முறிந்த எலும்புகள் எப்படி தன்னைத்தானே சரிபடுத்திக் கொள்கிறது? How does a bone heal?

How does a bone heal?


The immediate response to a fracture is bleeding from the blood vessels dotted throughout our bones.New bone starts to form mostly at the edges of the fracture.To fill the void space between the broken ends, cells produce soft cartilage. Then, special cells called osteoblasts create a hard bony callus using collagen and minerals like calcium and phosphorus. Thus forming our new bone. However, this new bone is irregular in shape. Hence, cells called osteoclasts start remodeling the bone. Resulting in the formation of bone similar to the original shape.Cartilage, or soft callus, formation peaks around 8 days after injury.

ரத்தப் பரிசோதனை- நோய்களை கணிக்க ரத்தப் பரிசோதனை ஏன் செய்யப்படுகிறது? Complete blood count test


A complete blood count (CBC) - How to?

A complete blood count (CBC) gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells , white blood cells , and platelets . 
A CBC helps to diagnose conditions, such as anemia , infection, and many other disorders.


A CBC test usually includes:

Red blood cell (RBC) count

Red blood cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the RBC count is low (anemia), the body may not be getting the oxygen it needs. If the count is too high (a condition called polycythemia), 
there is a chance that the red blood cells will clump together and block tiny blood vessels (capillaries). 
This also makes it hard for your red blood cells to carry oxygen.


Hematocrit 

This test measures the amount of space (volume) red blood cells take up in the blood. The value is given as a percentage of red blood cells in a volume of blood. For example, a hematocrit of 38 means that 38% of the blood's volume is made of red blood cells. Hematocrit and hemoglobin values are the two major tests that show if anemia or polycythemia is present.


Hemoglobin (Hgb)

The hemoglobin molecule fills up the red blood cells. It carries oxygen and gives the blood cell its red color. The hemoglobin test measures the amount of hemoglobin in blood and is a good measure of the blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout the body.

White blood cell count

White blood cells protect the body against infection. If an infection develops, white blood cells attack and destroy the bacteria, virus, or other organism causing it. White blood cells are bigger than red blood cells but fewer in number. When a person has a bacterial infection, the number of white cells rises very quickly. The number of white blood cells is sometimes used to find an infection or to see how the body 
is dealing with cancer treatment.


White blood cell types  

The major types of white blood cells are neutrophils , lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Immature neutrophils, called band neutrophils, are also part of this test. Each type of cell plays a different role in protecting the body. The numbers of each one of these types of white blood cells give important information about the immune system . Too many or too few of the 
different types of white blood cells can help find an infection, an allergic or toxic reaction to medicines or chemicals, and many conditions,such as leukemia .

Platelet (thrombocyte) count

Platelets (thrombocytes) are the smallest type of blood cell. They are important in blood clotting. When bleeding occurs, the platelets swell, clump together, and form a sticky plug that helps stop the bleeding. If there are too few platelets, uncontrolled bleeding may be a problem. If there are too many platelets, there is a chance of a blood clot forming in a blood vessel. Also, platelets may be involved in hardening of the arteries .

நமக்கு பசி உணர்வும், சாப்பிட்டதும் வயிறு நிறைந்த உணர்வும் எப்படி ஏற்படுகிறது? Appetite signals in tamil


How do we know our hunger and our stomach is full? 

our stomach and brain are constantly communicating with each other. With the help of hormones and nerves. The stomach produces a hormone called ghrelin. Ghrelin generally travels to the brain through blood and informs the brain that we need to eat and thus, we feel hungry. Now, when we eat food to satisfy our hunger, the food enters our stomach, causing its walls to stretch and expand.
When this happens. The nerves on the stomach walls detect the expansion and tell the brain that our stomach is full and our hunger is satisfied. 

When we begin to eat. Nutrients in food stimulate the release of cholecystokinin which eventually enters the bloodstream. It is the presence of this cholecystokinin in the blood. Which informs the brain that we are eating food and not just drinking water. Now, as we eat more food, more cholecystokinin is released. Informing our brain that our stomach is getting full with food.

எண்டோஸ்கோப்பி கருவி - Endoscopy Types and Procedures #health #endoscopy


Endoscopy Types and Procedures

Endoscopy is a procedure that allows a doctor to view the inside of a person's body.
During an endoscopy, the doctor inserts a tool called an endoscope into a person’s body. 
Most endoscopes are thin tubes with a powerful light and tiny camera at the end.

Types of endoscopy


Arthroscopy - Joints
Bronchoscopy -Trachea, or windpipe, and the lungs
Colonoscopy -Entire length of the colon and large intestine
Cystoscopy -Inside of the bladder
Laparoscopy -Stomach, liver, or other abdominal organs, including female reproductive organs, 
including the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes
Laryngoscopy -Larynx, or voice box
Proctoscopy -Rectum and sigmoid colon, which is the bottom part of the colon
Gastroscopy -Stomach and duodenum, which is the beginning of the small intestine

தடுப்பூசிகள் தேவை - ஏன்? Why do we need vaccines in tamil #vaccine #health


Why do we need vaccines

Vaccination is a safe and effective way to prevent disease and save lives – now more than ever. Vaccination is a simple, safe, and effective way of protecting people against harmful diseases, before they come into contact with them. It uses your body’s natural defenses to build resistance to specific infections and makes your immune system stronger.Vaccines train your immune system to create antibodies, just as it does when it’s exposed to a disease. However, because vaccines contain only killed or weakened forms of germs like viruses or bacteria, they do not cause the disease or put you at risk of its complications.Most vaccines are given by an injection, but some are given orally. 

Vaccines reduce risks of getting a disease by working with your body’s natural defenses to build protection. When you get a vaccine, 
your immune system responds. It:
Recognizes the invading germ, such as the virus or bacteria.
\Produces antibodies. 
Antibodies are proteins produced naturally by the immune system to fight disease.
Remembers the disease and how to fight it. If you are then exposed to the germ in the future, 
your immune system can quickly destroy it before you become unwell.

Menopause is the end of a woman’s menstrual cycles.Women are born with all of their eggs, which are stored in their ovaries. Their ovaries also make the hormones estrogen and progesterone, which control their period (menstruation) and the release of eggs (ovulation). Menopause happens when the ovaries no longer release an egg every month and menstruation stops.Menopause is a regular part of aging when it happens after the age of 40.

நமக்கு காய்ச்சல் ஏன் ஏற்படுகிறது? What causes a fever


What causes a fever ?


     A fever is not a disease. It is usually a sign that your body is trying to fight an illness or infection.
Infections cause most fevers. You get a fever because your body is trying to kill the virus or bacteria that caused the infection.
    The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. 
One purpose of a fever is thought to be to raise the body's temperature high enough to kill off certain bacteria and viruses sensitive 
to temperature changes.
