This typically results when a person sweats too much.

Skin reddening, dryness, irritation are the visible signs of skin rash.

Rashes are one of the common summer diseases. Apply

talcum powder to avoid sweat accumulation in folds of skin and also try to clean these areas frequently.



Heat Stroke

Heat stroke is a serious condition. If untreated, it may prove fatal.

If you encounter a headache, vomiting, cramps, weakness, drying of skin,

rapid heart rate, high body temperature or shallow breathing,

it’s pretty possible you’re experiencing a heat stroke.

Drink adequate liquids. Additionally, staying in cooler areas helps avoid heat stroke conditions.

Eating contaminated food and unsafe drinking habits can lead to diarrhoea.

To keep away from diarrhoea, make sure that you drink water only after

boiling it and wash vegetables thoroughly before and after slicing them



Chicken Pox

Chicken pox makes of one of the most common summer disease.

It starts in the form of fluid filled, red and small rashes accompanied

by fever as high as 102 Fahrenheit and ultimately turns into fluid-filled

blisters which crust or chip over leaving marks on the skin.



Measles

Measles is yet another common summer disease. Also known as rubeola or morbilli,

it’s more or less the same as chicken pox in the way it is transmitted.

It usually infects the lining at the back of the throat.

Chicken pox - Easy and quick reference



         Chicken pox, also referred to as Varicella, is an extremely contagious disease

that is caused by infection of the virus, Varicella zoster.

It results in small painful blisters across the body. It is an airborne disease,

which spreads through a cough and sneeze of a contaminated person.

causes

This is a highly contagious disease and spreads rapidly.

The disease is transmitted by direct contact with someone who has been affected

by the disease or by breathing in the virus particles.



Symptoms

Chickenpox appears 10 to 21 days after introduction to the virus and usually lasts for 5 to 10 days.

A rash is the prime manifestation of the disease. Once the chickenpox rash appears,

it goes through two phases, small fluid-filled blisters (vesicles),

and crusts and scabs, which cover the broken blisters.

Other symptoms that surface 1 to 2 days before the rash include:



Fever.

Tiredness.

A general feeling of being unwell.

Headache.

Raised pink or red bumps.

Malaise.

Prevention

To prevent the occurrence of the disease, one should get the chickenpox vaccine.

The vaccine is very effective at preventing chickenpox.

Most people who get a dose of the vaccine do not get affected by the disease,

and even if they do, the symptoms are much milder in intensity.

Dialysis--Overview



Dialysis is a procedure to remove waste products and excess fluid from the blood

when the kidneys stop working properly.

It often involves diverting blood to a machine to be cleaned.



You need dialysis if your kidneys no longer remove enough wastes and fluid from your

blood to keep you healthy.

This usually happens when you have only 10 to 15 percent of your kidney function left.



Haemodialysis

Haemodialysis is the most common type of dialysis and the one most people are aware of.

In hemodialysis, a dialysis machine and a special filter called an artificial kidney,

or a dialyzer, are used to clean your blood.

During the procedure, a tube is attached to a needle in your arm.

Blood passes along the tube and into an external machine.

  The dialyzer, or filter, has two parts, one for your blood and one for a

washing fluid called dialysate. A thin membrane separates these two parts.

Blood cells, protein and other important things remain in your

blood because they are too big to pass through the membrane.

Smaller waste products in the blood, such as urea,

creatinine, potassium and extra fluid pass through the membrane and are washed away.

Then it is passed back into the arm along another tube.

This is usually carried out 3 days a week, with each session lasting around 4 hours.

Knee replacement Surgery -Easy and Quick Reference



Knee replacement, also called arthroplasty, is a surgical procedure

to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis.

Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint,

along with the kneecap. This surgery may be considered for someone who has severe arthritis

or a severe knee injury.



During the procedure



* The anesthesiologist will continuously monitor your heart rate, blood pressure,

breathing, and blood oxygen level during the surgery.

* The skin over the surgical site will be cleansed with an antiseptic solution.



* The doctor will make an incision in the knee area..

* The doctor will remove the damaged surfaces of the knee joint

and resurface the knee joint with the prosthesis.

The knee prosthesis is made up of metal and plastic.

The most common type of artificial knee prosthesis is a cemented prosthesis.

* The incision will be closed with stitches or surgical staples.

* A drain may be placed in the incision site to remove fluid.

* A sterile bandage or dressing will be applied.



After the surgery you will be taken to the recovery room for observation.

A physical therapist will meet with you soon after your surgery and plan an exercise program

joint replacements carry the same dangers as other major surgeries, like a chance of infections or blood clots.

Realistic activities following total knee replacement include unlimited

walking, swimming, golf, driving, light hiking, biking, ballroom dancing, and other low-impact sports.

With appropriate activity modification, knee replacements can last for many years.

மூட்டு தேய்மானம்(OsteoArthritis) காரணங்கள்,அறிகுறிகள்,பரிசோதனைகள்

Osteoarthritis - Quick and Easy Reference

A joint is where two bones come together. The ends of these bones

are covered with protective tissue called cartilage. With OA, this cartilage breaks down,

causing the bones within the joint to rub together. This can cause pain, stiffness, and other symptoms.



The most common symptoms of osteoarthritis include:

pain

tenderness (discomfort when pressing on the area with your fingers)

stiffness

inflammation



Osteoarthritis diagnosis

Early OA is often diagnosed after an accident or other incident that causes a

fracture requiring an X-ray.

In addition to X-rays, your doctor may use an MRI scan to diagnose OA.
