbA1c was 15. She approached us for diabetes surgery as she was desperate to control her diabetes and lead a healthy life. She met all criteria for surgical intervention and was operated on in the last week of December. Post-surgery, she went off insulin on the 3rd day and her blood sugar now varies between 100-200 with just 1-2 tablets daily. The surgery indeed plays a crucial role in controlling the sugar levels in suitable patients.” He further added, “According to the published data, after surgery, over 80% of diabetes patients have good sugar control and do not require medicines. And even after 10 years, 36% of these patients continue to maintain their blood sugar levels without medicines. This surgery has shown significant reduction in diabetes complications like brain strokes, kidney failure, eye problems, heart attacks, etc.” Ms. V K said, “In January 2023, it was my 50th birthday. I wanted to lead a healthy life after 50; hence, I decided to undergo the surgery. After the surgery, I stopped the insulin completely. A few days later my sugar levels are already much better. I am on just 1-2 diabetes tablets. It’s now 40-45 days post-surgery but I have full confidence that in the next few months, my diabetes will go away completely. Within such a short time, I already feel fit, and fresh and can climb stairs without breathing difficulty. I am very grateful to Wockhardt Hospital and Dr. Goel for giving me new lease of life.” Diabetes(metabolic) surgery, a minimally invasive procedure stimulates a gut hormone release, which in turn reduces insulin resistance. This restores the function of the body’s own insulin thus maintaining blood sugar levels after eating. After diabetes surgery, the effect on the blood sugar is seen within days and now is considered an effective diabetes therapy. International Diabetes Federation(IDF), American Diabetes Association(ADA), and most surgical associations(IFSO, ASMBS, OSSI, etc) have recommended the surgery in over 27.5 BMI Asian patients with uncontrolled diabetes. ‘Surgery not only helps control blood sugar, reduce/stop diabetes medicines, reduce related complications but has been shown to increase lifespan by 5 to 9 years,’ said Dr. Goel.

Anxiety May Cause Numbness or Tingling Sensation
If you’ve ever had tingling or numbness in your body and you also tend to be anxious in general, you must know that they are linked. Typically, when we discuss the signs and symptoms of anxiety, we mean the mental state in which a person may experience a feeling of fear, worry, concern, uneasiness, or panic. You should be aware that anxiety is a condition that is not bound to only mental health. It may also pose a risk to your physical well-being because it sets off a fight-or-flight response in your nervous system. One such reaction is anxiety numbness or tingling sensation in the body. HealthShots got in touch with Dr. Pavan Pai, Consultant Interventional Neurologist, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road, Mumbai, to understand anxiety numbness in detail. Can Anxiety Cause Numbness or Tingling Sensation? Anxiety can cause you to experience numbness and tingling at any time, and it can stay with you for a prolonged period of time. It generally feels like your body is buzzing, shaking, or vibrating. It can affect any part of your body, especially your feet, hands, fingers, arms, legs, or toes. When someone experiences numbness and a tingling feeling, they may experience a panic attack as a result, which may cause them to feel even more numb and anxious. Can you Control or Stop Numbness and Tingling? While some people only experience these sensations when they move their hands, feet, arms, or legs, others experience them consistently and independently. Dr. Pai says, “There isn’t much we can do to prevent these symptoms from occurring because they often arise unintentionally and involuntarily. The sensations may be infrequent, regular, or chronic. However, some people might be able to control this sensation by relaxing or by tightening and relaxing their muscles.” Keep in mind that you rarely have control over this. How Does Anxiety Cause Numbness and Tingling Sensations? There could be many reasons behind anxiety-related numbness and tingling sensations. Here, we’re discussing the 3 top causes of anxiety numbness: 1. Side effects of anxiety medication Buzzing in the extremities can be a side effect of several medications, including popular psychiatric drugs (anti-anxiety, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, etc.). Any of these symptoms should be discussed with your doctor, who can then adjust your medication to assist you to stop having those symptoms. 2. Chronic stress A few signs of chronic stress include trembling, shaking, and body vibration. You may even experience your heart racing. To manage your physical symptoms in such a situation, try to take deep breaths and relax. 3. Side effects of stress hormones Your neurological system suffers as a result of your anxious behavior, which triggers the stress reaction that can cause numbness and stiff muscles. According to Dr. Pai, hormones and nerves have a direct impact on muscles, and if either one or both of these systems are dysfunctional, it might result in mild to moderate sensations in your body. Takeaway The buzzing feeling brought on by anxiety is still being studied by specialists. It is thought to have something to do with how hormones react to long-term and consistent stress in your body. The most effective strategy to halt the feelings is to deal with your anxiety. If you have concerns about anxiety symptoms, always consult a doctor. Make sure you are not causing yourself more worry by researching all of your symptoms and convincing yourself you have the worst possible condition.

Do Not Ignore Repeated Upper Abdominal Pain: 30 Stones Removed From A Woman’s Bile Duct
A 30-year-old woman was admitted to a Mumbai hospital with a complaint of pain in her abdomen, which she had been going through for the last 7-8 days. She also had jaundice. She was given some symptomatic treatment by the local doctors she had visited earlier, but her pain and fever worsened. As her condition deteriorated, she was admitted to Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central, where doctors found multiple stones in her gallbladder and a duct (common bile duct) coming out of the gallbladder. “Any jaundice should at least get an ultrasound exam done along with liver function test,” said Dr. Shankar Zanwar, Consultant Gastroenterologist at Wockhardt Hospital, pointing out that the woman’s condition could have not worsened had she been evaluated earlier. The patient Bhavika Parekh (name changed) said, “Initially the pain was mild as I was taking the jaundice medicines but later the pain aggravated in the epigastric and umbilical region.” When she was admitted to Wockhardt Hospital, she was having nausea, vomiting, intermittent fever with chill, weakness, and giddiness for the past 2 days along with abdomen pain. A total of 30 stones were removed from her bile duct The doctors found her bile duct to be packed with moderate-sized stones (ranging from 8-9mm each). After taking her for endoscopic bile duct removal, they removed a total of 30 stones by endoscopy procedure called ERCP. “To best of our knowledge based on the published literature this is the maximum number of stones removed from the bile duct using ERCP in the region,” Dr. Zanwar said. If the procedure was delayed further, the woman would have landed into sepsis which spread to high-level infection in the bloodstream resulting in low blood pressure and the need for ICU admission or pancreatitis which again can be a serious situation, the doctor noted. “Removal of moderate-sized, multiple stones in the CBD is a complex ERCP procedure which needs proper pre-procedure planning and patients need to be counseled regards to post-procedure complications,” he added. Having repeated symptoms of upper abdominal pain? Get evaluated early Dr. Mehdi Kazerouni, Consultant General Surgeon & Laparoscopic Surgeon, Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai Central said that the early diagnosis of multiple CBD stones with immediate removal of stones via ERCP allowed them to do laparoscopic cholecystectomy (removal of gall bladder) within 48 hours. This quick management saved the patient from possible complications such as cholangitis, pancreatitis, and obstructive jaundice, and she made a remarkable recovery, he added. Dr. Kazerouni advised that patients with repeated symptoms of upper abdominal pain with or without jaundice should be evaluated early so that similar diagnoses can be made, and they can avoid major complications.

What Is The Need Of The Hour To Prevent COVID-19 Surge In India? Experts Share Their Thoughts
The possibility of another COVID wave in India cannot be overlooked, given the present conditions in some countries like Japan, the US, Korea, and China. Experts share their thoughts on how to prevent and tackle the COVID surge. In the wake of the sudden rise in coronavirus cases in many countries around the end of 2022, India began strengthening its COVID precaution measures. States and UTs were asked to ensure that necessary public health measures are put in place to minimize the spread of the virus, as well as to strengthen the focus on TestTrack-Treat-Vaccination and adherence to COVID-appropriate behavior. Additionally, states were told to monitor and report cases of influenza-like illness and severe acute respiratory illness on a regular basis for detecting the early rising trend of COVID-19 cases. Currently, the COVID situation in India seems to be pretty much under control, with less than 100 new cases reported in the last 24 hours. But the possibility of another wave cannot be overlooked, given the present conditions in some countries like Japan, the US, Korea, and China. So, what we can do now to prevent the COVID-19 surge? Let’s hear what the experts have to say on this: Vaccination is the best way to prevent the COVID-19 surge Dr. Nikhil Modi says, “The virus that causes COVID-19 is a type of coronavirus that has been there for many years. These viruses tend to change their genetic material from time to time, leading to the evolution of new strains. In the same way, the COVID-19 virus has the tendency to change its material and form new strains, which can cause newer infections even in persons who have had COVID or even if they are vaccinated. Hence, a sudden change in a strain can bring about a surge in infections at any time.” According to him, the golden rule to prevent or reduce a further surge in COVID-19 cases is to get all people vaccinated. He elaborates, “Even if the number of infections increases if all people are vaccinated, the chances of developing a serious disease will be less. Also, from the previous COVID waves, we have observed that wearing a mask provides protection against the virus to a great extent. So, we should not let our guard down and continue to follow good habits in the future too. A mask can go a long way in protecting us against COVID-19 and minimizing the spread of the disease. Additionally, we should keep our immunity stronger by following a good healthy diet. Those who have an underlying disease should take their medicines regularly. By taking these steps we can disrupt the chain of COVID spread and thus future surge.” People should stick to the COVID-19 protocols As many countries report a rise in COVID cases, Dr. Aniket Mule, Consultant Internal Medicine, Wockhardt Hospitals in Mira Road, also highlighted the importance of strict adherence to COVID-19 protocol, which includes masking, hand sanitizing, and social distancing. He advises that you should: “Do not allow any visitors at home, if you have small kids at home as they will be at a higher risk of contracting COVID-19,” he adds. Need a 360-degree healthcare service to tackle the COVID surge Prashant Kashyap, Co-Founder, and COO, of Connect and Heal, opines that digitization of healthcare can help better deal with any healthcare crisis in the future. He states, “The onset of the pandemic pushed businesses to go virtual almost overnight. With working from home becoming the norm, employees’ needs and expectations regarding healthcare benefits also changed. As a result, today, several organizations provide healthcare services above and beyond health insurance as a benefit. With the expanding scope of healthcare benefits, the need for a technology-based solution is more evident than ever. This is where tech-enabled platforms providing 360 healthcare will play a crucial role in the event of a new wave.” “Be it telemedicine, health screenings, emergency support, or preventive care, the ability to provide seamless access will determine how effective a solution is. And seamless delivery is possible only through the digitization of healthcare. While the pandemic catalyzed the adoption of digital healthcare, a lot more is possible with a greater degree of public-private partnerships. Digitization of healthcare would also help standardize care protocols across the entire healthcare ecosystem – a must for dealing with any healthcare crisis in the future,” he adds. Globally, 2.8 million new COVID cases recorded last week According to WHO, nearly 2.8 million new COVID-19 cases and more than 13, 000 deaths related to the disease were reported worldwide in the week of 9 to 15 January 2023. The highest numbers of new weekly cases were reported from Japan (1,025,321), the United States of America (415,864), the Republic of Korea (286 291), Australia (191,750), and China (190,451). The highest numbers of new weekly deaths were reported from the United States of America (3922 new deaths), Japan (2849), China (802), Australia (742), and France (520). In the last 24 hours, India recorded 89 new COVID-19 cases, according to the data released by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare on Tuesday morning. The country’s active caseload currently stands at 1,931, while its daily and weekly positivity rates stand at 0.06 percent and 0.08 percent respectively. During the same period, 90 patients recovered from the viral disease, and the country’s current recovery rate is reported at 98.81 percent. In view of rising coronavirus cases in many countries, the Indian government recently revised its guidelines pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the protocols for international travelers. Starting this month, negative RT-PCR report was made mandatory for international passengers from China, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Thailand. Thermal screening is also done for all the passengers at the point of entry and those found to be symptomatic during screening are isolated and taken to a designated medical facility as per health protocol. So far, India has administered 220.30 crore total vaccine doses (95.16 crore second doses and 22.57 crore precaution doses) under Nationwide Vaccination Drive. At present, more than 2 lakh doses are administered
Dermoid Ovarian Cyst Weighing 2 Kgs Removed From 28-Year-Old Woman
A team led by Dr. Rajashri Tayshete Bhasale removed 16 cm and 2 kgs of the dermoid ovarian cyst from a 28-year-old woman who is a resident of Mira Road. A team led by Dr. Rajashri Tayshete Bhasale removed 16 cm and 2 kgs of the dermoid ovarian cyst from a 28-year-old woman who is a resident of Mira Road. The patient has been discharged from the hospital and is leading a normal life. Patient Nisha Shah (name changed), an IT professional, went to Kerala on a vacation.

Dr. Rajashri Tayshete Bhasale, Consultant Gynaecologist & Obstetrician, Laparoscopic Surgeon, Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road said, “Clinical examination and investigations revealed a dermoid ovarian cyst of 16cm size. An ovarian dermoid cyst is a fluid-filled sac having tissue from your hair, skin, sweat glands, nerves, teeth, or other things like bones. Dermoid cysts of the ovary are not uncommon. This patient had a huge dermoid with elements like sebaceous material, hair, teeth, bones, skin, and cartilage making it challenging to remove by laparoscopic surgery.” Dr. Rajashri Tayshete Bhasale added “We did three port Laparoscopic Ovarian Cystectomy keeping in mind to preserve ovaries for future fertility. Cystectomy was done and the specimen was delivered through a small incision. The post-surgery patient was discharged on day 2 of surgery. It was important to treat her at the right time as this could have led to complications like torsion of the ovary and thus compromising fertility.” “I was in shock when I came to know about the dermoid cyst. I wasn’t aware of this type of cyst. Fortunately, I was managed promptly by the team of doctors at Wockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road. I thank the doctors for their round-the-clock care and treatment,” concluded Nisha Shah (Name Changed).

Harry’s drugs connection: Why it is unsafe to use psychedelics to deal with trauma
Prince Harry mentioned in his memoir Spare that he resorted to psychedelic drugs to deal with the trauma of his mother Princess Diana’s death. A look at how psychedelic drugs can be dangerous. Prince Harry admitted in his book Spare mentioned that he used psychedelic drugs to deal with his mother Lady Diana’s death. Ever since that psychedelic drugs have become a hot topic of discussion. During Harry’s interview with Anderson Cooper for 60 Minutes, he touches upon a topic from his book about how he used psychedelic drugs to deal with the death of his mother several years later. He mentioned that he had a lot of trouble coping with the loss, even having a hard time believing she was truly dead. Psychedelic drugs come with their own share of effects and adverse effects. Further studies are definitely required to know the long-term side effects due to regular and prolonged use of these drugs. Though many studies have shown that addiction and abuse of psychedelic drugs is not a problem, it is the tolerance part that is a worrying attribute. Dr. Sonal Anand, psychiatrist, at Wockhardt Hospital, Mumbai says “Although most psychedelics have not been directly responsible for causing death, the judgment of users is certainly impaired and can pose a greater risk in an unsupervised setting. The safety concerns with psychedelics are predominantly psychological but studies have shown that pre-existing physical conditions might show exacerbations because of tachycardia, increased blood pressure, and heart rate. One major concern of hallucinogen use is that hallucinogen persisting perception disorder. It is characterized by re-experiencing the perceptual distortions induced by a hallucinogen at some later time. HPPD is composed of afterimages and perceived distortions of movements. These can cause more anxiety, can lead to re-experiencing the same trauma, and worsen depression and PTSD or acute stress. Due to tolerance increased doses of the psychedelics might have to be taken to relieve trauma and these increased doses might not have the same pleasurable effect.” Dr. Sonal AnandPsychiatristWockhardt Hospitals, Mira Road To book an appointment call: +918108101104 Source: https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/spare-harrys-drug-connection-why-it-is-unsafe-to-use-psychedelic-drug-to-deal-with-trauma-12004132.html

Lungs Health: Early Warning Signs Of Lung Diseases
Knowing the early signs of lung disease can help us seek treatment before the condition deteriorates or even becomes life-threatening. It’s possible for lung disease symptoms to emerge slowly and discreetly at first. People frequently think their symptoms are a sign of becoming older or being unfit. Many people modify their daily activities to accommodate or decrease their symptoms rather than seeking help. By being aware of the early signs of lung disease, you can receive treatment before it becomes worse or becomes life-threatening. A troublesome cough or a light wheeze may go unnoticed throughout our busy days, but it is important to pay attention to even the smallest symptoms. Breathing issues should be regularly examined because they may be the first signs of lung disorders including COPD, asthma, or lung cancer.
